    i'm not really that christmassy either, no tree here, the odd christmas cards randomly round the living room with no real order. Just not feeling it.
    had a really quiet day today, which i really needed but which i feel pretty guilty about to be honest.

    I think the kids are feeling it too. Today the is the first day, that either DS has asked about where we are going to put up the tree. Normally they are asking in November:rotfl:

    I've put some baubles in a vase and put the christmas cards up but I think I'll leave it at that.

    Morning All, how is everyone?


    Right, extra hamper made - £15 to collect (could do with it to be honest)

    SS being grumpy as usual and had taken to using (albeit clean) washing up sponges in the shower (anyone else find this weird?)

    Still got a few presents to get, will need to make a list (need to check out the sub £5 list for some ideas for nieces and nephews)

    Would like something new for Christmas Day to wear (something that I can obviously wear again) but this will have to wait until pay day.

    Have lots of present wrapping to do and still haven't written neighbours christmas cards.

    Little update, the town was manic! Rushed about and only managed one shop during my break.

    Poundland has some fab gadgets. They have iTouch gloves which normally retail at £5.99-£9.99 (these are special gloves you can use with touchscreen phones) and notebook coolers.

    Got a few bits and pieces but still to get the nieces and nephews and Dad's stuff from Thorntons. Also my friend's pressie which I need before tomorrow night!

    washing up sponges? very weird, i hope they're not the ones with the green layer, but maybe they're just smaller versions of a normal sponge?

    i did some chrissy shopping for my bil in asda tonight, didn't have a clue what to get him which is pretty much the same each year. i've ended up with the usual, bacardi and jaffa cakes, will give him a voucher as well i guess.
