Afternoon all,

Just popped on as I can't do much else at the moment.....
Having a new front door fitted, yay, just in time for the storm due tonight, so i'll be able to see if it's any good at stopping the wind blowing through me as it has been doing when I walk past to go up the stairs..... Also hoping it'll save a bit on the heating bill, not that I have it on that much anyway. :eek: It's more warm jumpers and blankets in this house. :money: Glad it's a decent afternoon here still, as the entire house is open to the elements. :cool:

Did a couple of shops down at A's with my sis yesterday for christmas and boxing day stuff. We did get most stuff fairly cheap but tried to aim one of the shops at getting an APG. Not entirely successful and could have been better, but got a voucher for 94p :rotfl:

Anyway, i'll post the 2 shops with all the comparisons for info in case anything is of any use to anyone.

Isn't it a lovely feeling - wrapping pressies and realising that the luxury paper only cost 18p.

Hope everyone is well...I've been busy with my to do list...just finished my hampers for mil and fil...just need the cellophane now:j


Bobbed into @ this morning looking for pjs... Noticed the chocolates and biscuits are starting to be reduced, the ones i noticed were..

Toblerone mixed assortment box £2
Party rings tin £2
Party rings little box 50p ( contains 4 packets)
Festive friends biscuits 50p
Mars and maltesers cuboid 50p

The white chocolate hollow owls were also £1...

Sorry if its old news...not enough time in the day to do everything let alone catch up...

Now, that is a very good idea - thanks nerfdad :beer: :beer: I did manage to find my address books so no excuse there, but my bed in now covered in pressies after emptying my stash, and I only buy for my sister/BiL, brother, niece/hubbie and their two girls :eek:
