Managed a few more gifts while out shopping this morning, got ds2 a alien goo experiment lab thing and bits to go with it out of home bargins, will go back tomorrow and get a few more packs and the other lab, bargin at £4.99, £3.99, 99p and 79p he loves anything experimenty and gooey. Got the dog a lovely glittery red collor that she can have when we put the dec's up so she looks all festive, and got her a stocking with toys in out of the £1 shop and have seen a large remote control red supreme dalek in B&ms which i will go and get ds1 tomorrow for £19.99.

Picked some bits up for the holiday next week, which i must start sorting out, really not organised with this holiday, normally have everything sorted and packed 3 weeks before, and I've only just started packing:eek:

Just ordered a clapper board of amazon for ds1 to go with his new video camera and a where's wally box set for ds2 both using vouchers so not cost me anything :j, just need to try and earn some more now.

Hello
I wondered if anyone know is ITV2 will show their Christmas pantos again. They have the last 2 yrs and my kids love snuggling up on the sofa with their blankets to watch them. They showed them at 6pm each night for about a week (different one each night).

I am off shopping tomorrow for some small bits for stocking fillers, hampers and for my Christmas shoe box donations too :j

Oooo I remeber watching the turn of the screw a few years ago, must of been a new original version cos it was set like a period drama. Its was very chilling and scary to watch, looking forward to that cos I love a good ghost story but its not very christmassy. Thanks for that clare you have me even more excited now!!!!!
