Heres a picture that i took of our elf, hiding up the christmas tree last year. Hes been making appearances through the year this year and has been nicknamed the 'spendy elf':rotfl:http://itsnotterrysitschoccys.blogspot.com/2009/08/choccys-spendy-elf.html

cute helper!! I did the whole elf thing last year and my 2 were 7 and 10 though the 10 year old didn't believe in father christmas (boo hoo!) was great fun though I loved it!!

Wondered how long it would be before that elf popped up :rotfl:.

Where are his shopping bags or has he delivered them

I know I have previuosly, raved about halfcost, but the latest parcel I have recieved is appalling, have emailed customer services and am waiting...

Ordered a mix + match parcel, including 12 vodka sets, parcel came today, very exicted.

The address label was correct.
The invoice correct - was miffed to see sticker saying vodka out of stock, fair enough, its happened before and theyve refunded.

The actual parcel contained-
4 x boxes dolphin wall plaques, as soon as I lifted the boxes, they all rattled, smashed to pieces

2 x princess compact mirrors

1 x size 8 pink top.

None of these items were on my order.....

OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING VERY DODGY HAS GONE ON,

Its the 1st incident I've had, but enough to cause concern.

I recieved my parcel yesterday with only 4 of the 9 items I had ordered and nothing to say another parcel would be following :mad::mad::mad:

Have you emailed customer servcies, I did but it says they will get back to you with 48hrs.

I know they deliever / prepare a lot of orders, but now its happened to someone else, makes me wonder.

Hope you get it sorted out ok.

I will have to see if I can find/get a picture of our winter visitor Merry. Have already been snooping for a new one for this year to come visit. I'm thinking something white this year although I'd love to make him a sock monkey from some festive socks - thinking with a long tail he could get into plenty of mischief.

Still liking the little door idea but I don't know if that's exciting enough for Ben - think he'd prefer to have a toy he could play with and I'm sure i could make a few festive little bits for a sock monkey too.

Just to get you thinking.....

If you won the Lottery and had unlimited funds would you still be Thrifty Gifty??? Would you still shop in the £1 shop?? Would you still start your Christmas shopping in the January Sales???

Answers on a postcard LOL.......;)
