Please can I join?

Went shopping with my friend today and was very good and only brought a couple of bits to help me get organised.

Will start serious shopping when I go back to work tomorrow and can nip out in my lunch breaks.

Oops. Did buy a Birthday pressie for Great nephew in Boots sale to add to 'pressie drawer'. Must start writing in my book else will forget like I did this year. (Though in defense had a terrible year because I lost my Dad)

I popped into the boots sale today, I was restricted with time so I didn't have a proper look.

I treated myself with some no 7 bits, not the best way to start but after the year I have had its well over due to treat myself and a fresh start for the new year!

I also picked up

Dancing queen survival kit £4
Big Match survival kit £4
Botanics cosmetic purse £4
Fresh cosmetics purse £3
HSM smoothie cup £2.50

So thats a good start to my storage of gifts for 2010. Do you all assign your gifts as soon as you buy them or just keep them in a drawer to choose from at the time?

I am hoping to go back to boots tomorrow to have another rummage as its my mums birthday on the 2nd Jan and my brothers birthday on the 2nd Feb.

I can add to my list today (i couldn't resist another peek into boots):
*No7 Protect&Perfect make up huge box thing half price to £30 (thats mam's bday sorted!)
*Really pretty manicure kit & make up bag down to £4
*FCUK make up kit, smellies & lip stuff down to £7
*Organics toiletry set (i love the bags with these) down to £4

I'm not gonna keep them all for christmas next year - not sure how long the toiletries will last - but have birthdays in jan, feb & may that all these can be used in.

God sales are great. Though it is a tad annoying when you go to a store to see everything you paid full price for that you've not managed to give to the person yet, is now half price lol. Oh well!!
