Sorry love, I meant as a pic to see if it was the right one.

I contacted the seller and they said at the minute they had no stock but to keep checking because it updates regularly!

Hello everyone! Loving the thread! I love Christmas and would like to plan ahead for Christmas this year as I spent so much money that I didn't realise last time!!

I've been doing online surveys every day to get vouchers which will go towards Christmas pressies

I bought all my Christmas cards and paper in the sale (probably enough to last me about 10 years! eek!) so that's saved me pennies!

I don't have to buy for many people, only my parents and bf really, and I haven't bought for my friends over the last few years (and vice versa!) but this year I'd like to give them a little something...maybe even make them something like a chutney?! I can't cook! But I need to find some ideas (hopefully freebie ones!) for them I need to get thinking thrifty!

Well Alja you've definitely come to the right place. Pull up a seat and I'll pop the kettle on:) mince pie anyone!

Thank you! I just can't wait! I love getting christmassy candles too when it's nearer to the time, whilst I sort things out..I have a couple of them stored away in my cupboard ready to pull out later in the year! cuppa sounds good! Think I shall grab one now and get planning xx

This thread has really got me in the mood for organising Christmas today! I've started writing a list of how I'm going to fund it etc. I already have a 'birthday gifts' box so I'll have to start a Christmas one I think! Very much looking forward to the shopping for bargains part now!

im loving how busy this thread is getting!

well today i picked up 4 'bakugan mobile assults' for ds1. these were priced at £9.97 each in tescos and reduced down to £2.25 each, so quite a saving there at just over 30quid :T

i also recieved the delivery of a 'JCB laptop' today for ds2, been feeling bad as its the first xmas present ive got him but got quite a few squirrelled away for the other two!

id bought ds2 a summer jacket from next which was too small so i took it back and they didnt have any in the bigger size. so instead of getting my money back i got the credit on a gift card which will help at xmas time if i keep adding to it. i always get the kids some new clothes to wear over the xmas period and theyre usually from next.
we also have a bit of a tradition on my mums birthday which is the back end of november, i always get her a dressing gown from next which she looks forward to, so the gift card may even go towards that. we've done this for the past 7 years and she still has 6 of them, in perfect condition! my sister managed to nab the other one.

right, im going to look for a new savings pot as ive decided to get the panto tickets next week :D:D
