During my ramblings for Dec challenge - one of the suggestions was a 1p and 2p sealed challenge.

I was thinking if we save tham from 1st Jan and open them New Years Eve - great way to finish the thread off. (thinking that it may go towards jan sales - even if it buys a packet of cards).

Put the names in here-
Miss Hoodie - my dd (as she has all my loose change)

Little Angels make your own wand and tiara £3 to 75p (ordered 2 for DD1 & DD2 xmas)

Some good bargains on there!

Have just done an order for BHS, but it wouldn't accept the free delivery code bhssnow for some reason :mad:

Anyway, i got 2 pair of slippers with foot creams etc for mum and sister at £6 each and 4 x lipgloss cupcakes for £2 each.

have to stop looking now until next week so I don't spend too much! :rotfl:

:jGot a text this morning from my manager saying it was too dangerous to travel so do not come into work :T day off lol. It was good of her though , the other girls have to go in as they live literally 5 minute walks away I live a 11 mile car drive a way...

My dad is set on going to work though my mum has begged him not too the roads are so dangerous and its taken over 30 minutes so far for him to just clear some ice/snow from the car. A man next door has been trying to get his car out of the snow since 8:00am its almost 11am now! I hope he realizes its a losing battle and leaves it. (he owns computer company) so its not like he has a big boss to answer to if he doesn't go in! xx

Glad you got lots of things in Tescos - what mugs did you get hon??? i'm so tempted to open my cappuccino mug mmmm but i'm going to leave it for now

I'm kinda wanting to get to the other 2 tescos in town and see what they have on sale... funny how they differ and they are only less than 5 mins away.

no bargains today, was busy doing some crafting today... made a nice little notelet box for my all year round recipe cards ( a whole different thread -sorry for going off track) and feeling really pleased with the lovely outcome albeit that I had to salvage it after making such a silly mistake on my lovely new piece of card....

Sounds like most of you found some fab bargains well done you

Hi Emmy

Thank you, now I know who it is, I got the last 2 tea mugs, and forget to say got the choc boxes, small size reduced to 64p, so my Uncle is having the mug and 2 boxes choc of dd for his bday (Feb), the other mug, thats going for mums friend off dd, her main present was Elle bag.. (sale glitch we got it 3 4 2), so the mug finishes it off.

Love the sound of the npotelets box, is it easy? Me and crafts unless its knitting doesn't mix....
pop a photo on, and instructions, the more ideas the better.

I did the BHS this morning, 1am... I keep odd hrs, and it took 3 attempts to get the code to got through.
Got the lipgloss cupcakes as well
Baileys fondue (for dd)
Ale - dad bday
HSM jacket £5.40 insread of £12 for dd
Red jersey prim style dress £4.60

Very plzed and they took paypal, my order came to £31.00, but had £14 in paypal, I returned a faulty item to a seller, he refunded me for the both items + postage (in profit!!), so came to £16.00

Big plan now for weekend is to start allocating prezzies b4 I hit Boots 75%and balance up what I've spent xx
