    I just bought DH a Christmas Jumper :rotfl: He's going to love it. I was tempted to knit/crochet one myself but the yarn would have cost so much more.

    I have two birthday this month so have to slow down with the Christmas preps but reading all you're getting up to ;)

    Just been in b&m bargains, they had packs of 6 fabric pens for 99p, I got four sets, and am going to buy some plain tshirts and vests, think they will make good stocking fillers, but also have a couple of birthdays coming up...

    Time to find me again
  • Oh wow, I definitely need this! Like you say I always get to December and think 'hmm, I should have done some of this in advance'. I'm going to have a glass of vino tonight and write myself a big long Christmas to-do list. Pinterest, here I come!

    Don't think I'm ready to listen to Slade yet though. :rotfl:

    lol, I found myself singing "rockin' around the xmas tree" yesterday....whilst in the sun! hmmm......:(

    They were with the children's stationary. They aree in a sort of blister pack, not very big, and hung on those hooks they sometimes hang bags of sweeties from. I thought they were chunky crayons at first...

    Stopped at a stall this evening and bought some bargain punnets of goosegogs, strawberries and rhubarb so that's jam sorted for hampers, to add to the 4 jars of goosegog I made a few weeks ago. I already have xmas chutney and caramelised onion relish so once I've made a couple of marmalades that will be it with the jars.

    Hi

    Pinterest is like a big pinboard where people can pin all sorts of things they see on ter web that they want to buy, make or receipes, it is rather addictive! There were loads of Christmas crafty ideas last year and magic elf stuff on there.
