    Haha, at Miss Hoodie. I went up the sales (just local) yesterday with YD, all I bought was next year's personal Christmas cards. Wanted to get wrapping paper too but sold out in card factory and didnt have time to look in Wilkinsons. YD got herself a nice dress to wear for New Years eve, was reduced to £18 in New Look and got to till and it had gone down even more to £10 so she was happy bunny.
  • can i thank everyone in this thread for helping make christmas more organised this year and a bit more mse, im already planning on being more organised next year and loook forward to playing a more active part in the thread by contributing more.

  • I got a 10m roll of Christmas wrapping paper in Waitrose on Saturday for £1.75. Good quality as well. They had other bargains but nothing I needed. My friend got one of those yard long boxes of Jaffa cakes for £2 (60 jaffa cakes in it).

  • Well, the cards have been taken down, the decorations are put away for another year and the to do list is ready. New tags will spring from the old cards and while I need some wrapping paper too, I'll see what final reductions there are later in the week. We've got quite a bit but another roll would be useful so I can wait. :)

    Happy New Year everyone and looking forward to a new year. :)
