Well I'm Finnally done, shopping is away in the fridge and freezer and all the pressies are wrapped and ready to go under the tree, Xmas eve hampers ready for tomorrow. We are hoping to take the kids sledging again in the morning and then chill out for the rest of the day. Just wanted to Say a big Thankyou to everyone on here without you and this thread I would have been running round like a headless chicken today and tomorrow.

So Thanks Thrifty Gifty Girls, especially mum2one for running the thread.

Hope you all have an amazinng Christmas see you all on the new thread if not before;)

As were nearly at Christmas Eve, ready for the next challenge, although its the last of 2009, its also the start of 2010 Christmas planning.

Could I say a massive thank you to one and all, without you all, we wouldn't be half as organised, home made hampers and gifts, vouchers spent rather than cash, and raiding Boots for the offer of the week.

As the new thread is set up and running, put the Decembers challenge on there, and ask this to be locked.

Me too!!!!!

Couldn't have done it without all you for help, support and advice!

Will see you all on the new thread shortly.

As for me, all food shopping done, presents wrapped. Just some food baking left to do and a bit of cleaning then all done. Casserole made and just needs reheating tomorrow!

Watched White Christmas on DVD tonight while wrapping presents, what a lovely great film!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I know were on the new thread, but as Secret Santa is appliable (big word for me!!) I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who was brave (or daft enuf) to join, the madness of my questions, I didn't like ato ask anyone their age, or their exact likes, and I can confess now the 1st two questions I'd borrowed from my tutor as they were his ice breaker questions and had the lightbulb - thye'd be great.

I hope you all have alovely surprise, and that hubbys, friends etc who ever brought the prezzie, managed to keep it a secret.

I have to say a big thank you to the poor lady who had my dd, she had the most wonderful choices, so shes ended up with 2 sets of the presents, one from Secret Santa and the other has gone onto Father Chrstmas's pile.

I know we have the new 2010 thread, but I'll leave this open to New Year, so if anyone wants to use this for the "I got xxx from my secret santa" that would be brilliant, as it finishes our year off, xx

Bit apprehensive about new thread till new year..............had a quick look and then thought.......no, I'll get this christmas over with before I think ahead.............lol
Think everythings done now..............finished wrapping stuff for one of our foster lads this morning now I keep phoning him and can't get hold of him.............
Foster girl came over yesterday with her little boy and collected her bag of bits then young girl came to play with Henry hoover so yesterday just seemed to go and didn't get chance to log on................then OH couldn't find spare car keys :eek: (found them now -relief !) My little den is a bit chaotic to say the least - pressies all over the place................oh well, we're not expecting the Queen so who cares
Looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow.............snow disappearing (phew ! thank goodness) and on Boxing day Help the Aged are open...........Yippeeeeeeee!!!!!! (Thinking next years pressies maybe ?)

mum2one - thanks for running this thread............been a real help -and thanks to everyone else

Happy Christmas one and all !!!!!!!!!!:T
