Hi, hope this helps:

http://www.thewhitecompany.com/clearance/the-little-white-company/

Seem to still be available at the moment.

P.S. I have just had an email from Voucher Codes offering a code for 15% off The White Company as well as free p&p. Too late for me and I don't know if you can use on Clearance items but worth a try. Can't post the code on here, apparently.

Spreadsheets are the way forward! I don't know if I should be ashamed or proud to admit that I have a very comprehensive Christmas spreadsheet - it currently has 13 tabs!! :o:o

Morning all!

Jeez, now I remember why I tend to stay away from other threads on MSE! the Valentines meal deal thread seems to be turning into a self righteous lecture about the fact the prices arent 'real' and blah blah (actually I just checked my M&S receipt against one from December and the prices are exactly the same in the meal deal before the offer!) Why do people think its ok to lecture others?! live and let live ... or !!!!!! off! Theres' always one who starts with the 'you are wasting your money' routing *rolls eyes* in my experience M&S meal deals are never a waste of money and they are a lovely treat!

Am very pleased with my Christmas pressie hunting this week, have got the DS game for DS along with a really nice Man Utd tracksuit top from their shop sale which I know he will be pleased with, and the JL thing for DD which is her favourite colour and I know she will be really pleased with that.

Need to start a spreadsheet, mine is a scribbled bit of paper! ;grin:

Own_My_Own

I have my Christmas/Birthday lists on here (pg5) in my phone and in my tablet. Do you think I need a spead sheet ? ( Just as a back-up, you understand).

And as for venturing out on to another thread, seriously, what did you expect ? After my Xmas day episode, I only pop out if I am in a bad mood, and am ready to give as good as I get. It's dog eat dog out there.:rotfl:

msgigglewick

I ordered a few pressies this week but not for xmas i don't think lol a sheep bag for dd4 to go with her easter egg, dd1 had the scribblenauts game as its one she asked for for xmas just gone and just ordered a fabric decorating set... depending when it comes will depend on who that if for.

Just been looking at prom dresses for dd1. she doesn't want the normal prom dress (like bridesmaids) shes looking at hell bunny dresses and rock chick style.. For someone so quiet she seems to be wanting to make quite a statement on her exit from her secondary education lol and good on her! Found one i shall order next week and see if it looks as nice on, then save up for the petticoat which costs nearly as much as the dress.

MsGigglewick Im in the same boat - my DD doesnt fancy a traditional prom dress so am looking too!

OMO oh I know! serves me right I think! xx

Yes I just use a standard Excel spreadsheet. I have different tabs for my own benefit as I find too much on one spreadsheet a bit confusing! I have ones such as ideas for presents, presents bought, hamper ideas, cost/budget, Christmas card list etc. You should definitely start one, I feel so much more on top of things with one.

OMO yes perhaps you should do a spreadsheet, just as a back up to the other two things of course......
