Ok well i gave up with the body shop. Wrote them an email saying i was v. unhappy with their online service....see what they say! Instead have put an order into tesco for £40 for 13 presents so equals about £3.07 for each person. feel very tight really lol but at same time we had told people we weren't buying for them anyway. I just feel awful turning up empty handed.!!

So i got :

3 Spa Bathing Tower £9.00
1 Spa Exfoliating Sugar Scrub £3.00
2 Sure Men V8 Bodyspray And Body Gel Christmas 2011 £5.00
2 Spa Shower Gel Collection £4.00
2 Adidas Ice Dive Duo Boxset £5.00
2 Baylis And Harding 3 Pce Mandarin And Grapefruit Gift Set £7.00
2 Baylis And Harding Spa Gift Set £7.00

Used a voucher i had left over so £2 off, but couldn'e find code for free delivery anywhere!

Thats 2 x sisters, 4 x bro's & sisters hubby's/ bf pressies! 3 x matron at ds1 school, mum in law and a couple of spares. I am going to go into store too to see if i can pick them up there, but i thought just in case they haven't got them i'll order online.....but i don't want delivery day to come and they turn up with nothing either if you see what i mean! so may go do that this afternoon as kids being very destructive and be good to get out the house !!!

:T I hope you got on better than i did with it lol i gave up and cancelled my order as it wasn't allowing me to use the discount code with stuff that was already on offer (and this was the only things i wanted grr)

I ended up cancelling my tesco order too :rotfl:i went into store and they were just stocking up :T i got 15 presents for £40 :j:j dare I say it but I *think* i may be finished shopping now apart from one secret santa i do every year still need to do this as just found out who my person is :T

Have been paid £411 from letting agency. For the tenant who never moved in :T Transferred some back to savings and left some in current account to pay for school pics & the gifts i bought yesterday from tesco :j

received my first £10 gift voucher in the post from survey companies this morning! This is to save for next year's xmas / birthday fund.

Also spent an hour faffing around last night with my scanner ( am so NOT technically minded!) so i could change my name on paypal to my married name (only taken 3 years :rotfl:) and this morning i transferred £25 out of there to my bank....hasn't hit there yet though so will keep an eye out for it over the next few days :beer:

Aiming to finish 10 sock monkeys by weekend. Have orders for 7 :j (although 4 were swapsys so i won't be receiving cash for those!) oh and another order this morning too so 8 :j:j

Need to start wrapping presents too. Otherwise they/ xmas will all creep up on me and dh is useless at wrapping!
