well done to all those on C:j well done to everyone else too:j you all seem so organised:j

I have sat and coloured in my images for my cards so will finsish them soon. I have also made some white chocolate and cranberry muffins. I haven't made them before so hope they will be nice

I need to finish off most of my handmade presents then START wrapping

I eventually got my i*s*s voucher and will have enough to redeem on S&S this week

I also redeemed on SB and T but they will be for January. I am 5 pence off redeeming on VO. so January will start off well

Savvy which day is your birthday? mine is on Friday...but too much else to think about:rotfl:

Cha - wow well done on c you are doing great wish mine was that high but i'm up to £39 so not too bad.

I wondered who'd nicked my thanks button and then I realised I'd been logged out - very strange.

Anyway - well done Emma - £39 is fab, I'm at £18.50 with two reviews to be counted tomorrow, and I've emailed them about my £7, so hopefully I should hit the £27 mark You're doing really well considering you work as well - I don't know how you are managing to keep up really. You work so hard.

Bunbun - fab redeems there hun. Isn't it always the way being just a few pence off? I'm waiting for 10p on VO and I'm only 13pts short on Maxi. Grrr.

Ohhh you're very good making all your Christmas cards - I managed 20 for the Elf thread, but haven't bought or made any more. I have a feeling they will be scribbled on Christmas Eve like last year. Oops.

Just another reminder if you, like me, still haven't done S&S. I should be able to redeem there again tomorrow too.

Morning all

Off out in a bit, got to post Dad's cards, I wrote them all out yesterday evening. I need to go to the post office so I am hoping there is not a great long queue. Then we are going over to Dad's and OH will leave me there and go to see his Mum and Dad for a bit.

I had a couple of surveys this morning and put another review on C. Be back later xx

Morning guys.

My C has gone up nearly £6 again overnight, and I got 4 added via product suggestions which will hopefully go on today. I am on a nice roll with that. I am going to do some wrapping now this morning when the little one is at nursery, then try and write some cards this afternoon. It would be lovely if I were nearly finished by the end of the week, and totally finished by them finishing school next monday.

Best of luck everyone.

hope everyone had a nice weekend
i got 2 of 3 hampers sorted yesterday , took so long to cover the boxes and shred the tissue paper but they look nice
just need to work out how to put the cellophane over the top
any ideas? if you put it over the top then stick underneath
do you use a hairdryer on it ?? or have i totally got the wrong end of the stick lol
waiting for some deliveries today so hopefully 1 will have a box for the last hamper
need to finish the cards and do some more wrapping

Don't get too stressed yet. Is the ebayer just trying it on? And the tree lights might only be one loose one. Not nice, but not the worst in the world. You will get it all sorted.


I managed to wrap quite a few pressies this morning, so I am feeling a bit better. I don't know where all the time does go, but I felt it was used well this morning. The sun is cheering me up too, as I've managed to get some washing outside to dry and have a little walk when picking DS2 up from nursery.

Will see what else I can get on with on c before picking up ds1. None of my reviews have been added yet, so might get one on now.
