Wow I have just read like 30 pages!! You girls have got me really inspired to just finish this Christmas stuff so i can enjoy Christmas!

Today I went to a 99p store. And got a couple of bits. - well 9 bits lol.

My friends almost 9 year old daughter has got

- High School Musical Lip gloss on a key ring - reduced by 50% in Asdas.
- Hannah Montanna super star glam and shine shampoo.

I would like to get her maybe a nice top , some pj's , a book , just some thing else to open as her 2 presents have come to less then 2 pounds. But do not want to spend more then 3 pounds on her as her birthday is 27th and she gets spoiled on both occasions.

My Godson has

- A black and white t-shirt that says ' I want to be a super star millionaire dj'
- Disney car's underwear half price in Asda so got for 2 pounds
- Hot wheels car 99p

I still want to buy him some jeans , a book , a tub of sweets , another car maybe and a nice jumper or pajamma's

My Godson's brother who is 7 but has autism so not quite into what your avergae 7 year likes has

- A colourful touchy feely space invaders t shirt - 2.50 at Primark.
And thats it , this boy is very special to me. I want to buy things he will like and enjoy as a lot of stuff he just throws and screams at because he does not understand it. I was thinking.

A teddy with feely touchy bits on.
Ducks or boats for the bath
Novelty bubble bath.
Pajammas.
A jelly gooey feeling thing as he loves things like this. So maybe 2 of three of those options depending on price. (any other ideas?)

My godsons eldest brother who is 11 (he has milk learning difficulties.)

I have brought him

- A black and white t shirt that says my priorities are sleep , eat play and sleep in that order.
- A army play set (he loves loves loves army and will actually pay attention to things to do with it) he struggles loads with reading and writing.

Any other ideas?

My friends son who is turning 4

I have brought him nothing yet and he is a miracle baby and has almost everything , so really stuck on what to get him. He loves drawing and cars but has all themed cars like disney cars , hot wheels , he has all thomas things.

My brother so far has a mp3 player.

So far i am concentrating on these people , my mum and dad i'm stuck on mainly because i always go overboard with mum and she has almost everything! Including a ds and games i brought her on mothers day this year.

Although there does appear to a problem at the moment with ordering but hope this may help.

Thanks for that one. My Mum's birthday is a week tuesday and she informed my Dad today that she wants a ring as she lost her wedding ring a while ago. She wants a silver celtic one so I'm hoping one may turn up on there. Unfortunately she doesn't know her ring size and she's got oddly knobbly knuckles for someone with such skinny fingers so it's hard to work out!

Been having another go at my 'primitive/folk art' hearts and trees and stars............this time I cut them out of odd pieces of material I'd got kicking about and they look much better...........even OH approves.............lol
He's off for blood test first thing tomorrow and we've got two £5 vouchers off £30-(£60 in total, has to be spent in two lots to get the tenner off) worth of stuff at Lidl so hes going to have a quick look on the way back and see whats worth getting.
His biopsy appt Tuesday isn't till 3.30pm so we'll call at Lidl on the way and maybe use the other voucher and there's a card making shop nearby so I can go and raid that................lol.
Chap coming tomorrow to finish off tidying the garden before the green wheelie bin is collected Tuesday -collection of the green waste stops then till Spring apparently- round here anyway.

If you can get a ring of hers off her, you'll be able to use an online ring-guage to work out what size you need - this is the easiest grid I have found, though there are others on the net that involve sending off for a plastic ring sizer (usually free) or with detailed instructions involving bits of string/pare/calculators!
