  • I have just got to put another £13 on my savings stamps, get hold of 7 more £2 coins to finish mums pot of gold then finish wrapping all presents and write a few cards. With the exception of the above, the only money I have to spend now is to get brandy butter (I know you can make it but only OH will eat this) and the veg for dinner (which will obviously be nearer the time). That leaves two whole pay packets just for me! :j
  • Im just playing the waiting game on xbox game releases at the moment. I hate having to check the price every day but it paid off last year as I saved £10 on the cheapest high st price on amazon by checking 3 times a day! Got a few vouchers to get for friends, Tesco ones I think Ill go for as most people have a tesco close and they might be grateful for a free dinner in January!

    I'm doing pretty well this year, got quite a lot of presents and food/drink put away thanks to lots of deals and haven't touched our Christmas savings yet! Lots of presents still to get but I need to find out what people want and some presents are not available for release yet! Also got a payment from Quidco of just over £100 coming this month along with quite a few vouchers I've received so that's an added boost! Just want to get it all bought now so I can get it wrapped and enjoy most of December!

    Have Bliss TV playing - have Slade singing Merry Xmas Everyone.

    Feel REALLY festive today, I can't believe how quick we're going! This time in a fortnight is the 1st December!

    Really need to get my finger out and get some Christmas activities organised for the run up to Christmas :)

    I know I'm pretty well organised and even have almost all the dinner stuff and a start into the food/drink shopping (and will have even more on Friday).... but I still can't stop thinking 'five weeeeeks! Won't make ittt!' because there's so much going on here before I can get stuff done :rotfl:

    And what makes it worse is I'm more organised this year than I ever have been!
