Anyways. Whist im watching Christmas movies, With a hot drink & MSE-ing, I'm writing my crimbo card list ready for writing tonight! Has anyone in their local area's noticed that their local post office is running short of stamps. Been to 2 places so far and neither of them had any 12 book of stamps?? Plus, I'm worrying & pulling my hair out as ive ordered a fair amount from amazon, And currently none of its arrived! It was due Fri gone and still haven't heard a thing...Starting to think i may well have been scammed....Will wait for a few extra days to see what the results going to be!

I work at S*perdrug and we always have them in the tills [never had a shift where we have run out]. And, we have 5% off them until Christmas eve, so it might be worth checking out your local branch.


I've not really done anything Christmas based lately. I tried Lidl for the Christmas pasta but they didn't have any, sadly. I've wrapped a couple more presents, as I am heading to the Birmingham Christmas Markets next weekend with a friend [I'm heading down, she is heading up, so we are swapping presents there]. I'm planning on leaving the rest of my wrapping until the first week of December, as after that my hours go up at work. I haven't bought an advent calendar yet - any suggestions on which to pick [noting that I am absolutely broke, no word of lie - depressing ]?

To all the knitters, I was going though all my saved links and found these. I can't even remember saving them. Must have been late at night.

Are you after a chocolate advent calendar? The pound shops are your best bet if you dont mind Kinnerton chocolate, otherwise Co-op are doing BOGOF on Cadburys Advent Calendars. £2.25 so work out £1.12 each if you need 2 or go halves with someone.

Just ordered my mums card from Tesco Cards using the 50% off code XMASOFFER (thanks to OP on grabbit) You can get a card from as little as 29p but I ended up getting a bigger one and paying £1.49 which didnt really save me any money :rotfl:but it is lovely. Spent ages thinking of a nice poem to write in it, I adore my mum so I do tend to get a bit soppy.

Just wanted to let you all know that I had a pm from will-be-debt-free this evening, and her dd is quite poorly and in hospital.
They all had a bug last week and her dd has not coped well with it.

I have sent her all our love and best wishes, in hoping her dd makes a full and speedy recovery.x

This thread is moving so fast! Loving all the Christmas cheer

So sorry to those having a rough time of it at the moment, keep your chin up and I hope things start to improve quickly.

Well our personalised photo Christmas cards arrived from Vista print yesterday - I know a lot of people complain about them, but I managed to get a photo calendar, 10 photo christmas cards, 1 address stamp, 250 business cards and a magnetic door business sign or £5.99 incl delivery! Plus the economy delivery is supposed to be 2 weeks but it arrived in just 1! I am logging on again to place a similar order as I think the calendars will make excellent Christmas presents

Yes Linky thank you so much. And my friend moneysavingmumofone I knew I hadn't dreamt it:) I did intend to make one but for that price it's not even worth getting the saw out! Unless of course I'm creating an heirloom xxx

Any of you lovelies got any spare healing vibes please direct them to my darling sister in law. Unfortunately she's really really poorly and fighting to stay alive in the ICU. She is such a sweetheart and loves Christmas. xxx

And Linky night night I've missed you xxx

am so sorry to hear that Nanamia thats awful, am thinking of you and of course your SIL, lots of love and healing vibes, please let us know how she is xxx
