oh how adorable is rudolph monopoly!! definately keeping an eye on that here too

I love reading peoples lists too, but makes me panicky over how disorganised i am!

Having a dilemma about 2 of my girls -

the oldest is the most difficult to buy for, she will be 10 at christmas and due to large family has pretty much anything she could need! Last year she wanted a book and donation to charity - thoughtful, yes, but damn hard trying to bulk out the prezzie pile!!

my youngest is 3 (nearly 4 at xmas) and loves toy story and is asking for the toy story toys but they are just so expensive - buzz and woody alone are £50 :eek:

wish things were simple and i didn't stress about everything!

Gutted the lego friends calender isnt coming out my dd2 loves them!

love reading everyone's lists too! I will keep an eye out for any Toy Story toys for you in the sales and let you know, have you checked out the Disney Store sale? Im sure there are Toy Story items half price on there, I had a quick nosey at weekend and think there are clothes and toys - worth a looksee?

I find the best possible place for stocking fillers to pad out gifts is Hawkins Bazaar and Crafty Crocodile, I often buy stuff for DD (now 15) DS (12) and OH, you can get brilliant and hilarious quirky stuff

The buzz they sell in the disney store is £25, it has less phrases and actions but my 3 year old didnt know the difference last christmas!

Just pre-ordered the rudolph monopoly, it is covered by the price promise.


DS1 has finished school for the summer so we have spent the morning making Christmas teacher presents. I was given a Christmas cactus last year and it has got huge so we have taken 20 cuttings from it. this will cover teachers, dinner lady and caretaker at school if just under half of them take. Any extras that survive can be from DS1&2 to family.

They should all make it TBH, as they are so easy to take cuttings from.
