Secret santa query - Im just trying to choose my 3 Secret Santa gifts - is it allowed to be 50p over £10 or does it have to be under £10?
Thanks

i think 50p over is ok

Claros - I should think a up to a £1 or so is fine. I've gone a little bit over too.

Rufus - wow. What a fab job!!! Recovering the sofa and painting and decorating it all in a week - are you wonder woman?

Chel - I like the way you think. I do that to OH too.

Karoner - What a day! I hope the pay was worth the petrol money.

Can someone tell me to stay away from Amazon please? I've bought two things so far today and I wasn't buying any more presents. :eek:

Afternoon all, it really is all systems go isn't it. I feel so unorganised now!

Love the sofa rufus you are so talented!

I haven't founda single thing I want, the TV would have been nice but to be honest it's still a lot of money for a tv lol. Was hoping for some great deals but none as yet. Hubby already bought sainst row 3 and for what it is worth the headphones wouldn't justify the extra money for it either. Need something for my brothers though so keeping my eyes peeled.

Lol Chel, I like your style. Most of dd's things were bought with vouchers but he still wants to give me some money towards it. Can't complain it's a win win situation

Another non money making day here but dd is being a monster again, I feel so tired and exhausted. I feel like going to bed but can't until it's her bed time as hubs wont be back until late this evening.

STAY AWAY FROM AMAZON !!!!!

The gave me 50 euros extra to allow for the travelling so I think I will have used less than that - or rather I hope I have

That's good Karoner. It was worth it then.

Savvy - stick a DVD on for DD and sit and have a cuddle and a cuppa. It works a treat.

Chel - I bought the David Walliams 3 book set for DD2, as I bought her the latest one yesterday, and was going to buy these anyway, but at a later date. I also bought her a DS game - it was incorrectly labeled as a 3DS one, but when I've just gone to check, it's all ready to be dispatched so I can't cancel it now.

Michelle - Great knitting book review. I ordered a Cath Kidston knitting set for DD1 but it was quite basic. Your book would be something she could grow into, so to speak.

Afternoon guys.

Been a busy one here today. I never seem to stop. Got a crown on dooyoo for a book review. Shock horror, that rarely happens for books. I thought perhaps my calendar one I wrote last week, but no. Really funny how crowns work.

Chow ticking along really slowly. I have barely done any money making other than Cha, and putting in more hours than I should really. Once Christmas stuff is got, I am really going to have to alter how much time is going in, as I am not sure if long term it is such a good thing.

Rufus The sofa looks gorgeous. You are really talented, and it makes such a difference when you have that ability. It would have cost a fortune to have someone else do that for you.

Can't believe it is the 22nd already today. This month is going nowhere fast.

Afternoon everyone, I have had a lovely relaxing day today and the back is not so sore now as it was this morning. I am having another day off tomorrow as OH is taking me to my Dads for a while.

Thank you for all the lovely comments about the sofa, it has definitely saved us some money and fingers crossed now I might get my laptop for Xmas.

I have had a few surveys this afternoon to do. I have given up on the reviews for now, my mind isnt into it. I was going to redeem on C for my money so I dont forget at the end of the month but the page for my account is just hanging at the moment so I will have to try again tomorrow. I did manage a redeem for a £10 Am voucher on MS earlier.

Evening all,
Have had a nice day, have been working on Tabi's stocking and have done a piney today. Have also signed up for an ipsos survey where they monitor what sites I look at for 3 weeks and should get a £10 amazon voucher for my trouble. I also have another live chat on sport tonight, this time hockey, was a bit boring but got £10 for the last one so all these little bits certainly add up.

Well done on getting your Sofa done Rufus, very impressive.

Well done on your redeem Elysia, will join them I think tonight.

Hope you all have a nice evening.

Certainly getting close to Christmas now, might start work on my wrapping later so a few things less to do in December.
