  • Hiya Girls and thankyou. One of the big mistakes I have made in the past, was tho think, ok im over that hurdle im fine now and carry on with my old ways. Not this time, new if I did not come back I would start to slip, so here I am back keeping on top of it all. Or doing my best too. I am sorting out birthday presents, well before they are due. By looking out for bargains and getting them there and then, instead of my usual day before the due date, dashing around and spending god knows what on a last minute present. Also thinking of ideas to make things too, for christmas. I know that a long way off but I soooooo want to be organized this year instead of running arounf like a headless chicken. And having to use Decembers pay to buy presents and christmas food shop, and thinking hell i sort the bills in january.

  • Remember I made my friends present and I was very nervous of giving it to her, as she always buys me exspensive presents. It was a album with pictures in of our days out together, I also left lots of room to add new ones. Well she just loves it. When we are out now, she will say o take a picture this or of that or me or her, it will be fab for my album and thinking of a caption for the picture. So present will last for ever,as she just wants to keep it going. It realy is true, its is the thought that counts, if you put thought into it and can come up with the right thing. That is the first time I have done it. But trying to think of other presents for other people (not easy though)
