The Ultimate Hard and Fast debt clearing mission

I've never had any problem replying to the thread from my iPhone Tete, that's weird! Are you trying to use the quick answer box or coming onto the 'advanced' reply page? I only reply on the advanced page so I don't know if that'll make a difference or not.

You should be fine using your phone, Archers. I use the basic windows movie maker to edit mine and it does give you the option to save it in different qualities - one being HD. So you might be able to up it that way, just give it a try and mess about with it. But in WMM you can add in photos ect. Pretty straight forward!

Finally found a watch for OH for Christmas, I was meant to get him one for his birthday 7 months ago so it's taken me a while Plus it was only £26 with an extra 10% off. Also got him a pulp fiction tee and 'our' song on CD. Now I just need to not cave and wait until Christmas. But he has a face I can't say no to!

Sorry for giving you a bad thread name, Greenie I thought it was quite a sweet name!

Grrr lost my post again!
Thanks cinny and birdie, you are wise! Will have a play.

On grabbit there's an offer for £15 in your paypal for £5. You can't withdraw but can spend it online, just shame I didn't have it yesterday when I bought something from republic site which you can use paypal on.

Nah I only seem to be able to write in the title box Cinny

Archers, seems to have sold out

Sad faces all round!

It's bad that you have to plan your outfit around your lunch Tete!

Cinny, maybe your November and December goals can include 'Don't give OH any presents!' I'm terrible for it too; bought OH a Smarties chocolate pumpkin on Tuesday for Halloween and gave it to him straight away!

Are you planning on making Christmas presents for people this year Tete or are you chocheted out with all the baby blankets?!

Wow tete that scared me! I'm deffo not pg!!

Also birdie the only thing I can think is student discount? You might be able to use my number if you are allowed? Dinah do u have a nus card? I got one when I did an evening class once and it's only £11 I save loads by using mine yey!!!!

Dinah93

I didn't know you could get them for evening classes, I thought you had to be in full time education? Must look into that because it would be fab to get one - thanks!

Sorry Tink! At least we can't see each other on here so you know I'm not implying you're fat haha! So it's (was) just CMD, Flower and ... Archers? Star? So many lurkers appeared all at once I get confused

Thinking of some pretty crochet dishcloths for Grandma Birdie but that's about it. It's too much pressure and I often start things and wonder why I put myself through it! Not even making cards this year, got them in the January sales :money: Will probably do a bit of festive baking though.

What handmade gifts do you have in mind? Oooh, and do you have a link or any info on how to make a wheat bag - might have a go at a couple of them (I can't resist stressing myself out look!)

Also, there's a 10% DP discount when you sign up to the newsletter... Oh sorry that's only online and not worth it unless you can find a free delivery code...

Yes i confess I am currently the fattest person on this thread. Sorry

Tete_en_l'Air

About to drop a good stone imminently though aren't you? When are you due?

Birdie85

LOL Starnac, it's not fat, it's baby!

Thanks for that link Tete, annoyed now as I've signed up for the newsletter but they only send out the codes at 10am every morning so I've missed it for the day, the free delivery on orders over £40 is ending tonight... and I've got £47 of things in my shopping bag so I actually apply for the first time in my life! Is anyone else getting really annoyed with voucher sites declaring '25% off' then it turns out just to be talking about the normal sale stuff that applies to everyone?! Would someone else's student discount card work or do they check it?

Handmade gifts: I'm making flavoured vodkas (getting the vodka and boiled sweets tonight to start brewing!), pots of gold, thinking about making cufflinks by getting some cufflink blanks (???) then sticking either lego cubes or x-box controller buttons to them (I knew I kept the buttons from OH's broken controller for a reason!), making fancy Hotel Chocolat style chocolate blocks for everyone (using Cadbury's so it'll be nicer!), some jars of homemade spice rub and weekly wall planners. Considering making chilli jam but costs may outweigh benefits!

I'm making the wheat bags up as I go along TBH, just going to get MIL to make a little pouch, fill with pearl barley then sew it closed. I'm only saying pearl barley as I think that's what MIL uses, when OH hurt his knee she whipped him up a wheat bag by chucking half a bag of barley in a rugby sock! Trying to think of something smelly to put inside that isn't lavender though???
