Thanks Pinknfluffy, the minecraft lego is a bit of a rip off I think but will hold it in mind should a great deal appear. I am seriously skint this week, DS broke his phone so ended up with an early Xmas pressie £50! Had another tenner off me for fuel which he lost in the living room and so needed another! Eeekkk I dont budget for £70 emergencies in a week! i dont think i will ever get straight! Still payday next week most of that is allocated (until I see payslip anyway) as I am away. Going to redo my money stuff/budgets this weekend, gotta do something!

I was going to make some reindeer and snowman chocolate bars this weekend but will wait a bit now I think, dont want to go over drawn for such little things. Does anyone use wibblywobbly eyes on theirs? :cool:

Evening everyone,

PEPPAPIG ah thankyou for that, i have calmed down now, well it did spook me but because noone was home i had to keep calm and deal with it, if the kids were here i would have gone in my bedroom and let them deal with it i have never heard that about mistletoe and i have a fresh bunch in my LR every year :eek:

PINKNFLUFFY omg i lurrrrrve the spiced orange mochas

WILLOWLOULOU oh what a week you have had :eek: hope it gets better and you will get there one day!

BTW i am well disappointed with the Good Housekeeping christmas issue £5 and it is just recipes that is it, and i only like some of them

Morning everyone,
Well im pleased to say I've found the Dalmatian print dressing gown for dd .

I have had my eye on a food steamer for a while but at £49-99 thought it was too expensive, my oh was on his emails last night when one from Argos came through and they have reduced it to £24-99 , ive got £10 in Nectar points so I will be only paying £14-99 for it :j . Its reserved to collect today.

My nephew and I are pretty close. I know I'm his favourite uncle :cool:

He has started to spend a lot of time on his Playstation. He was really active until 6 months ago but gaming is slowly taking over.

Any ideas on what I could get him for Christmas apart from the latest PS game?

I have been looking at some kites online. I was thinking of taking him away for the day for a catch up. I used love flying kites as a kid so hoping to get him into it too.

I just hope there isn't a snow storm in January. :eek:
