    Hi, just back from JS and dont have to go back anymore so thats good news for me.

    Wingo - well done getting started with the Xmas shopping, you will probably win lots now. Did you win at Bingo?

    Lauren - welcome to the Inn and to comping and good luck. Always a good idea to get started early with the Xmas shopping. We have a budget for our as well as we are not on a pension. We also have 8 GK's. We usually try and do a bit more for them for their birthdays thank Xmas.

    Ellemm - thats a good idea of a Secret Santa for the adults.

    Alfie - I hear you have hail stones. We have had a lovely sunny but windy and cold day.

    firefly - I asked DH about the TV choice and he agrees with you.

    Fish pie for tea, just frozen ones with veg as I didn't think I would be around this early.



    SYL

    Hi sylv - pleased you are finished with JS :A

    Hail storm gone and would you believe the sun was shining after!!! Don't know what's going on with this weather!!!!

    Having cheese broc bake tonight with saute pots n peas n sweetcorn ...... thought I would push the boat out a wee bit!!!! :D

    My family and me now always stick to reasonable budget re xmas - still have loadsa fun and have a wonderful time opening pressies/xmas silly stockings xmas morn :D (all under certain price and many lovingly home made) - hate to think of financial worries for many leading up to xmas and when xmas is done and dusted and the bills come in :( It's not necessary but sadly many feel the pressure :( Kids always do fine and thoroughly enjoy :D

    Have to say - best present I got last year was a wee car from my lovely kids -they clubbed together and when they gave me the keys I was in tears, they gave it with love and to give me back my independence after a fairly tough few years. :T:T :A:A Def one off - back to basics this year!!!!! :D

    Now I really have to catch up with some comps and try n win sum wee bits for xmas!!! :rotfl::rotfl: xxxxxxx

    Glad you don't have to do any more JS Sylvia :) (unless you get called up again! :eek:) :p I don't mind the frozen fish pies either, delicious with new potatoes an sweetcorn :)
    We didn't win on bingo but had a few sweats!

    Welcome Lauren :wave: and belated congrats on your lil girl too :) I try to budget every year but I also try to enter as many comps as poss at the start of yr for Xmas pressies. This year though I haven't had many wins so nothing in. Hope you feel better soon xx

    Well done on your book win paadzer :j Every little helps I suppose :)

    Fire**fly, I haven't entered any dailies for a few days but will check out that one :) I love easy to enter comps!

    How is the lovely car Alfie? Sounds like you've done a fab job on the decorating front :A

    Been to Tesco shopping, it seemed more expensive this week for our usual stuff! Nothing in post today, hope tomorrows a luckier day for us all :)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!
