Thrifty Gifty - Organised for Christmas and all ocassions 2009- Santas Challenges

erm

mum2one,

Just sent you my answers. Can I just say you've done a fabulous job sorting all this out. Where would all us Christmas nutters (using the word "nutters" with affection, obviously :cheesy:) be without you.

I am being incredibly sad, listening to Xmas songs at work this afternoon. If only my colleagues knew!!

I've been away from this thread due to now ex OH issues and I couldn't face the joy of looking forward to Christmas.

Anyway today I was greeted by mum2one's pm and thought I'd better climb back on board the Christmas wagon and carry on with organising.

Have ordered the rest of mum and brother's present from amazon using my £25 off lightspeed voucher spending a total of £59.92 instead of £84.92!

ETA - just priced up at full price on John Lewis and Argos and would have come to £114 saving £54.08 just think last year I would have bought them at this price and popped it on a CC. This year used a voucher earnt all year and got the lowest price I could and paid real money

Well pleased for a DAB radio and DAB alarm clock of v.nice quality

This means that their presents are practically done now :jand the banality of the surveys was worthwhile afterall!

FEDUPANDSKINT ~ Nice to see you back and dont worry about going AWOL you had other things on your mind hun.

Those Secret Santa questions were quite hard. Thanks Mum2One for organising and thinking them up. :beer:

I have spent the morning organising what i need to buy over the weekend as i get paid tomorrow :T

Also for anyone who has children or other children to buy for who like lego there is a voucher glitch on at Tesco direct online. The link below is the thread i posted about it. Its a really good saving for anyone wanting to buy Lego.

I know! I would be lost without you all, but I am sad that I havent' been able to join in as much as previous years! Hopefully next Christmas will be less mental

Fedupandskint - don't worry - you'll soon get back into the spirit of things............((((hugs))))))

Shevs - OH's appointment for scan is next Thursday (29th) at 5.15pm.............nothing to eat or drink for 4 hours before and there was OH planning a little trip into Lincoln pre appt. for lunch and a look round the shops -mind you whether he'd manage it I don't know.
Still won't see consultant - just scan and home and more waiting for results...............then, according to our GP he'll have to go back to hospital for biopsy.
Glad I've done most of my christmas stuff otherwise I think I might have felt like cancelling it at the minute..........the waiting is driving us both potty -still.........he's got some more antibiotics now and doesn't seem as bad as he was............its good days bad days/nights really.

Young girl is coming round tomorrow morning to give a hand clearing out the walk in pantry ...................:j Must do something positive
