Lucielle - I noticed when we had no oil from April to October that we got some damp too, teaching me that I do need to put it on every day even for a little while throughout the year.
Woo - I thought so too, but then I am worried they are 40+ with no children
Seriously concerned - I now have the gifts I bought yesterday wrapped. I am embarassed to confess I have enough wrapping and accessories to get me thru' two Christmas seasons. I will buy no moreLBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

we've got a bad damp problem as well, i have to run a dehumidifier overnight from October to March. Our biggest problem at the moment is that damp is coming in via the cavity and until upstairs mend the guttering/ boards etc it will continue to do so. Looks like we'll need a new gas cylindar next week as it's getting low tonight.
I've marginally survived the chrissy shopping, only two left to finish/start but i know what i'm planning to get. Got to try and go to Bookers tomorrow for cake baking stuff. Got to make lots and lots of cakes next friday for my OH's work's fund raiser. My sister and i seem to single handedly bake an entire table full of cakes.0 -
I think they will have a ball with Wii party, just what you need to burn off a few christmas calories.
You have the wrapping paper but i have enough cards to last at least 5 years and all my cards are written for this year, have even contemplated writing out next years so I dont send the same card LOLMARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

i've got a couple of years worth of cards as well, and i actually haven't bought any for 3 years! I'm sure i've got a good stock of wrapping paper as well but i did have to buy some in Oct to be sure i had some as i gave someone their pressy then to save on postage.0

LT - we have dehumidifer running in hall - there are massive cracks outside from last years snow/ice and of course we didn't fix them. Now its too wet but got our dehumidifer back last week and its still running!! Think we may have to get part of walls re-plastered, although fingers crossed it dries out ok. Oh the joys of an ancient house!!
Would you believe had to buy more paper - just ran out with two pressies left to wrap. Need cards I think but will check in decorations box as I am thinking I put the one's I didn't post last year in there! But I will buy up enough for next year (both paper and cards) in January sales.
Got the printer and actifryer for my mum and dad and got two more pressies. DH picked up a coat, which I will wrap and give back to him on Christmas Day!!!!
So from nothing I am left with two to buy, one of which is the Wii game and then just down to my sister and I am DONE!!! Very chuffed given that it is not December!LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
