    I hope you realise that you have now forced me to have a trip to Tesco tomorrow:rotfl::rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I hit the sales today.
    Got a radley handbag for £32.50 for me (spending xmas money)
    a sequinned flowery jewellery case for one nan £22.50
    both Debenhams
    russian doll purse £3 for DD
    russian doll lavender bag £3 MIL
    moonsoon accessorize
    russian doll money box £5 MIL
    next
    baileys ice cream maker £12.50 DH
    Boots

    Not sure if Baileys has a date on it:cool: will have to look, but is only a miniture that can be replaced

    All these were 50% off.

    Also got
    a gift set in Home Bargains that has shower gel, binoculers and torch. Was £3.99 not reduced but I struggle with these sort of bits for DS who will be almost 11 next Christmas so handy to get in now.

    Also in HB little notebooks with fish on the outside, 10p each, bought 10 as they will do as party bag items for the kids birthdays.
    In superdrug I got a key-ring with a football on 10p and a lipgloss with a crown on it also 10p- these will be stocking fillers for kids next year.

    Yes Debenhams, small (but not tiny) black one, I toyed with the idea of getting it for my Mum instead but then I thought naahhh I bought her one a few years ago -also in a 50% off Debenhams sale, so got it for myself instead. I was there early though- a lot of stores were open Sunday hours 10-4 and I had to have a breakfast in BHS waiting for the rest of the shops to open.:D There wasn't many of the bags about 6, but you might be lucky.

    If anybody is looking for wrapping paper, Card Warehouse are selling 3 metre rolls for 50p per roll or six rolls for £1:T
    ;) The toast proposed at our wedding was for "health, wealth and happiness". Our family may not have the health and wealth but we make up for it with the happiness:D
