Hey all

Hope your all ok. Ive finally been through the argos catalogue and sorted out my secret santa codes.

Ive decluttered a load of stuff from Littleys room to the school jumble sale and Sunday is free listing day for Ebay so my plan for sunday is list, list, list!

Other than that I havent really done much as Ive been rotten with the cold this week and sleeping most nights by 8pm!

I plan to sort out what Ive got this weekend and hopefully can come back and confirm that my xmas shopping is done.... xx

Mary, so glad you had a better night, and cdsmiler glad your leg is getting better. Two pantos sounds like fun!

Thanks elyphant! Yes, getting much better. Though I did have my swine flu vaccine last night so my arm feels like it's been punched! lol ADd to that that I've caught hubby's cold.....:rolleyes: (So I know how you feel Jo!) Oh well eh! lol Could be a lot worse!

Mary - glad your OH had a better night!

Scattymam - was thinking of you!! Sending you labour vibes!!

For those feeling un-Christmasy, and LOVE the Christmas scheduling, this website might interest you all!! http://sites.google.com/site/ukchristmastv/Home

I've had a little panic last night as I forgot my friend's birthday was at the end of this month, and we're seeing her a week tomorrow!! PANIC! lol It's all your fault you christmas obsessed lovelies!! My brain is all Christmassy and not birthday-y! lol I'll forgive you all though.

Have kinda sorted out my Argos codes for my secret santa, but might do another search through just incase I get any really inspired ideas...

Hello all.................sounds like you've been busy.
I made a real effort on the spare room to get rid of empty cardboard boxes, surplus loo roll middles (how many did I think I'd need and what was I going to do with them???), now at least I can get to the wardrobe to hang my coats up, found handbags I forgot I'd got (best not tell OH) and can see some sort of order in whats in there...........at last.
Young girl came to hoover for me and mopped the kitchen floor so I kept out of her way and dragged out the ever faithful gravy tub............covered it with reindeer paper, stuck a label on and a rudolph piccy on the top and thats reindeer food for one of my foster daughters little boy............then went on to sort out an empty paste jar (snatched from OH so it didn't get chucked out)........stuck some paper round it, rudolph piccy on it and on lid and that'll be reindeer poo......................lol
Not bad day really but I've been completely lazy since then.............think hurling boxes and stuff out this morning was enough.:rolleyes:

Hi all, I too am running out of xmassy things to do, may write xmas cards soon though.
Been trying to organise the house a bti as I only really have until xmas, baby due end of january so won't be much time after. I ordered a load of storage boxes from tesco and was just about to go and collect them yesterday when they rang to tell me 4 are missing, so I am waiting for them to find them. Unfortunatley means my carefully sorted piles will probably get messed up by the time I get the boxes to put stuff in!

Scattymam hope you're not getting too frustrated, I was a week late with both of mine so this time I'm not even going to start hoping until February!
Sending you positive thoughts though!

Thanks for that, I am going to order that for my friend's son, just realised I usually get him a little pressie so that will do for him.

Hi everyone, hope you are all well.

I sorted out my Bro and Sil's hamper today. Found a box that was too deep but the right size so cut it down, covered it with xmas paper and put some tissue paper in the bottom. There's a pic below.

Hamper contains - Bottle of sparkling wine £6 something, Jar mincemeat about 90p, Balsamic Italian dressing £1.29, Strawberry spread £1.58, Apple chutney about £1.50, Shortbread biscuits 39p, Twilight chocolates £1, Organic biscuits £1.99, Bag of chocolate coins 50p. Works out just over £15 and had a £10 Tesco voucher from a daily click site and £3 luncheon vouchers from an online survey I did so in effect cost me £2 out of my own pocket.

Your hamper looks lovely rufusdog - nice mix of treats.

I am hoping to finish of another couple of mine this weekend but the rest will have to wait till nearer Christmas as I plan to put some nice cheeses in them.
