junior_j love the pic of the snowperson and the dog in the snow. Ours just loves it, he wants to stand at the back door looking at it....

So funny, as in the summer!! should I say when its dry, and I let him out for a wee, I'd sit on the bench and he'd jump up and have a cuddle, became our seat... he keeps going towards it and expects his cuddle....

Been organised 2day and cut the xmas cards up ready for tags, started the 2010 xmas file...

Printed off the presents brought for last yr - no double ups

Budgeted for all this yrs - cut back, reduced and being tight - no money saving!!

Got the spreadsheets set up ready on computer.

Printed off copies of online orders - wrote the proper prices on - not allocateing till get the couple boxes from lost and all deieveries have come

Marks + Spencers - half order - got it
BHS - just 3 sets of lipglosses for presents - got it
Lloyds - On order
Halfcost - On order

bargains from Lloyds
inc the boys racetrack, reduced from £18 to £4.50 - cousins boy, best friends boy
got some nick nacks for others - so far saying in stock, keep fingers crossed


Got my BHS parcel today, was so exicted, dd looks absolutely gorgeous she had the red prom dress and HSM hoodie jacket, (she insisted on wearing both together!!).

Lip gloss sets for prezzies - they look so cute, but would not pay full price £6.00 for them

Got DD the Baileys fondue to start her bday prezzies off.

Half Cost -
Strayed onto half cost - got some more wrapping paper (a girl can never have enough)

was very tempted by these

3 tea light glass holder for £1.00 - buy one get one free, thought with a bit of the cello wrap, look more expensive - do for presents off dd.

After the discount, my order was £28, do for now.

Sundays Plans

Aim to brave the snow and go to Boots wed - see whats in the 75% sale, may have to go via home bargains - got one in town... have to have a peep.

Trying to be very good with money xx

Ok question - I have tried to edit the details.. but the search thing says click profile then financial then edit i do not have those options i can add or remove (but i can not remove the one on their because of the negative amount) x

The best bet is do it as an add card/details and then click that -those details are the ones you want to use for your main details.

My paypal account has about 4 cards registered, some are out of date, they don't seem to delete them. x

Those tealight holders are lovely. Wrap them in cello and put an organza ribbon around it, they'll look brill.

Junior - I'm sorry you're having trouble. I must admit I forgot to update my card too (I had a new card when it was stolen), so it happens to most of us at some point!

junior_j

Mum2one - You sound very busy yet organized! .:beer:

Elysia2003 - Im not even sure if thats the probably I added my card with the net details but its saying that i have already got a account with those details!

just worried/fed up with it all now!

Its still snowy/icey here I am so bored of being stuck in doors. But when you go outside its like a ice rink and your lucky to make it across the road on two feet! x

Hello all :j Feel a bit better today (I think -after going back to bed when I logged off yesterday and mad rush to the loo this morning !:eek:) Thank goodness I'd got some tablets in to stop it -I hope..............so far so good (I hope) Least I managed to stay up all day..........didn't do much except make some more cards so now MIL's card box is about full. Think I'll give her it for Mothers Day..............she's 90 this year so think she may be expecting something a bit more than a box of cards...........:rotfl:

Hiya! I think Mum2one is the one who runs this thread but we always welcome newcomers i too am incrediably unorganized but since starting this thread in Aug last year i have noticed i am better and keeping things in order.


I have been making home made slimming world items X

raven-333

thank you. i always make plans in my head at the start of the new year but it always goes wrong. this year i hope to change all that i hope.

raven - hello and welcome :j
As junior says mum2one is the 'organiser' and tries to keep us all as organised as possible.............not working with me at the minute I'm afraid.
Daren't go out in the snow for fear if slipping over so trying to sort myself out at home..............have to say not doing a very good job so far:rolleyes:
Not one to 'hit the sales' - always try and work on stuff coming from charity shops (unwanted gifts) and bits I've made..................so far zilch on both

I'm really pleased. I got £150.00 worth of pressies from Lloyds Pharmacy for £41.00 so free delivery included. Thats 3 birthday presents and 5 christmas presents ticked off the list. Thanks for motivating me because evreyone I know thinks I'm mad for getting organised for next christmas. Lol x x.:beer:
