Me again.

[mamasma]

Hi lovely people.

I constantly come back here for advice as it's the only place I can get fair straight to the point advice

If anyone remembers me,my DH left me and DD etc etc anyway two weeks ago finally got myself back on my feet (not relying on the food bank every week).However I'm really panicking about Christmas.My DD is 5 and she's always had lots of presents at Christmas (pfb) etc this year I can't afford presents never mind a tree how do I explain that to a kid?how do you when she believes in Santa and thinks he's bringing her lots of presents and all her friends get the same!I don't want sympathy I want to know what to do to make this not as hard for DD.

Thanks everyone!

I was about to say if you're near me I can more than gladly hand you a bag of Unopened toys belong to my DD which otherwise were going straight to a collection at work.
I second the Works if you're near one. Absolutely brilliant for lovely novel stationery and little gifts and games. You could get a great haul for 15quid and wrap it up. Tesco do a tree for less than 6quid also.

B&q had cute little 3ft Christmas trees in today (green white or pink) for £6 also

I have one positive,Iv located last years elf on the shelf!!yes I know but I started two years ago and she loves it
