    Hi all - thanks :)

    Got one!! Went in when Sophia was at her dance class - so now I've got one for thurs - at 3.30 so I'll be running from my school to Soph's and then onto the drs! Should make it though. There weren't any other times I could make so I'm pleased I managed to get one.

    Transferred the last of the Christmas savings across last night and finished another 4 gifts today from Ethel Austin (so cheap and good bargains!) so am pleased about that. Only have about 5 more to sort and then done thank goodness! No money left! Have a debenhams gift card though so will have to get OH's pressie from there and any others I've forgotten.

    3 out of 5 in our department were off today so it was a little manic setting all the cover work, while also teaching our classes, but we did it! :) A few projects (ie work booklets and displays!!) are looking good now so feeling pleased :)

    going to try to get a little more sorted while I feel energetic - couldn't sleep at all last night so am going to try to go to bed early, but it never seems to happen.

    Hope all are good - so cold out today!

    Just seen on an advert Debenhams have 25% off sale for next three days if that's any use to you?

    You sound a bit more positive today. Hope you're feeling a bit better!

    Thanks :) I saw that too but the nearest one is in Preston and I can't really get there this week :( Ah well, I'm sure I'll still find bargains!

    I am feeling 100x better - which actually is rather alarming as I felt SO low - will talk it over with the dr.

    :) Sorry - shouldn't laugh but the fact you have no idea how you broke it made me giggle!

    They were actually much better face to face - I reckon they must get lots of arsey phone callers!

    Just been on the phone to my friend- bought her dd's christmas pressie today and it took all my strength not to tell her what i'd bought! That's the proble with being organised - now have to keep quiet about what I've bought! Arghhh. Hope we don't meet for a drink before Christmas or I'll end up telling her :)

    Off to bed soonish. Speak to you all soon!

    Hi Sea, sorry I've not posted for a while, I'm sorry you have been feeling so low but glad you've felt a bit better today.

    I know exactly what you mean about Xmas, I'm no-where near done and have no idea how I'm going to afford it all. Ah well, I'm sure we will manage!

    I hope your doctors appointment goes well. xxx

    Oh goodness - I'm actually enbarrassed about what i hae bought as I ban all products of this brand in my house lol!! I got 3 Bratz dolls for the price of 2 as well as a couple of half price cups and keyrings and the 'operation' game for my dd. I KNOW the Bratz dolls will be adored beyond belief - Sophia saw the brand through the bag and hten much kissing and hugging of the box was done - she wasn't v happy about the fact that the dolls were all for different children, not her! Bless!

    Got some more bit sto sell on ebya - I am going to try to list them tonight and fingers crossed they will get some bids - boring bits really! All helps though.

    Need to do next week's shop at Asda as they do the bird clock I'm going to get my mum for £10 which is half price wherever else I've seen it.

    Movie hampers are nearly all finished - jsut need some sweets and crisps (will get at asda next week). Also need to get cellophane. I'll post them up on the finished hampers board when done - I just hope they are liked!

    Hope all are well. Still feeling better - despite v little sleep - still can''t get to sleep and then DS woke up shouting the house down!
