    oooo tia I can see me getting nothing done now! I need to go through my pressie drawer/cupboard and see what I have got so far. I am usually organised and always have a list of names with what I have got for them in my bag. Last year I couldn't really be bothered after everything that had happened and I managed to wing it, this year has flown so quick I am still not properly organised, so I need to get my butt in gear.

    I just grabbed a couple of impulse body sprays BOGOF in tesco.. my oldest 2 girls like these so they'll make nice stocking fillers.. I usually get them a bag and do it like a gift basket.. wrap all the bits inside and then wrap the bag.. DD1 got a vanity case last year and it was full of books, bits of make up, smellies, etc.. she loved that. I am trying to do something similar for hubby this year but I'm finding it really hard to think what to put in it.

    Miss, miss can I have extra points???

    Just finished the list and dusted and tidied playroom and downstairs loo cleaned, just need to hoover when DS is up. Have been very good and done all downstairs windows (kitchen, patio doors, bay in dining room, bay in living room and playroom) inside and out! Took about 5 mins, used white vinegar and water in a spray - why i have I never used this before??!! So easy, wiped UPVC, front door and white wood thing for porch.

    So, cuppa made, DS still asleep, its his 1st birthday soon so need to sort him some pressies, will browse internet now. Want to decorate his playroom with bright wall pictures and something for windowsill as his presents (he'll get tons of toys from everyone else) anyone know where I get this kind of thing?
    Lightbulb moment 15th Feb 2007:doh: Now Debt Free and plan on it staying that way!

  • tracyg very impressed with the windows -mine are always all smeary - Ithought it was something that only proper housewives could do(which counts me out). What proportion of water and vinegar do you use?
    pigpen think you are mean with the flypoints!
