Just wanted to share that: I have finished my wrapping....woo hoo :j:j:j:j:j:j
I ended up getting DS some stocking fillers this morning- some fun boy type things (catapult, light up duck and so on!) and wrapped them all up and then put in a gift box together, so he might not realise it's more than one thing . His main presents are quite big boxed things, and I ended up using bike wrappers from Dealz. It seems we are finally depleting out never-ending wrapping supply, though there is enough left for DH to do his wrapping and we will get more in the sales!
I just typed more relplies to all of you, and it flippin' deleted....so will try to get time later on to write a more detailed reply....or at least edit this!

Morning, can anyone give me advice on Hollister sizing for girls, all the tees on Amazon say ladies/girls. I was looking to buy a tee for a slim 9 year old and a slim 11 hr old. I have googled and am none the wiser. Would a ladies small fit the 11 yr old? X


Edit- looking on Cafe press the Hollister girl hoody says a S fits 6-8, but the size chart says that's dress size 6-8 not age! I've seen small girls age 7-8 with small t shirts. I'm so confused

My daughter is almost 12 and we always buy xs size in hoodies and tshirts from hollister. I am a long time lurker by the way (i use to post but not for a long time) and thought I would help.

Yippee :j:j

Mum's and Dad's stockings are wrapped!
Dad is finished being wrapped minus a crate of beer and a pack of tobacco which I won't buy until Friday!

Just got Mum's to do will probably wrap Mum's over the next three evenings and then the last shopping food wise, is planned for Thursday (to use aldi voucher) and friday for everything else and then that will be it for us might just need some milk on Monday.

I am beginning to get excited despite the fact that the garland isn't up on the stairs yet and everything needs cleaning and I've got 2 Christmas Do's between now and Christmas.
Love and hugs to all xxx

just put the finishing touches to the scout party costume for DS2, i cut the bottom out of a giant gift bag adjusted the handles to make shoulder straps. ive tied balloons to it and wrapped some empty flat boxes to poke out around him then wrapped a panatone box but left the bottom open so he can wear it like a hat. Hes going as a gift bag just incase you wondered
just got to sort some food out now for him to take.

have wrapped DD2 and her families pressies this afty.
