freespirit66

Evening everyone, i have had a really productive day today as well as hampers finished, i wrapped the rest of DD1s presents and all of grandbeans presents (its so lovely wrapping toys and clothes with kiddie paper i havent done so for years ) i have sorted all the stocking presents and will start wrapping them tomorrow

PEPPAPIG aww thankyou, i dont think it is odd at all, if Santa wasnt real we wouldnt have christmas traditions yes that basket is lovely isnt it, i have never noticed them before but then i suppose if you arent looking for one you tend to just skim past them or like me shop in my own world ooh can we see a piccie of your elf door please?

NITNURSE ooh thankyou that might be easier to get to than WHSmith oh what a shame you cant pin on the board

BUZZYBEE hi and welcome to our thread

Gah, I'm full of the cold. Feel carp, but trying to soldier on and not show it, seeing I gave no sympathy to my OH when he had it last week


I have the Christmas Magazine to take to bed with me. I'm trying to find Christmas made easy, but its not in my local supermarkets. will need to try WH Smith.

It's late for me, but if I put the clocks back now, it's only 10pm

I'm loving all the Christmas themed makes!

You guys really are an inspiration

I've told DH I want Christmas buying (apart from presents to each other) done by the end of the month, as this year I refuse to get so panic/stressed/busy that I end up really ill over Christmas for the 3rd year in a row!

So now my lovelies I need some help! Does anyone know where I can find 1 litre glass storage jars from on the cheap? I need to find them for my brownies in a jar gifts, I have it in my head that Asda used to do them for a pound each, but I've searched the site to no avail

Feisty maybe try wilkos I got my jars from there but can't remember how big they were only a couple of pounds. I too wanma be finished by end of november apart from maybe bf. Means December can be full of fun xmas activities.
Nic hope you feel better soon!

How about looking at IKEA? http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50213546/

Feisty Fidget Do you not have any frugal friends that have saved their coffee jars? Douwe Egbert jars are great as they have a glass stopper type top on. If not, I would look in all the usual places….. Wilkos, B+M, Home Bargains, Poundland/ world.I will keep my eyes peeled.xx

Asda have these -

They did do them for £1 each a couple of years ago as I bought loads then, but I need more this year.
May have to do Ikea again!
