lovely pic strewth...
I'm the opposite with presents this year...everyone seems to want money or vouchers rather than gifts and for once I feel as if I am missing out on the whole buying experience,I know that money is preferred by a lot of my nieces and godchildren but I just want to do the girly shopping thing I think....
I have a few little bits to wrap for the boys and OH but even they are not having a main present this year as they all want to shop whilst on holiday in a few weeks time!frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

Thanks LEJC - not telling dh I posted his pic on here, he's not shy but stillI have done a few gift boxes for nephews and nieces this year. I got some gorgeous tatty teddy pjs from marksies I think last year for cheapo and some angry birds onsies from next down 75% so I have bought some slippers and a christmassy plate and cup set, also putting in some chocs and gift boxing so nice pressies for them I think
I think I would miss the challenge and pleasure I get from getting lovely pressies at a good price if I didn't have to
Last couple of bits I need includes whisky gifty thing for my dad...none cheap anywhere0 -

Excellent, clever, succinct, to the point, correct, did I say clever?
I thought it was probably a little over the top actually especially as I am not a regular on this thread - it is a bit annoying though when people take a moral position on others who are simply obeying the law.I think....0
