Hi All & Hi all newbies!
Have been lurking and updating but not very chatty lately sorry!! Can I just say you all have some fab ideas!
Have updated blog to include all your best ideas and thanked everyone where possible - please dont be offended if I forgot to thank you, I was trying to do it all as fast as possible X http://thriftygifty.blogspot.com/

Hello girls,

I can see that you are all busy with new ideas.

I was buying some bits to make a (sort of ) hamper, feel that an actual basket will be the wrong thing. Might buy one of those sturdy plastic boxes with lids that can be re-used as it's for my son that lives away from home and he's moving into a different house this weekend of his birthday (student). It's difficult as I need to hide the stuff in my bedroom as he's home at the moment. And what I plan to buy isn't that light to carry as I don't drive. Hopefully I can buy the box and a few lighter things today as he'll be out all day and won't see what I bring back.

I can't wait until the 24th mum2one.

Another possible Freebie for the pressie boxes, only just sent for this one so don't know if it comes or not...

Free footie key ring, so may be ok for OH's advent gifts or a footy mad sons.

I watched my Christmas movie yesterday - the polar express. ds2 chose to watch this whilst we were in the hospital for 7 hours! I have also eaten the choc (Plus most of the other bars that came in the multipack:eek:) but not yet done the freezer as the kitchen still isn't finished. sorry - will I be banned!
thanks jammy for updating the blog - it is great to have everything all in one place:A

I cannot watch an xmas movie before September, it is just not right!!!!!! I love the polar express though very good!

Saw Harry Potter 6 last night and it was BRILLIANT!

Thanks for the free gift info the other day Sarahf a USB laptop light has turned up in the post with no labels so that must be the suprise freebie! very happy with it

Oooh that's the second person I've heard give the HP film a great review - my friend went to see it in 3D at the Glasgow Science Center. Must try to go see it!

Talking of Christmas films - anyone remember "Santa Claus the Movie"? That's gotta be one of the all time greats!

good to finally hear a good review of harry potter, everyone that I spoke to who went to the staff preview of it said it was thw worst of all the movies and a huge disappointment!

Done a little bit more sewing but not in a good mood really so just kinda moping about (which doesn't help lol) thought it was just depression that I had but have found out that apparently I have bipolar so that's not great. Popped onto the freebies low spend where I suggested linking the newspapers that had freebies, not realising that there was a similar thread on the discount vouchers board and they ahve jumped down my throat leaving me in tears. I know I am probably building it up from what it is because I am in a down mood today but am going to stick to hiding out here where everyone is nice and friendly lol

98jdougl - sorry to hear about your bipolar..........don't worry about people on the freebie board having a go........some of them are really friendly but like everywhere I suppose, its a bit of a mixture.
I saw your posting and thought it was a good idea.....I don't often think to look elsewhere -in fact, don't even know where the discount vouchers thing is...............don't let it get to you, its not worth it:o

thanks mary... just get upset so easily by some things- can easily misread a tone as well I find.
thankfully don't get that problem here woo.
Am off to see harry potter this afternoon, hope its better than reported so far!
Am will then get into some crafting... maybe
