  • hi,

    been and ordered few more bits from online sales - hmv and asda - cheap cds and dvds. so far everything that has been bought has cost a fraction of the original price so i'm happy.

  • hi,

    apart from his main gift (not sure what uet) i pretty much have all my eldest sons gifts. he has decided he likes skulls and i have got him some tops n jeans with skulls on, as well as skull bedding, gloves, socks, belt etc. most at half price or less!!! well pleased.

    not got much for either of the other boys, but some things are better than none. plus neither of them really like anything so cant buy anything in particular.

  • Everyone seems to be doing well. I decided to sit down and put together a rough budget per person so i know how much I need to get saving each week. Might hit the Boots sale tomorrow for a look but there isnt really much left that I would really need for people. Lots I would buy but decided to try and cut my budget slightly this year. My savings is doing okay. Think it was £180 which is a good start as we are only in January but we run outs from November to the following November.
