My BHS order came today, I'm so pleased with it!

The fine foods basket (same one Elysia2003 ordered ) is much bigger than I was expecting. A bargain at £4 instead of £15. The actual basket it's all in is lovely and as it's a gift for dh I know I'll be able to get the basket back to reuse!

The cake lip glosses are so cute, if a little smaller than I imagined. They are lovely to look at though and I know my niece will love them. Pleased with them for £2 but I wouldn't have paid the full price of £6. I'm tempted to 'accidentally' leave the £6 price sticker on when I give them :rotfl:

I also got the Magners tin and I'm ever so pleased with that too. It's big and chunky. It looks like a 'proper' present if you know what I mean? Doesn't look like a bit of nothing, it looks good quality. £2 instead of £10!

I only ordered it all on Wednesday night so I'm especially impressed it arrived today.

I thikn I might do a dooyoo review about Bhs now as I've got lots to say.

Well done Nicky - I know what you mean. Oh was impressed when her saw the big basket, and those drinks tubes.

I'm shattered tonight, I usually check my cof in the afternoon and then again of any evening to see if anyone has done any later. I'm tired tonight so I'll do them tomorrow now.

Good night everyone, and If you don't manage to make it on for any reason over the next couple of days - have a lovely weekend!

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:

You should of gone back to bed.... I have to confess I got up went back to bed, come down for dinner, then back to bed... I think got in my kidneys, so on antibiotics, which for the 1st couple days I'm a zombie....

My BHS order came yesterday too, thanks to this thread i did not miss out as i normally do. I too got the £4 hamper that is MIL's Mothers Day present sorted, one Magners set and one Guiness set, 2 of the vodka sets, and 2 of the lipgloss sets, also ordered the free microphone tshirt off Iffyton (well just you just pay the postage). Will give the guiness set and tshirt to my friends son for his birthday in May. Getting there slowly but surely.

Hi everyone just checking in. Doing really well with Dooyoo but finding it extremely time consuming, but it has paid for my christmas 2010 pressies so far. Got some brilliant bits in the M&S sale, so I have some great 'Let it snow' gift bags which I may give to the younger girls, lots of clothes for my DD including dress for her to wear on Christmas day :jand I also got a coat for my mum reduced from £79.00 to £9.00 so very pleased with that, going to be her Christmas present.

Started boxing up all the decs (I know I'm slow... just love the festivities!) and presents for this Christmas. Sorted through recycled gifts and am doing really well being money neutral.

I want to give ebay a go but I'm scared :rotfl:

I'm going out today to see if i can pick anything up left over from the sales.

elysia2003

Don't be scared about ebay Savvy. It's quite simple if you are already registered. That's the worst bit.:eek:

Have updated my signature for my challenges - ebay went quite well me thinks.

Dooyoo - I have trouble thinking what to write but when i do there's no stopping me! :rotfl:

Off out today to deliver all the Avon orders that should have been delivered last week but it was too dangerous in the ice. On my way around, I'll make sure I pick up my rubber gloves from the shop. :A
