Hi guys

hope I'm not to late to the party

I've always been quite organised Xmas shopping wise. My mum died when I was 12 so I always did the "family" shopping and my own shopping from then. I left home at 21 but the organisation stayed with me and if anything got more organised! usually I start xmas shopping in the summer July/August time. I tend to start by getting bits in the sale or on offer. Last year I started July, Id say about 80% of my gifts were "tip offs" from the Grabbit forum and these helped me out a massive deal. This year I've carried on the tradition of looking at the Grabbit page and buying bits as I go along. I got a few things in the boots 75% sale and a few items in the H&M sale. I also earned around £100 in swag bucks for items to buy on Amazon and Im doing the same again along side some opinion surveys as I want to earn Boots vouchers. I do valued opinions and Toluna for those. Any suggestions on other good survey places that do Boots vouchers (or Love to shop) will be great!

Thanks

And... :xmassign:

They are fab Susan!

Welcome along Sarah, I just jumped in hope you do to, sounds like your rather organised

Well my shopping trip for this evening

Been to Aldi tonight they had in some espresso sets 4 little cups and saucers dropped from £4.99 to £1.49 so I got a set for me and a set to put away for my mam and dad and will do a coffee and a non alcoholic hamper, they are tea total and I got 2 mugs down to 78p from £2 each at mr morrisons for snowman soup for the movie hamper

I also got some champagne flutes for me and now im toying with the idea of going to see if they have any more £3.49 to £1.98 and I could decorate them for my mam and dads present to, just because they dont drink the hard stuff they found a really nice non-alco one

needless to say Im quite pleased with myself tonight

still not bought the sweeties and my better half agreed haha because he said he would eat them to lmao!

Hi all

I have just caught up on the past 6 pages, I don't remember why I haven't been around, probably got side tracked with something.

hi again Pip's Mum, hello AJGray and SarahJ.

Sugarspun, hope everything is ok for your dad. Did you make anything in the week?

So our latest challenge is delayed as mum2one is on holiday is that right?

SugarSpun

Haven't made a thing yet, although the Fathers Day craft stuff is upstairs waiting for me. In an hour Little Miss's regular Sunday TV show starts, so I have 30 minutes to get upstairs, put a conditioner on my hair and a face mask on my face. After that and lunch we'll start the crafting, and I am hoping she'll have a snooze this afternoon too so I can finish the bits I don't think she can help with

Hi Sarah welcome, we`re not a fast moving board but your very welcome. As regards sites for l2s vouchers not at all sure, id like one with m&s . Rufus might know, when she comes along. I used to do sites but was very time consuming for me

Angela - your right mum2one off sunning herself somewhere, hope shes having a great time

sugarspun - good luck with the crafting, I was going to start today but have been diverted by OH laptop. It needs to be fixed and as I haven't got around to fixing his desktop butter pull my finger out lol


Great bargains aj, i'm on a no spend at the moment due to paying my balance for my holiday. I've seen loads of bargains so Im a bit gutted. Did pick up a pair of linen trousers at the next outlet reduced from £32 to £4...well it would be a shame to leave them wouldn't it...especially as OH paid
