    Morning all,

    Morning All,

    £30 for me please mandz. I am not feeling very well, as I am trying to lessen the impact of a CFS relapse, so a lot of time spent sleeping and feeling too sore to stand or eat properly :(. Luckily I finished my christmas shopping two weeks ago (I only brought presents for all the kids). I hope you are all having a better time :)

    Thanks kirstypoos, it's not an easy illness to manage is it? Seeing as our health fluctuates so much. I'm glad that I was made redundant and I'm able to have a little career break. But trying to find a decent part time job is proving more difficult than I thought :eek:!

    I always buy presents in the January and summer sales, or as and when offers are on, and then use them for birthdays throughout the year (especially as my son is a bit too popular and attends too many parties outside of my budget :rotfl:). I also allocate gifts for Christmas from the same gift stash that I have in my hallway cupboard.
