*The Holly and the Ivy* and the You Know What 2013 Chatter Thread.

Evening, that's great news about your job Princesskitty, I'm sure you will soon settle in.

I've also been collecting Amazon vouchers through topcashback, I have £70 sitting. Hopefully it will be more by Xmas (27 weeks today ) I'm annoyed that I forgot to click to topcashback when I bought DD's new bed and mattress from Argos. Realised when I clicked pay. X

nic I just changed mine into tesco vouchers. £21 worth. Going to use them on days out, so they are really worth £84.
I must admit I am always forgetting to use it. Must try harder to remember.

Princesskitty you would miss the people you work with if you lost your job as well. At least this give you some breathing space. Are you still going to be looking for different work in the coming year, as if you weren't there ?

Sadly it is out of my hands now. It's up to the MSE board. I have no idea why I can't do it, maybe it has something to do with the amount of posts the thread has. I have changed the title of other threads with no problems at all.

Lets hope they do it soon.

Happy belated birthday Ruth_honey! Your day sounded fabulous! What a good idea.:)


Well I found out yesterday that i'm now not being made redundant at the end of this month, they would like me to stay for another year so i'll eventually be made redundant in June 2014. It's working in a different department but they're really nice, and i'm happy that I have work for antoher year and don't have to go elsewhere just yet. Although come July it will be a very different building as lots of people are going at the end of this month. It's going to be tough to start with as i'll miss a lot of people, but hopefully i'll adjust after time.

Thank you! It was a lovely day. Had another chocolate-y day today too. My friend & I have been saving for ages to go to the Lush spa again. I had a treatment called The Comforter, which is a chocolate body scrub. The music made me smile as they have created a cd for each treatment. The first song was one from Charlie & the Chocolate factory! They also had Moon River on it, which is used in the Galaxy ad with Audrey Hepburn.

I like the sign you linked to. I have one that says "My house was clean last week. Sorry you missed it!"

Good news about your job. Left it short notice to tell you though! Two weeks left until the end of the month...I'd hate to be left hanging like that.

Hope all is well with everyone. Now my birthday is over, the countdown for Christmas has begun! Need to think about getting properly organised. :T

All this talk of chocolate is making me hungry! Your hamper sounds amazing OMO! How do you plan to present it?

I have been approached to donate to two foundations this week - CDH in memory of a friend of a friends daughter and a local gymnastics club that are having events. Plus a work colleague is leaving for maternity tomorrow so had to whip up something - all in all a very busy week, will post photo's as soon as I have time

I always forget to do my voucher earning bits - not enough hours in the day lol

Did an advent calendar & make your own card kits shop from Crafty Crocodile earlier this week & it arrived within 24hrs. It is full of great little toys & gifts plus craft stuff. All for £11. Thanks for the link.

Another gift day tomorrow - thank goodness I make my own or else this would have been a very expensive month!

A colleague is leaving for maternity leave tomorrow and I thought it fitting to make a gift for her daughter as well as her soon to be born son.
