Today I have submitted my big Mr. T Christmas order - toys for 3 children and presents for 11 others grand cost to me £4.85 :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j
So the only presents left are for my big two and I more or less know what I am getting just want to leave it until next week so that I don't have to pay for them until the end of Jan :money:
I am still trying to get amazon vouchers but it is so slowwwwwwwwwww so to give me motivation I have decided amazon vouchers and survey money will be my Kindle fund a treat for me although it could be some time yet
Hope everyone is coping with life

Wow! that's definitely a bargain! Vouchers are really slow, I keep getting screened out. I've started doing free bingo again, mainly so I can just keep it going in the background. So far I'm up £5!

I am alive but only just - the madness has abated slightly being a Vicar's wife this time of year is complete insanity :eek:
The miracle is that I am not too far behind on "our" Christmas most of the presents bought the rest will be today and most of what I have already got is wrapped and under the tree which is unheard of :T and the house is fairly tidy too :j
Added to the concoction was the fact that we were on standby for an 8 month old little girl but that doesn't seem to be happening now and also trying to arrange the postponed renewal of our wedding vows for Thursday and collecting OS from Cardiff
Finally met up with Shaun he only arrived 4 days latewith a very full van indeed hope things work out well for the family
Then I have to turn my thoughts to eldest twins 21st birthdays pressies mainly got but realised yesterday I need to think about cards and cakes:eek:
Moneywise not too shabby the CC has had a hammering but I have the money to clear it when the bill comes so all under control there don't think there will be much debt reduction but still on track to clear the final card the end of April
I have no chance of catching up with all my subscribed threads so sorry if I have missed anything major if you could all start new threads with a summary of your old one that would be most helpful :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: that made me laugh out loud!
I'm glad Shaun got to you - between the packing and his back, it all sounded very dodgy ...
I knew the absence from here was cos of all the vicar's wife duties ... I'm glad to hear things are going well on the cc front tho, and I *really* hope those renewal vows can take place, thats such a beautiful thing to do.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Thanks for the wishes for tomorrow I am really looking forward to it - I think I will be slightly more sober than I was on that night 30 years ago :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: well I had been to an office do prior to our first date and dutch courage and all that - the memory of smoking a cigar still haunts me and I didn't/don't smoke :eek:
We are having a small party after the event so have been and done the necessary food/drink shopping but decided this morning to rip up the carpet in the downstairs toilet to replace it with tiles as ys is not always spot on with his aimonly to discover that the floor is not level so a trip to the local DIY store and the purchase of some levelling screed means it is out of action but hopefully we will have beautifully retiled it before the party tomorrow - the only consolation the DIY store was very quiet who else would be starting a job so close to Christmas
Everything else seems to be under control so all is well in the DT household and I am surprisingly chilled
