Thanks for the BHS sale info and free delivery code. I got the kids some pyjamas ready for next christmas and some christmas cards.

Also just got DD1 a game for her DS, High School Musical 3 from Amazon for £5.98. so that's her birthday sorted.

Getting my nan a free beauty gift set from a magazine subscription for her birthday in Feb, so all sorted for gifts now until my friend in June and MIL in July.

Sounds like you've all been finding some fab bargains over the last few days. Me i've had no such luck:rolleyes:, although i did come across 2 winnie the pooh books while tidying that'll make an ideal gift for my friends little girl. Christ knows when i bought them:o
Mum2one - good news on the sat nav. Can you stick me down for the coppers sealed tin please. My ds will prob end up with them but it'll be nice to see how much we can save in a year. Also you can add me to the preggers list too, i'm due 6th of April:D

Mum2one count me in please for the sealed change pot. I have a big gold shiny piggybank (reduced from birthdays £2.99) called Martin:D.
I think it was me who mentioned the hatboxes from argos. I was hoping to put pjs in one, slippers another but the boxes are too small so need to rethink:rolleyes:.
Snowed in here and kids not at school so no bargain hunting for me today. Waiting for boots 75% off sale which I think starts 13th so saving pennies for that. BTC X

Me too - just been on the phone to my Mum discussing what our targets are!

Liesauk - thanks for the code, delivery would have almost doubled the cost of my order

Ooo thanks for the reminders chaps.. I'm not going to join the 1p & 2p jar challenge as I won't be opening it at Christmas, but rather in time for the summer holidays but it has reminded me that I have some pennies in a jar already the I promised myself to start counting today.

I'll start that while I wait for DS2 to go to sleep (so I can have a peaceful bath)

here are my buys for today from lloyds pharmacy. I bought some bits in their sale last year and was impressed with my purchases so just had a look now and covered a few presents for christmas 2010 and some stocking fillers.

Gardening set x 2 - £3.51, originally £14 (Both for my Grandad's Christmas presents)
Make your own wand and tiara set - £0.75, originally £3 (stocking filler)
Lip Balm set - £2, originally £4 (stocking filler)
Perfume - £3, originally £6 (Present from DD2 to DD1)
Speedway Circuit - £4.50, originally £18 (Joint present for my friends boys)

They sound like great bargains :T. I'm trying to remember if my closest pharmacy is a Lloyds, unfortunately I don't think it is.

:beer:Hello everyone

Snow was very bad here (9inches) so i could not go to work (11miles away) but turns out the girls went in (we work in a nursery) and got sent home at 1pm as the kids parents started to come very early (panicking) that they wouldn't be able to pick them up later due to snow.

Hoping to go into work tomorrow , no work = no pay LOL.

Money is very short this month and due to be short next month (no more overtime as we are over staffed at work) so bit of a bummer.

I have a horrid cold which tonight has started annoying my asthma. I have been waking myself up in the night to drink water because my lips keep drying out and splitting quite badly despite good old vasilene lol. xx
