Wow need to catch up on 6 pages!! I'm going to have a look in the sales on Monday I think just for something to do!

On Thursday night at about 11.30 my bf took our dog into the back garden as usual and waited outside with her he heard a noise down the back (woods & cannel) so he shouted her to come in thinking it would be a fox etc and it ended up being her as she had dug a hole and got out so we ended up looking down the backfir about an hour for the dog!! Bf's aunt and uncle who live next door also came out! Thy ended up leaving me down the back on my own while bf and his aunt went to look somewhere else and his uncle went to look round the shops across the road!! I heard her jumping in the garden table so ran back round to front to get in shouted her and she came running through the hole with tail wagging diving about!! (She's 3 but a staff and is veryuch like a puppy!!) so phoned bf to come back etc!! Was not impressed she now has to go out on her expanding lead?? Until the ground isn't as went so we can fill hole in!! Then yesterday's sister and her bf came down and went to see them picked my little brother up ( he's 3) and have done my back in agen so at the moment I'm in pain and bent over but trying to move as much a possible haha!!

Anyways I have reserved a few things in Argos for next Xmas and set up a notebook on my new tablet (Samsung galaxy note) for next Xmas with who I need to buy for and what I need to buy for them!! I'm trying to make it as mse as possible as me and bf are trying to save up so in the next few weeks I plan on sorting all our stuff out and de cluttering so e-baying a lot hopefully!! We are also going to quit smoking and try and get healthy again as since his mum moved I with hos aunt we have ate rubbish!! His mum is also moving back new year and she wants me to help her sort all her stuff out for eBay / tip and stick it on eBay for her!!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend I'm now off too catch up

Thanks very much. Didn't make it to Poundland today. Did go in the 99p shop but they didn't have anything there. Will definitely try Poundland next time I'm in town. I did manage to pick up a T-shirt in Sport World reduced to £2.99. She'll be 7 so jigsaws are also a good idea.

primark had a few things in before christmas you might be lucky to find in the sale?

Hi all.
omg this thread moves so fast, having trouble keeping up, but have just skimmed over, well excited to see a few of you have a fitbit, i received one for Christmas, and loving seeing all my stats. Still trying to work out how to use it properly so any advise greatfully received. Hope you don't mind weeclick will add you as a friend via your link. Not had a chance to get to the sales yet, as had mil staying over Christmas, only went home today, and she has worn me out lol. (however she is 80 and we did take her ten pin bowling, and much to our surprise, she managed to bowl very well, so glad we included her now.

Please do!! Love logging on everyday seeing how well friends of got on and usually makes me walk more so I move up the leaderboard so you would be really helping me out

Had a day out in Glasgow today, went for lunch in Wetherspoons then had a wander round the shops, hubby got new trainers in the sales.

Still wet and miserable here.

Going to try to put money away each week to buy everything for Christmas 2013, also hoping that there is a 75% boots sale.

shewholovesherfamily

I love the boots 75% sale, just hope i can get the time of work to attend, usually a start to my xmas shopping.

Evening everyone,
NANAMIA - I hope your DSIL is feeling a bit better today!
CHRISSYG - That message was awful, im glad they have gone!
SNUGGLEBUNNY - I am exactly the same when it comes to workmen in the house, xmas day i could hear water gushing under my kitchen floor, it sounds the same as a problem we had a couple of years ago, burst watermain, but my husband was around then and dealt with it, now i have to deal with it on my own, i am dreading it.
OMO - I am exactly the same, the amount of food i still have left or untouched, and i felt like i had really cut down, i am going to have to be really tough next year (the stupid thing is i buy lots of snacks in case anyone turns up, but there is a cat in hells chance anyone will) it is ridiculous and i am really mad with myself!
HELLO to all the newbies (i am still one)
HUGS to everyone who needs one.

Thanks Amey, I got some too, for the Choc Hampers.
Were they in the second isle, top shelve ?

They were indeed! I've not bought any yet am thinking I might do and make some little Lushie Hampers up we know a couple of people who have had abit of a rough time of it lately and I think it will cheer them up and look great too, might think about doing some as gifts to sell maybe just to you lovelies though

Once I have mine and DS's up and running on tues can we exchange links too? I see you are in Hampshire too so we will probably know if the other is fibbing by saying we can't go out because there is a storm or something :rotfl:
