How about snowman soup for the teachers, with a hand painted mug. I use Pebeo 150 paints and when baked in oven they are dishwasher safe.

This past week I have bought White Christmas, It's A Wonderful Life and Holiday Inn. They all arrived today/yesterday. The urge to watch them right now is overwhelming :rotfl:

HEY CHRISTMAS PEOPLE

Just wanted to give special thanks to kaymumof3 for the heads up on the £land bags. They are brilliant and 20 bags and ribbons per pack for £1 is amazing.

All this talk of snowman soup has reminded me I bought nice mugs when they were very cheap and they must be hiding in my garage. Must think of some teacher-related present I can do with them.

Arrgh, the grabit board is killing me this week! One idea for teacher presents, the portmeirion website have reduced lots of their seconds to £2. there are some 5" fruit salad bowls, one of those with some chocolates in might be nice wrapped in cellophane and a bow.

I wish we had a £1land here, the bags sound perfect.

Once a month I buy a £10 Waitrose gift voucher. You don't miss a tenner a month, but come 1st December it gives me £120 to spend on a really quality Christmas banquet. Some of their Christmas food is amazing.

Ive just bought a £40 lush voucher off ebay for £33.06. I always get my mum some lush goodies for christmas as she wouldn't buy them herself so thats a nice £7 and ive used paypal funds so almost feel like i have not paid at all! It will be great come december to go to lush and get some goodies for "free"

Rebel, I would do that if we had a near-by Waitroes, I do use some of my saved M&S vouchers for their food though.

I went into a charity shop this morning and picked up a book called perfect christmas for £1. It has over 1000 pictures in and includes recipes, gifts, decorations and lots of other ideas, i'm so tempted to have a go at some of the recipes so I will know which i like for christmas.

I like Waitrose but its too far away to go every week. I just about manage to get to Tesco

I been making some

spoils with chocolate

for the smallies today, I know its craft but its easy, and money saving, and organising. Have a job to know where to post now...:D

Not that I`m complaining mind.

I also been emptying the cuboards, I read on ebay a private seller can list 100 items a month for free if they start the listings at 99p. So I thought I`d give that a go. I`ll just do 10 a week to start off.

I`ll then use that money to buy saving stamps with that way I wont notice it coming out of the income because as we all know money is so tight these days.
