    Just got a text from OH saying he's bought me a couple more things for Christmas, eeee! Only 49 sleeps now!


    OH told me te other day that he knows what he is going to get me for christmas, i always know what he is getting me because i alwys drop huge hints - but even i dont know what i want so now im intrigued as to what it is. I guess this will be the first year that my present off OH is a surprise!!
    I've always had little things that were a surprise but not my main present!



    Crikey Flower, I feel sorry for you OH! I'm glad I'm one of those people who can kind of block work out as soon as I leave the Office door. If I were you OH I'd turn my phone off this weekend so they can't get me - My OHs work is just as bad calling him up on the days he's off wanting him to come in so now when we're out he turns it off.

    Because his work is literally a 2 minutes walk from the house, if he turns his phone off and they want him they will think nothing of sending someone round to get him. They sent some new guy round to ask him to come in on his day off at 8 one morning, i told him to sod off :rotfl:

    Thats what his mum said, but then shes always asking when we're going to get married :rolleyes: its a kind of given that one day we want to get married but he has to ask me first!

    I dont think thats it though, i dont know why i just have a feeling!

    Maybe hes going to take me to New York - well i can dream anyway :D

    Flower that is the same as me , you know it will happen but the question is when!

    I ruined my OHs surprise for xmas, by syaing it would be a good idea for him to get me a sat nav and he was already planning to oops.

    Well done for hitting your £500 savings mark! :beer:

    I'm just about to write my S&G list :D I don't know how many perfumes there are but I tried the one in the black bottle the other day and it's lovely!

    Is the voucher challenge starting in January or now?

    Zig - Most are starting in January but Me and Dinah are being show-offs and starting now :D S&G just have the one perfume, the one in the black bottle. I love it!

    Spent £19.50 this afternoon, all on my lovely OH! £10 on presents for him to give my family and £9.50 on some snazzy M&S work trousers. Will be getting the £10 for gifts back though. Letting him off on the £9.50 cause he's on a stupidly tight budget, and it's only £9.50!

    Tonights plans have gone a bit wonky! Didn't get home till 3:30 as traffic was pretty bad. The joiner from work was in so I ended up having a knatter with him over a cuppa before heading in the bath. And now it's almost 5! Still 2 reviews and 40 STP tracks to go, and all running on very little faith! Have my 2 things though so I best get a jog on.

    I'm gonna start the voucher challenge now then, to give myself a head start cuz my sig never looks good! :p

    Cinny, when you have a minute could you please have a look at my S&G shopping list on my diary and see if there's anything on there that isn't worth buying. Or something that I should buy that isn't on there. Thank you!

    That's sweet of you getting your OH's work trousers! Today I bought my OH a rocky road dessert with extra chocolate sauce as a bribe to get him to come round tonight. :D But he isn't til after the pub which is like 1, which is rubbish!
