    My family switched to gift bags a couple of years ago... admittedly they're expensive to buy at first but you just make sure that you get the bags back a couple of weeks later and re-use them every year.


    Good idea, but I still feel obliged to wrap them in tissue paper first :confused:. In fact, wrapping in tissue paper first does help with odd shapes. I am an origami wannabe :rotfl:

    All sunny here but just letting the cat out was chilly enough for me to realise I'm staying in today. I'm working on the washing & testing the chocolates. Place is still a mass of paper, lights & sparkly stuff but I'm slowly working my way through it ...


    I like your new siggy TDQ :cool:

    Well it seems like the general consensus is space, so that is what I shall do. If he decides to buy me a christmas present I may reconsider, otherwise I may die of curiosity ;)

    Oh well, there's plenty of other things I can do. I think the plan for today will be doing a workable budget, Plan my studying, exercising, things to do for fun, general madness :T and Tidy my room :rolleyes:

    And yes makeup, I have read he's just not that into you, had just forgot it pearls of wisdom until you mentioned it. Won't make that mistake again :D

    You're both ahead of me...I've been sleeping/dozing for most of the day after spending most of the night being sick/feeling sick... It's SCD with flat lemonade and biscuits now, oh the glamour...:rolleyes:

    PS. And it's not even drink related, sickness bug doing the rounds at work. Typical I should get it at a weekend :rolleyes:

    I'm sat in watching really old Friends and waiting for Strictly to start again, oh and still waiting for my dinner to cook. Making a right footery dinner and it's STILL not ready. Rock on!
