I'm new ... Dunno whether to join in or not! Can't promise to be a regular poster. And the front page says to not bother if not posting regular. Only saw you a few weeks back when looking at crafting stuff

Sorry it's not meant seriously.

It's an ongoing joke. Once you leave the kingdom of Lurkdom your can't return.

You can post whenever you like !

Plan to have all cards written and posted by Dec 1st 2014. Bought a few family cards ready for next year and got all my wrap. Plan to start doing more surveys to get amazon voucher.
Hope you all had a fab time and all the poorly peps are getting better.

Going to mum and dads for tea with the rest of the family. I am cooking a leg of lamb at the mo to take with me and have to say it smells delicious.

Well, went shopping today and think I bought something for my nephew's birthday (November) next year: Walking with Dinosaurs box set from sainsburys for a fiver. Think he'll love it! Can always give it to him for Xmas if I find something else.

Also remembered I have my neice's 18th present bought: earrings from Goldsmiths which I purchased with vouchers from Mr T. Astounded I have started on 2014 already!

Sorry haven't read back. I hope everyone is OK.
I really must get my !!!! in gear. Bar walking the dog I haven't left the house in days.

Am looking for advice

Do any of you lovelies have any experience of ELC HappyLand ?
I have just ordered FM the funfair from ELC. It is £20 down from £60, and I was thinking about getting more bits through the year. ( Am hoping some of it goes in the sales).

But is it worth it ? It's sooo expensive. I'm looking at boy bits obviously. The Pirate ship, Police Station etc plus cars. I was also going to get the box that becomes a play mat.

Ds had no imagination so I have no idea what boys play with.

ds has lots of the fisherprice little people range which is very similar to happyland (i just prefer the little people range) and he loves it he had the fisher-Price Wheelies Loops 'n' Swoops Amusement Park you linked for xmas and has spent several hrs playing with it so far but word of warning the box is huge if you have to carry it.yes the ranges can be expensive but I've never paid full price for anything as its often on various offers throughout the yr but its great quality and stands up to the wear & tear of a energetic todder.

fiesty sorry you ended up ill over xmas but not suprising considering how stressful the last few wks have been hope your feeling better soon. no I dont think a £5/£10 budget is tight with a yr to plan you could get/create some great gifts for that.

pigpen bless dd shes soo cute
junior-j great bargain on the perfumes

Afternoon all ,
Ive manage to buy my parents gifts for next christmas and a lot of paper from M & S ,i will buy bits for oh & dd as i see them hopefully i can pick up some bits for dd at the Dr Who experience shop in April.
I m not brave enough to venture to the sales but we are going to Botany Bay tomorrow.
The dog has gone from bad to worse we had him back to the vets yesterday and he was limping badly but i didn't realise it wasn't the leg with the dodgy knee it was his other back leg ! The vet thinks he has damaged his cruciate ligament and if it doesn't heal they will have to operate on that leg first before they sort his knee out. He has meds and has to go back Jan 10th .

Oh no CHRISSY poor little mite, hope he gets sorted soon

Hi all, lurgy here too, keeping it in check with lems*p and whisky!! lol
littlies have been for new trainers at the local new b*l*nce factory shop, and daddy has taken gdd swimming. DGS1 is expected anytime and then the mayhem begins.
I have not ventured to the shops except a mildforay toAsd* on boxing day for milk and bread, but I havejust been online, and bought another greenhouse, small enough to be able to afford to heat it in spring and use as a propagation unit. Checked this morning and I have 1/2 a greenhouse all over th garden again, courtesy of our wonderful gale force winds.
Hope the lurgers recover, and that the sales improve, well done all you organised people, Cavalry cometh!

MRSINVISIBLE hope you feel better soon x
