New Thrifty Gifty - Organised for Christmas and all ocassions 2010- Santas Challenges

mrsow

hiya to everyone who is new, i love this thread as it really got me motivated last year.

mum2one i was very impressed with my lloyds order which I got last week, shame my amazon order which was dispatched the same day isnt here yet :mad: postie has informed me that the backlog theyve got at the local sorting office is huge.

My mam ordered some bits from the BHS sale (shes learning) they also came very quickly, she ordered the bathbombs stacked up like snowmen with little pink scarfs on and gave them to me for my pressie box there soooo cute I may just keep a pack for me

Hello all :j
You're all being so organised...........well today so am I :rotfl: just for a change and only for a bit................lol
Young girl came up to mop and hoover for me and it gave me the motivation to tidy up computer room (also gave her more carpet to hoover once I'd shifted a few boxes that I want to cover -they're now upstairs till my paper arrives (should have ordered more :eek:) Didn't do as much as I intended still I've made a start. Found one more box to re-cover and next thing is getting bags of stuff down to charity shops now the snows cleared.
Had a bit of a downfall last night but not as much as we expected thankfully.............hope it stays that way

Well the rain has started here and its pouring buckets, so thats me getting wet on the school run:rolleyes:

Have a few jobs to do around the house today but want to sort out my card box and see what i need for the rest of the year, and try and update my file as I'm a bit behind with what i have and need to allocate gifts i already have.

My Lloyds order came today, very happy, that's 6 pressies ticked off the list and I've earned enough on Dooyoo to cover the cost.:j

sarahf191979

Well done kelly on covering your costs with dooyoo....everyone is doing great:T:T

Very Quite on here today.....

elysia2003

Yes, it's been quiet the last few days!

I expect everyone is very busy trying dooyoo and other things.

I have just written another review, I finally think It's starting to become easier at last.

I do try and make them not boring to read but this last one was a bit longwinded. Oops.

Hello all :j
One of those days when I got out of bed and was so tired could have gone back there............:rolleyes:
No wonder it took me all my time to make mothers day card and sons Birthday card -his birthdays not till April but I wanted to play with some leather tags off some candles............:rotfl: Worked out quite good..........even OH was impressed.
Ordered some paper from Craft store and that came this morning................got enough of one patter to cover a box for birthday pressie or christmas...........so, think I'll be doing that tomorrow.
Did a little card sachet thing for stamps to go with writing box I did for son..............and thats it really.
Should have done more in the 'tidy up' line but..........oh what the heck...........there's always another day................:rotfl:

Went into town today with my eldest daughter and managed to find a nice t shirt for my Son for his birthday in Sports Direct so thats another present out of the way.

Brilliant Raven. :j

I had lots of parcels today too. Stig soap on a roap and stig pen for OH Top Gear hamper for his birthday - just waiting for his stig toothbrush and it's all done!!

Mom's foodie gift basket came - only £4.00 (should be £15) but quite large April's date so ok.

Mum's Christmas present came - Marc jacobs perfume in a beautiful gift set and box (much nicer than expected - i'd love to keep it myself ) that's for Christmas only £22 (should have been £45)

One Guinness gift tube has April's date so I will have to replace the bottle in that to give at Christmas (OH can have the short dated one in his hamper), but the Magners cider one's date ok to give step dad for fathers day.

I have three things left on ebay which I don't expect to sell as I have relisted them but had no watchers the first time, so i'll sort out the figures in a while and let you know my Grand total.
