Something for my mum. - She's hinting at Gel nail kit.

Something for my B/Sil - Mid 30's. Want, need, room for nothing so something consumable or doable. Budget of up to £40. Any ideas anyone!!??

Wait rose delivery have some lovely hampers with money off. There's one which has wine, crisps, sweets in three black and white boxes in a stack, it's reduced from £60 to £30 and free delivery from £30. How about that and a DVD?

Oh man sooooo much

Hoping to make a giant raid on town on Saturday anad get the bulk of it - yy I know, shop online blah blah, but I find at Christmas nothing beats a look in Home Bargains and Wilkos for stocking essentials.

Need to get DD's camera, books for a couple of folk, a diary, calendar for Ds2, chocolate for him too, pants and socks etc etc.

Also need to make sure that other folk know what to get the DCs esp DS2 as if it is the wrong skateboard it will be a major disaster...

Haven't wrapped a thing. Hmmm must get on with that actually. At least I have written all my cards (not very many this year). I'm in a new job and busier than ever before in my life as my ironing pile attests

How have so many of you got so much food??? I have a tin of celebrations on offer in asda, ditto M&S biccies and that's all!

Oh yes I have made the cake.
