    play.com more money spent, at least there was a discount code on there! Some more xmas presents sorted for the boys, at least I am not having to swipe my card because it'd be worn out by now :rotfl: I've never done this much Xmas shopping online before, it's quite good actually, so much less stress.

    DP in bed still so not venturing upstairs yet, will do when he gets up, until then more coffee and shopping :D trying to save what I can where I can, working quite well at the minute. Might try Debenhams next.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all, :hello:

    Finally managed to get some xmas shopping started last night, seems I timed it right as picked up one or two bits online with the debenhams sale and also at play.com not checked yet if all the entries are showing on the quidco team, but hopefully everything went through okay also today at some point going to have a look at wilkinsons as needing one or two bits for the house and we don't have a store nearby so somewhere different to shop will be good.

    [STRIKE]Clean baths, toilets and sinks[/STRIKE]
    Clear any clutter from desk

    Well got a bit done everywhere looks tidy (need to hoover through), have dejunked bottom on DH wardrobe, which will look better once the xmas present stash is out of their (as will mine). For a man who has no t-shirts I have just counted 25! Its just he chooses to wear the same 5:mad: .

    Have seen some outdoor xmas lights I want from wilkos so will run past DH later as I am not sure of the lengh we need and will hopefully place an order. May leave it to coincide with monthly shop and order my loo rolls, blades, stardrops;) smellies etc to bump the order up. Want a few art and crafty bits too for making decs with littles.

    Well best go get DD2 from nursery. Am waiting for my underbed storage thingies to come for littles room. They have got more playmoible stuff for xmas so need to rejig their toy storage around.

    Hiya
    How I love a bargain! I saw a fab car set when I went Christmas shopping on Sunday but it was £20 so I didn't bother getting it. Today I saw it in our local b&ms for £2.99! I got two as one will make a good present for a party. I am so glad I didn't buy the first one which I probably would have done pre MSE.

    Tonnes to do today:
    1) Working 12 till 2
    2) Sort bedroom
    3) Clean bathroom (don't need to do study as that DH's area).
    4) Hide presents i've bought this week
    5) Wrap birthday present and buy card for pick up time
    6) Walk dog

    That's it I think! Doesn't sound too bad when I write it down. Right, I won't be back until i've done it all!

    Speak later xx
    January budget
    Nothing left!
