I had a panic that you had all gone silent and were hiding, something funny seems to have happened with my subscriptions and I'm not getting daily emails...but I've logged on to find you are all chatting as much as ever - yay!

Last night I sat and organised my xmas folder for 2010 and it feels great! I didn't quite get it done last year, but it is all set and ready to go with some info in already. Thank you guys!

Right, off to see what the heck has happened to my subs...

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

I hadn't realised that they accepted paypal as I've got £15 in mine, but I'm going to try and save it in case my other things sell and then I can buy some of the kids presents off Ebay.

Off to look at the list of stores that accept Paypal now, just in case I see something... should come in handy.

Ooops MSE is being weird and saying my message is too short?!

Thanks for the paypal list, that will come in handy;)

Been out and braved a trip shopping this morning, no bargins to be had really, lots of cards and wrapping paper etc... but already have more than enough.

Well I'm off to do a few jobs, then going to have some fun in the snow paints with the kids before they go back to school tomorrow:j:j:j

I've just been to Wilkinsons and bought wicker baskets for Christmas Hampers £2 each. Went to Debenhams and got a lovely handcare kit (handwash and handcream) in a pretty wire holder thingy you keep next to sink - reduced from £7.50 to £2.25 so bought 3.

I've also been to WHSmith. Crackers are reduced in there - £20 ones to £7.50 but there's a big sign saying they're half price. Well half £20 is not £7.50 so I asked the assistant if they were half the £7.50 then. I knew she would but she said no. Worth a try.:D

I've just phoned Next because my order of Daisy perfume (half price in sale) still hasn't arrived - they said they had run out of stock but will still honour it at half price when it comes in and my half price crackers i'm still waiting for are being kept on hold until then. :j

I'm just off to make some cards out of my kit DD1 bought me for Christmas.

Have a good afternoon everyone.

Hello all :j
More of the white stuff last night and today but the milkman made it -so did my young girl who hoovers bless her..........what would I do without her, especially after the mess I made taking decorations down.........lol:rotfl:

So, not much done today apart from creating a little gift box out of a cappucino box -covered it with easter paper and hopefully it'll be ok to pop in a flannel bunny with mini eggs.................just need to hope and pray my box standard hole puncher is sturdy enough to punch holes in the top for ribbon:rolleyes:
OH was going to pick me some more card up from craft shop but they were closed -expect she was snowed in, so MIL's cards for her box are at a standstill........for now anyway.

Stay warm and safe............careful on the snow and ice

Hi everyone i have spent the day converting a address book to a www. address book, I cant put photos on here yet but my blog in in the signature link if you want to look, i think they`d be great in hampers and as xmas presents. Co-ordinated of course

I purchased a address book at home bargains for 49p today, has rubbish covers(dont matter) but the inside is lovely
