    I saw superscrimpers last night, even my dh who has no mse tendancies at all thought it was ridiculous. Cut down a 25ft tree from you garden but save by not having a fairy?!
    MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁
  • Yes, that was quite bizarre, bearing in mind all those baubles she already had on. Im sure she could find an ancesterol fairy from in the loft somewhere. If not, I can lend her quite a few the kids have made for me.

    Perhaps we could do a follow up "superscrimpers MFW style";

    Christmas decs dating back to DD1 preschool, including cotton wool snowmen and wooden peg fairys. (although my kids would be upset if there most recent creations weren't prominently displayed)

    Toilet rolls crackers (but not using "crepe paper" - sure we can be more MS than that plus gifts inside have got to be found or free.

    All christmas gifts must either have created cash back
    or been bought using a voucher of some form
    or from ebay proceeds

    Advent calender must be purchased for less than a £1 (Home B)
    or a reuseable version

    For dinner
    SP veggies
    SP yorkshire puds


    Come on folks, need help now....

    Come on folks, need help now....
    All Xmas cards and wrapping paper to come from 'stash' that is at least 3 years old, purchased in Jan sales.

    No additional lights on in room where Xmas tree is (to preserve the mood of course :rotfl:).

    Turkey carcass to be on for stock no more than 1 hour after end of dinner.

    Even better than that... we have a tree decoration my Dad made in school - rocking horse carved out of wood! And I have my great grandmothers tree baubles - sadly dwindling in numbers due a few breakages over the years.

    Congrats on passing your course HDK.:T

  • Thanks MRN.

    We had glass baubles once but then the cats (our big boy and his sister) as kittens dessimated them. I did everything but theyd fly up the inside of the tree and just swat them off. We are yet to see how well these kits behave with christmas decs and prezzies.
