SOoooooooooooooooooooooo exciting!!!

By the way, is everyone aware that Amazon are not sending their deliveries with Royal Mail at the moment?? Good with regards to the upcoming strikes! PLUS, just had an email from them saying that there's no longer a minimum order required for the Super Saver Free Delivery!! About time too!! lol

Just thought I'd share!!

It's still only the Super Saver delivery that's free as far as I can tell though. Other deliveries still cost, but there's no longer a minimum purchase amount needed for Super Saver!

Hi all !
Been down town hoping to get little robins so I can get the robins breakfast finished off.............lady hasn't got them out yet......... Now she's promised me them for next week........:j
Did at least remember to get stickypad/hook and picture nails so tomorrow I can hang a few things up that I've had bought me and are currently cluttering up my desk.
Re-arranged sons girlfriends christmas and birthday shoe boxes so her birthday one is now all wrapped with ribbon.............christmas one just needs the robin thing in it and that'll be done. One of my sons is finished-just needs ribbon tying round - beginning to see where I am............I think.........:rotfl:
Couldn't resist the charity shops...........two books for little grandson -winnie the pooh and bob the builder -the sort with the buttons on that make a noise when you press them. Jumper for me............red one (think I need a bit of colour...........lol) and a lovely photo album.........don't need one I just loved it. Oh and a little glove puppet to put in grandsons 'winnie the pooh' door hanger for his 'first thing in the morning' stuff.
Posted other sons girlfriends birthday box off and realised I've not made her a card yet.............:eek:
Ooops...............oh well..................do that tomorrow:j
Still no appt. from hospital for OH's scan...........he's going bonkers worrying about it and so am I Ain't there always something:o

I finished the bag I was making for my daughter's xmas present. Here's a pic.



The fabric was left over from the quilt, cost about £2 altogether for the whole piece. The buckle on the front and strap going through it was an old belt. The shoulder strap was £2, the buckles on that were from an old bag. The lining of the bag was cut out from an old hand bag in one piece and sewn straight in the new bag so it has zip pocket and compartment for mobile etc already in it. Zip was £1.20 so altogether less than a fiver.

Oooooooooooooooooo don't talk about Christmas telly!!! I get soooooooooooooo excited about it!!! I LOVE it when the Christmas Radio Times is out!!!!! I sit there with a cuppa and a pen and read the whole things from start to finish, circling all the telly I MUST watch or record, stuff that I might watch/record, and classic stuff that I'd love to have on in the background at somepoint over the Christmas period (maybe while wrapping, cooking, opening pressies...).

You've got me COMPLETLEY over excited!!! hehehehe

I do the same too Clare. I sit and look thru the mag and put a big star next to everything i want to watch / record! Love it

By the way does anybody think October drags sooooooo much???? I know theres halloween at the end of it, but thats not a realy big deal to me. I love bonfire night but once that over and done with then it really starts to feel like christmas time with all the decorations going up in the shops and all the christmas music being played!!!! Cant wait for october to be over and done with xxxxxx

I am the same too. I am not into Halloween too much either. I do my kids a tea party and decorate the front room and get them all dressed into costumes but much prefer firework night and of course Crimbo :T


I did ok today. I got my children P.j's and christmas slipper sock for their Christmas hamper from Primark today. I also managed to get from Primakr my 9 yr dd 4 pairs of jean for £2 - £3 a pair off The sale rail and 2 pairs for my 6 yr old dd too! :T Got some gloves and hats for my christmas shoe boxes for charity too.

I cut my shopping trip short as my 18 month old was really grumpy. She also pulled about 20 tops off their hangers in Primark 1 minute they were all hung up nice next there was a empty rail and my dd was covered in tops! She must of grabbed whole wedge of them and pulled! :eek: Not funny!

Will pop out tomorrow again and try get some more bits.
