jemtom

thank you both chocolate and carla marie. talk about annoying someone has started another christmas 2011 thread so i was getting all confused and couldn't find this one. will look online this week for pens although wont be buying i am absolutely broke so that will now be next weeks job. today in asda managed to get a mini bowling game £1 and a hook over the door basket with ball £1.37 both reduced so they are going away for ds. yesterday got a make up bag with 2 zip bits and in the middle there was a pair of slippers and an eye mask so that will do for cousins make up was only a £1. thanks to whoever said about the estee lauder i signed up yesterday so hopefully will be something useful.

well done on your bargains jemtom, i've discovered Bee.com as mentioned in the grabit forum, lots of dvds from 2.99. got a few childrens ones for xmas presents. Also some great ones on amazon for just over a pound.
getting excited, only very worried if we get that horrendous freezing weather again like the last two years. i am already stocking up on hats and scarves.

I have ordered a roll of cellophane from ebay, aswell as some cellophane cones to do snowman soup. With the roll of cellophane going to make hampers and pots of gold, poundshop had the pots in three for a £1 so will be going for four packs soon! Im using them as table favours on xmas day x

i have just ordered the imaginext big foot monster for ds1 from tesco was £110 now £25. this was originally posted on the grabbit board a few days ago but id missed it :mad: but ive been checking everyday and they have some back in:T:T:T

i wanted to buy this for my son last year but couldnt justify the price on one toy but at £85 off it would be rude not to buy it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

heres the link to the toy if anyone wants to get one - but be quick theyll sell out quick again i reckon

Dont know if this will help anyone but Past Times have a good sale on at the minute - I bought a china mug covered in pictures of retro whisky labels for my Dad (I bought it for his birthday but it would be nice to put away for someone's pressie) also a lovely pink mug for Mum with a rose and 'Mother' on it - Mum;s mug was £1.80 from £6 and Dad's mug was £2.80 from £8! I've not even started thinking about Xmas yet - you lot are so organised!!

I thought I would pop on as I havent been on for a while.

Managed to pick up a Bakugan X box game from Amazon for £7 and some mens underpants from my nephew for a quid each which are ideal as he has asked for mainly money for Christmas but I wanted a few bits for him to open.

Have 8 people left to buy for but a bit stuck this year. Hopefully inspiration will come to me soon.
