    Welcome to the newbies, I've added you to the list, we are up to 50 so far :santa2:

    Some of your savings are pretty good going already :T

    I had a wrapping session yesterday afternoon, all now done, phew!

    Hubby and I haven't bought anything for each other this year, we were going to go shopping at the weekend but he hasn't been very well and I came down with a bit of lurgy and just wanted to sleep :( doesn't help that neither of us had decided what we'd like until the middle of last week! We'll buy our gifts for each other this weekend :)

    Despite saving for Christmas last year and going shopping, I've not felt quite as organised this year, saying that all food and drink has been purchased and gifts bought, I just feel a bit scatty, which I'm putting down to my age!

    Merry Christmas x
