Morning all,
Not much Christmas prep but plenty of birthday prep happening here.Ive started on my OH's birthday [Sept] so far Ive bought him a hobbit related t shirt and a huge union jack mug.
I'm just waiting for my Sainsburys delivery as i was feeling a bit lazy this weekend and didn't want to brave the shops.
Batten down the hatches as there's another storm on the way early next week.

Morning, thought I had better pop on and say hi. I've been so busy working and with the kids, I don't seem to have time for anything else.
I'm feeling a bit meh with life just now. I need to do more for me, but never have time.

Hope you are all ok? Ill try and read back a bit x

Afternoon all, haven't been on for a while! but loads of Christmas prep done. I've been addicted to Pinterest and printed off some Christmas tags, cash/voucher envelopes and some bits and bobs to make some home made cards with. Birthdays are all sorted on the card front. Got stamps galore, wrapping paper is all sorted and Christmas cards...we have enough for a few years!! lol.

I am doing well with online surveys etc and have £45 of amazon vouchers so will keep an eye out for gifts for DD. She turns 5 in April but I have no clue what to get her. She's not really got any interests except football so I might see if I can find her a football kit or something. Hope everyone is ok in this horrible wind! it's supposed to get worse so keep wrapped warm and keep safe! xx

I have officially decided I am boring. :rotfl:

Although it's not my birthday until May, I thought I would have a look online as I can never find anything I need or want when the kids ask me. And I have found 2 things in their price range. A kettle and a toaster. :rotfl:

Today's quote

I was wondering if anyone has some good ideas for "wrapping" concert and theatre tickets. Its my daughters birthday in a few weeks and Ive bought her tickets for Ed Sheeran and Theatre tickets to see Wicked I can't come up with any good ideas to wrap them, I dont want to put them in a card or envelope as her other presents are also very small (a charm bracelet and some ds games)

Get a witches hat for the Wicked tickets and put them inside that?
Do they do posters of Ed Sheeran? Or a magazine with him in? Put the tickets with that inside a clip frame and wrap it? Sorry they're not great ideas. Brain is too tired this weekend...
