Ooooo I'm feeling very xmasy today I'm sat watching Xmas 24 wrapping presents with a hot chocolate!! I'm only wrapping them as I have nowhere to store them ATM so they are being wrapped and going to my mums over them weekend last year I left it till 23rd dec and was stuck wrapping presents from 12pm till about 2am as I had that many so if I do it in instalments it'll be all good

:j Being disorganised does work sometimes.:j


I bought some Tesco rewards vouchers off my Mums friend months ago, as she only uses them on normal food shopping.:eek:

I have been meaning to exchange them for ages, but kept thinking of it at work and forgetting when I got home.:o

So finally went on Tesco voucher site to order Prezzo and Cineworld vouchers for Christmas weekend away in Bury on the 23rd, to discover Cineworld have an offer on.
Meaning I had money leave over. So have added it to the Prezzo order. :j
This extra £2.50 is now £10 added to the £60 I thought I could get.
Hopefully this will cover the drinks, and the 4 of us will eat and drink for £17.50 plus pennies.:j:j

A friend who was two years older than I was told me when I was 8. My best friend believed til she was 13! My two SIL both have Downs and still believe at 25 and 31, so magical ! I just hope my nephews don't tell them when they stop believing (the eldest is 10 now...)

Not getting much crafting done trying to keep up with this thread, only 4 more pages to go I think :rotfl:

my foster sister who's 39 still believe in santa she has special needs as well , she still butt's a special drink and mince pie out and a carrot the raindeer as well:xmassign:

evening all!

Had great fun trying to play catch up with the thread all week in work and managed to grab some great bargains for the hampers along the way :beer:

Got the reindeer teddies in card factory, was surprised they were bigger than I imagined, such a good price and will really boost up the kids hampers!

Was in tescos tonight (and a different store yesterday afternoon) and no one has those selection boxes, now tried 3 stores so think Im out of luck!! The offer ends Sunday so unless they get more in tonights delivery.....however they were selling quality street boxes for bogof!

Also had a great time in M&S they have a good selection of smellies on bogohp so got a few more bits for the adult hampers and if you are lucky theyve got a few half price items which has really helped! Managed to make a saving of £11.80 in there alone! :T

Ive taken a photo of all the gifts ive bought so far and the families hampers total to £142 (8 adults 2 kids) still a few more things to get but think Im still on target for the £200 budget :j

Now to go catch up on the last few pages ...........

Hello A bit off topic, but my baby will be one on the 24th December-so xmas eve! Does anyone have any ideas on something I could make or buy for him, that will make his day special (I am worried xmas will take over if that makes sense). I am counting this xmas as his first-as we had a rough start to his real 1st one (my older son was in hospital for a week, then I was ill soon after giving birth so it went by in a fuzzy blur sadly).

We plan to have a family party/get together the weekend before the big day to make it special for him (and us). But not sure what special present I could have for him. I have already made both my boys a simple bag with their names on, but they're for xmas day.

Not sure if anyone can help? just sitting here wondering.....
