well its been one of those days lol went to get some bits as my poundland had some nice smellies bought them spent about £40 on lots of bits and bobs for hampers etc hubby then went for a coffee whilst i took my daughter to look for a coat when we got home we realised that he had left the bags in the coffee shop!!

we then had to pick our son up so it was 40 minutes before we got back to the coffee shop we couldnt see the bags under the tables just as we were about to leave the lady at the til said that a lady had handed the bags in and that hubby had also left his wallet on the table the wallet was in the bags with everything in it including the £50 itunes card and £150 cash so our xmas shopping almost became very VERY expensive but thankfully that lovely lady handed it in

Really does any individual bear in mind the actual smarties jogging twigs? I'm sure anyone still get them with wilko's along with from seashore stores but they may be utilised to manufacture a huge santa sleigh. Appears admiring the actual choclolate sleighs but wondering how much time I'd personally ought to wait to generate all of them for everyone - DD can be 18mths.
But We've only awakened to the fact your lover commences gardening shop for just two afternoons every week next month i really may make several to be with her gardening shop staff members from The holiday season.

This reads as though it's come from a translation site.

Just wondering... where do money savers purchase Christmas cards?

Last year I got some packs of charity cards for £1 per pack off a stall on Skipton market. Obviously previous year's stock but lovely cards. I looked out for the same stall yesterday but all he had were the cards left over from last year, and selling at 2 packs for £1!!! I wasn't very keen on any of them though so no bargain cards this year unfortunately. Good job I still have quite a lot left from last year's haul!

chris I agree I've read it twice and can't make any sense of it. Lol

I'm hoping you lovely people can help inspire me. I have done nothing yet for Christmas and my preparations are normally well under way by now:eek: in my defence my brother has been visiting from Australia so I'm now planning on getting stuck in.
First job this morning is to look at the grabbit board, I got quite a few things from there last year.
I'm waiting for a knee replacement so can't trail around the shops this year, my shopping will be mainly on line. I will report back after my first purchase:D
