    Had email from Halfcost this morning, doing their free delivery for over £10 again so had a look and found a winter coat for GD for £6.99, will do as her main present. Found a nice t shirt for YD and a card game for one of the GS's too. Very pleased about that lot if it all comes.

    I keep forgetting halfcost....sounds like some good bargains there

    mum2one - I broke my finger, something to do with a mallet, a tent peg and an awning....its more in the way than anything...lol

    been to home bargains today and got some olympic mascots, I love pride the lion...lol
    and OH bought me a dress, reduced from £99 to £69 then £39 with 20% off, just found the same one on line at £199 .00 , I got a bargain I think, and a size smaller too

    Hello all :j

    susan - hope the finger gets better soon. Amazing the difference something like that can make when you try and do something

    You're all very organises...........ashamed to say I'm still not :( Been going through a bit of a 'low ebb' but now have a counsellor doing home visits, can phone her anytime and hopefully that'll get me out of it.
    Really must start on pressies.

    Hope you're all ok:)
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Hi everyone, havent been on for a bit, had a terrible day Sunday at so called craft fair, wasnt advertised and no customers turned up. Only had one sale for £1.50.

    Had my parcel arrive today from half cost, really happy with it all, the coat for GD is lovely, she will like that and looks a proper winter coat. The t-shirt is nice too for YD and then a card game for one of the GS's. Bit more to cross off the list. Was checking my Amazon balance earlier and got £112 in there so that should buy a fair few bits and pieces. Next birthday is Dad's and he usually picks a dvd or cd for me to buy for him. The rest will go for Chistmas.
