I have been able to lend 20 pounds of my brother so tomorrow i will give my colleague a tenner then that's her paid , which gives me a tenner to last a week then next week my friend is giving me 25 pounds for the exercise bike , my friend who i owe 21 pounds to should be able to wait a good 1-2 weeks because I will just avoid seeing her lol. I only really see her once or twice a month anyway and she is not desperate for the money shes already said dont worry about it at the moment so phew. I can not wait until pay day I have devised a way that I can put my money in sections and hopefully make it last longer!

Went to Dunelm today and got my big bag of toy stuffing they had knocked 60p off (wow), but got some pictures which were 2.99 with 20% off, they are square ones and just the right size for the free cross stitch kits with the square mounts that you get on the front of the cross stich mags. I got about 20 mags with free kits on and the mags were 30p each from a charity shop, so that will be about £2.70 per present. Also got some metal plant holders which would hold 2 plants either side of the handle they were 49p, thought i could fill them with toiletries and wrap in cellophane or do a little gardening hamper with tools and gloves in one side and handcream and handwash in the other side. Thanks to the threads on here my organisational skills have improved 100% compared to last year.

welsh kaz,
bottle bags - in £shop 10 in a bag, all glittery colours.
matalan - has christmas post bobes (cardboard, two sizes, buy 2 get 2 free)

Also why not use cellophane and lots of ribbons, my friend gave me one wrapped like this at christmas and I thought it was beautiful, because I know the effort she put into it...

welshkaz

is there anywhere online you can get small amounts of cellophane rather than the huge rolls you get for florists etc my florist is really skingy and charges 50p a metre for the cellophane pretty but i know its expensive and also the card makers amongst you where do you start lol loads of questions i know sorry, and i love those bags made of strips of mags and sellotape their fab !

You can get cello quite cheaply off ebay, but then again you have to pay p+p, but if you're buying quite a bit it would be worth it.
