    been to see my dad today and taken him his card and pressy. and ended up going with my mum and her friend to matalan again to do some more chrissy shopping.
    over the weekend we have finished:
    pressy for MIL
    half pressy for FIL
    pressy for Mr LT's great nephew
    pressy for Mr LT's great neice
    pressy for my mum
    pressy for my sister
    half pressy for my two nephews
    pressy for my two neices
    pressy for family friend who's staying over christmas
    pressy for Mr LT (well most of it)

    all that's left is:
    my dad's - he's getting massage vouchers
    rest of FIL - wallet
    rest of Mr LT - possibly massage vouchers
    BIL - booze??
    rest of two nephews - money
    friend - salt scrub
    hand knitted cardi for great neice half done
    hand knitted jumper for great nephew to finish
    father


    feels like we've almost finished yay! but then again we've got to take all Mr LT's family gifts with us when we visit in November so we had to get organised.

    back to work tomorrow though :(

    on a more serious note, still waiting for the requests for viewings to pour in.......

    Glad to hear that you had such a great day and got all your pressies nearly sorted. I don't have many people to buy for but I need to get organised. Intend to have all finished by end of November at the very very latest.

    Hope you get a viewer soon Lemon :)

    God bless

    thank you all.
    E i try not to spend too much on people for christmas because even though we only buy for immediate family Mr LT is one of 5 and although i only have one sister she's had 4 kids, i do have 4 parents though without the outlaws so that adds to the list as well.
    no news on the flat front but then it's a bit early yet (she hopes that's the only reason)
