Hey all

Just a quick update from me - Ive had a relatively quiet weekend.
Friday was a spend day - got a Xmas pressie - only got one left to get.
I want to declare yesterday number 2 and today as Number 3!!!!

I could do with some help from you lovely peeps out there anyway! I have to get a secret Santa gift for a guy at work but I don't really know him. We have a limit of £10. He is between 35-45 years old but that's about it! I'm guessing that's his age range coz I've no idea - he's not in my department. I can't ask anyone at work as we all involved and they would know who ive got... Any suggestions apart from booze - I seem to get it for every male!!!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! X

Well another one corralled today :j:j:j, this takes me to 4 and 4 in a row! As I am not planning on going out tomorrow I reckon I can get my 5 in a row sorted then

(Sound of distant whine overhead, getting progressively louder. People out in the streets turn and look upwards to see where it is coming from. Igor stops, mid-stir, over a giant vat of Mamma Igoretta's Christmas pudding mix which continues to boil and fester, despite not being anywhere near a stove. He has heard that noise before - it can only mean one thing.)

Wheeeeee---eeeeewww----kerrrplunkkk! Number 1 NSD landed safely in the bag!

Nargle your posts never fail to make me :rotfl:

Sorry I've been a bit awol this month, been a busy one so far. Work xmas do was on Thurs and had to get my brows done and buy some tights so I didn't have legs like frozen turkey so not a good start to the month, Fri I wasn't quite feeling with it to make sarnies so made a rare purchase from a well known bakers - couldn't even tell you the last time I bought a sarnie for lunch - brie, bacon and cranberry - was very nice I must say.

However, back on the wagon yesterday. Took a couple of items back to Primarni and then picked up a couple of bits in Tacto - BUT Tacto shopping to come out of grocery budget, and it was less than my refund amount anyway so NSD on both counts. Been out today with DM and saw Bro, GF and niece (who is truly scrumptious) DM treated us to coffee and cake though and paid parking so NSD #2 for me :j

Xmas shopping tomorrow and have promised OH a McD's after as a reward so won't be one. Neither will Wed as I am taking DM out to the big smoke and the theatre for the day so trains etc will be on me as she copped it today. Getting there slowly though. Been offline for a few days though and OMG, so much to catch up on :eek:

Spent today as expected. I'm going to put aside the cash for daughters pre-school tonight so tomorrow can be a NSD... Is that cheating? I have to post some more items I sold on eBay (go me!) too but as bidders pay for postage that doesn't count!

Does it??

Hi myteeduck

Men of any age love gadgets, things they can play with, etc.

I've used the website below for my three older nephews this year (age range 28 to 34), hopefully you'll find something here

Hi pipersky

Nope, the first one isn't cheating at all, it's called being organised:D

And most of the peeps here don't count postage for ebay items so you're fine with that one as well:D

Still to get off the mark :eek: don't think I've ever been this long into the month without one!

Did manage to get DM's Christmas pressie tho':). Had a very flying trip to town this morning as it had just started to snow when I was leaving (has thankfully now stopped and most of it has disappeared).
