Its Santas Challenge, Miss Hoodie is helping - which usually means cleaning is involved!! xx

Cleaning! Boo hiss boo!

I think I might try and make the reindeers as table presents this year too. Last year I did the pots of gold and they were really popular.

Ive decided to get OH an Ereader for his december (!) BIrthday. Anybody have any thoughts?

Sis has the Sony EReader - absolutely loves it. Swears it's the best thing she ever bought. I'm not sure which model she has though - I can ask if you like.

Busy day today, will fill you in tomorrow, computer battery about to die. Night all xxx

I just bought my Dad's main christmas present. He mentioned on the phone tonight that he'd really like the Blackadder set on DVD. He has it on video but doesn't have a video player anymore! I checked out the price on Play.com and it was about £35. So I looked on Amazon and it was £18! I bought it straight away and paid for it with my vouchers earned through Dooyoo :j

Can't wait for the 24th, be gentle with us Miss Hoodie!!

Ive only heard good things about the Sony and Waterstones have the pocket version on offer for £99. He reads tonnes, about 3-4 books a week so Im hoping in the long run it will be cheaper, apparently you can get quite a few free books on them so that should be fab.

Oh I love those flannel reindeers! Now you have got me thinking I might do them as a gift also!

Gosh, everyone is so much more organised than me!!!! :eek:

I need to pull my finger out I think!!!!! I have been looking on ebay for a huge box of mixed lego for the older boys. The modern stuff is all so stylised and too specific - I want to get them a big box of general blocks and bits so they can do what their imaginations want. Am watching a couple of lots......

Have also seen some stockings I think they could make themselves, with my help. Pretty sure the boys would make one and eldest DD would happily do hers and her youngest siblings as well - she has more patience than her brothers with that kind of thing.

Have no idea what to get my youngest (1 yr) this year though - he has pretty much everything handed down from his 4 older siblings which is great but would be nice for him to have some stuff that's new for a change.......but what????

Supa-girl, my baby was 1 in August and for Christmas she is getting a wooden activity cube and a box of musical instruments. Doesn't take up too much space, doesn't need any batteries, doesn't cost a lot of money, can be played with with friends and she will love them
