Happy birthday from me too!!

I'm just trying to think of a Xmas present for Natasha - all I've got her so far is one of those little drum things that lights up when you roll it or hit it. I'm not spending very much on her, but I've only spent £5 so far...lol!

we got it for Ash's first christmas (she was about 9 months) and both the girls love it so I couldn't recommend it highly enough...

Oddly enough I did the bulk of my shopping today!

I budget about £250 that's for both sets of parents, DH daughter, her half sister, our nephew and a couple of close friends.

I also - get this troll - BUY FOR MY DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and my best mate's dogs. They know it's Christmas and know that mum has left them something under the tree.

Also my dogs also get presents from my inlaws and my parents............just hope my mum doesn't buy some stupid pink doggy tutu or similar....:o

This year food wise will be eating at my parents and then we host Boxing Day cold meat and chips............with vast quantities of wine!!!!

Hi i_a,

I intend to keep my spending of 'cash' to about £250 for pressies, food etc. etc.

I also have about £70 in M&S &more loyalty vouchers which I will use for food, I have £12 of Boots vouchers and 4,200 points on my nectar card, which I will also probably use for food.

Over £320 seems ridiculous :eek: :eek: , so I'll try and cut my 'cash' spending somehow?

Spend your Debenhams vouchers in about four weeks time! It's Christmas spectacular. Everything at least 10% off :money:

thanks gemmzie hadn't realised that. I'm off to Lakeside tomorrow to do a bit of shopping but i'm completely clueless as to what i want to get folk so may just look for wedding shoes and undies.

My two have both adored this toy - we got it for Sophia's first birthday (or possibly as her naming day pressie - can't remember) and she loved it, then William has as well

Fabby.
