    Evening all,
    just out of interest how many pressies do you tend to get for your little ones? We sorted out the pressies tonight and actually put most of them under the tree, not as exciting as waiting til xmas eve and then seeing them all, but as my 2yr old hasn't touched the pressies and my 12yr old knows there is no santa, we decided to make it a bit easier this year...next year will be different. We still have main pressies to appear. But I feel that compared to others maybe I get a bit too much, I don't even want to admit how many they have, but then when you add up the small bits like pens and little bits.
    I think it must be because I never felt like I had much as a child (one of 6, plus I didn't have very good parents, but won't go into that sob story) and a combination of getting good prices on things throughout the year. I bought my brother and his gf the mr and mrs logo game, he loves the logo game and that was only £6 at amazon...bargain!!

    My kids are a lot older then yours but I still (probably) get too much.:o Some of their stuff is boring stuff - make up remover, cotton wool, nail files, shower stuff - you get the picture. I always got a years supply of 'basic girls stuff' for them when they left school and it just carried on. Last year I scaled down the 'boring' presents (because I thought that they were bored with them) and both my girls later told me how they missed these presents. Hadn't realised that neither had ever had to buy these basics because they had always had them as pressies. Wrapped up already for this year.;)

    You cant beat the 'boring' stuff. Loads of socks (all the same colour, saves having to sort them ;)) always come in handy as a stocking filler! {see what I did there?, Stocking/sock, blimey, im on form tonight:rotfl:} *sigh*

    Thanks for this

    I've been very jealous seeing some of the freebies folks get on Priority Moments

    Does it definitely work on this phone though? I thought it had to be a smartphone and I'm not sure if this is

    Cheers

    The easiest thing to do is download the moments app to your smartphone. When it asks for mob number, insert mobile no of the o2 sim. A code no will be sent to the phone which has the o2 sim in (ie the £5 Samsung one). Input this code into the app on the smart phone when it prompts you to. This is what i did for DH as he doesn't use moments :eek:, but I do - I have my moments on my Blackberry and his moments on my ipod touch :D.

    Well jeal from NI:rotfl::rotfl:
    i think it glitches in 6's against t,s 6 for £3
    so each one should compare A=60p t=50p making them 40p each as you really paid 50p each in sada . less 10%. not as good but worth it if you want them.

    I must say, this night shift seems to be getting earlier and earlier lately.
