Maybe you could make some extra things & sell them on eBay (as well as at some stalls) that way you'll hopefully raise some extra cash & buying the start up stuff will be worth it.

I was thinking of making a new facebook page to show people what I am making. Then inviting all my friends to like and share it, so their friends could see it.

I just don't know if you are allowed 2 facebook pages ?

I think I will have to get a second email address as well.

Will have to ask DS and DD, as they know more about it than me.

Oh I'm so jealous of you people that have finished . I know I will get there but have so many people to buy for I'm feeling a little worried . I have made some sweet tomato and apple chutney today to go,in dads cheese and wine hamper and I'm also going to make some chilli crackers to go in there too . Apart from the cheese ( various types) and wine can anyone think of anything else to go in ? :undecided

Mainly concentrating on the wine aspect here but what about http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Preserver-Air-Pump-Vacuum-Sealed-Wine-Bottle-Stopper-Apothecary-Liquor-Plug-bes-/150862109339?pt=UK_Babay_Baby_Feeding_Cups_Dishes_Cutlery_LE&hash=item2320151a9b

That's a very good idea! You can only have one account per email address but other than that you should be fine

Hi everyone, I'm loooooving this thread :j

I have most of my christmas shopping done now

I went up to the attic yesterday, where I keep my stash and I made a list of what I have and who it's for so I don't double up.

Dd's birthday is 2 weeks before christmas, so I buy her a load of stuff then decide which is for her birthday and which is for christmas.

I'm still waiting for a few things to be delivered from Amazon too. My Dd has Autism so although she's almost 8 years old she still likes toys and dvds for younger children.

Ds is 17 and his presents always look so measly compared to Dd's, even though they've still cost a lot.

Really looking forward to the big day now :j:j

Just seen the Argos toy exchange You take in a old toy they donate to barnardos and you recieve a £5 off voucher . Not sure how simple it is though surely they have to check quality of the toy etc and maybe it's £5 off when you spend a certain amount ? Sorry if someone has already posted this

Just rewound the advert It's if you spend £35 but it all helps and its nice to know the toys are for charity ⛄

I think you can use the £5 voucher when you spend £35 on toys..... I think
