Hello Everyone i have only been posting for a few weeks, I could'nt resist joining on the christmas chats.:xmassmile
i have been driving my OH mad always on here when he wants the computer.:rotfl:
Im 27 (in a few weeks) I have two boys 6 and 18 months, stay at home mum but looking for work now with money being so tight.
Not looking as hard as a should because i would hate to have to work through christmas

:wave: Hello! I am another new one to this board. I have been a MSE member a while and have had a look at this board but am getting very excited as we get closer. I have been collecting shop Christmas catalogues and love sitting down to have a look at them.
I have a DD (5) and a DS(3) so am really looking forward to their reactions again to Christmas.
Unfortunately, I work shifts and will prob have to work this Christmas as I had last year off. I am dreading it already!

Looking forward to sharing all your ideas - loving the basket/hamper stuff. Have my baskets bought and my roll of cellophane arrived today from ebay!

Thanks!
