Well myself and OH decided to put money aside, so instead of buying each other expensive presents, that we could have a wee break away together in New Year. We're heading off on Jan 26th for a long weekend - managed to get flights for £1!!!!!!!!

Other than that we're gonna fill a small stocking for each other with silly, inexpensive gifts, just to have something to open with dinner )

We did something similar except we bought a sideboard/dresser instead of a minibreak. Seemed better to do something big and constructive rather than buying little bits of clutter.

I've got a book about herbs and different presents you can make with them. I know that for sure because I bought if after my herbal course and told OH to put it away for me!!!
I did ask my sister for a muffin tray but I think she thought that I was being a bit of a sad old git so I expect I'll get something different!

weve spent a little on christmas presents for each other but the big plan is to go out in the sales and get a recipe book holder and a meat slicer so fairly os there i think

We've got a £10 budget on each other and with that an understanding that I will hit the shops in the January sales for some new kitchen equipment.

Mines not OS but is money saving in that I've asked for my family and DH to give me the money they would normally spend so I can use it in the sales. They dont understand why I would rather do it that way...........whats wrong with them??????

And DH and the kids are getting MS in that the things they will be getting from me were mostly bought in the jan sales last year of have been bought heavily discounted this year.

I've decided on a nice new coat from GAP - ok not very OS yet. However a friend of mine has a friends and family 30% discount that ends this weekend so guess where we're going! The coat's about £90 so that's £30 off - not bad eh!!! :j :j

Yup, on my christmas list:
microfibre mop
slow cooker
jumpers - this is os because it will help keep the heating down!
diary - to get myself more organised

My theory is that i'l never buy em for myself so would prefer someone elso to get em.

I've asked for money towards that posh Panasonic breadmaker, but the response I got was not good.

My mum gave me her breadmaker when we moved out, but I have no idea where's it gone. I claim it's in her loft, she claims it's in mine, blah blah blah.

So all I got was a load of earache really!
