Hi still reading but after being out most of the week have quite a lot to catch up on:eek:

I have ordered Dr Who monopoly for the boys who are huge fans (if not obsessed in ds1's case:D). moneysavingmumofone I told ds1 about the dr who craft fair you are going to and he said "oh can we go?" we live in the North East:rotfl:

I have ordered ds' pyjamas from next and a t shirt for ds2 from boden, both using money off vouchers. I usually leave their pyjamas till the last minute and then cant get any in their sizes.

I am doing an advent box and day 24 I make up a mini Christmas eve hamper with pyjamas, dvd and chocolates. I am really struggling to think of a Christmas DVD to put in. The boys are 12 and 14 so I need something a bit more grown up. Can any of you lovely people who know everything about anything Christmassy suggest a DVD.

Louise that advent calendar is gorgeous. I have treated my two to a thorntons calendar which I bought when they were doing their 5 for £20. this is another thing I usually leave till the last minute. every year ds1 asks for a thorntons calendar and I say they are too expensive, so he will be pleased

I am doing a craft fair on the 1st December:eek: I only found out about it 2 weeks ago. My friend told me about it and at first I said no
as there wasn't enough time to make stuff however she has managed to persuade me. I have never done a craft fair before so am extremely nervous

They're still in stock on Internet & they usually have them in store too.

OMO, you posted a little while ago with a website that had a lemon sugar hand scrub recipe on. Can you remember which website it was? I got the stuff to make some & thought I'd bookmarked the site but can't find it (& now can't find your post).

Elf is very funny, will ferrel is great (i'm sure it is will ferrel who plays buddy..doubting myself now!)

Fred claus is good too, there is also Bad santa but it has quite a lot of bad language in it and would probably be too old for your 12yr old

Had searched my old posts and found it. (well nearly)

Go to page 450 post 8996.

The link at the bottom is for the brown sugar scrub.

On that site, under that scrub, you will find the lemon scrub. x

ok - must stay away from Amazon. they have the UDraw for PS3 for £4.99 in black friday now. (also for Wii). Hard to believe a year ago they wanted £30 for it!!!!!!

yes they are on their site - I know they are a bit expensive but it can be used for a number of years.

I had a look about first though and got a code for money off and another for free delivery so I saved £10 or so.
