Marking place! Ooooooo let the Christmas Shopping commence

That's the other one I considered olivo :) Ember joined us in town for birthday dinner and DD was cuddling her all night too.

Not sure if it's been mentioned already but I've got the Lego Ideas Book from thebookpeople - only £2.99! I'll wrap it up with some Lego boxes (probably a 'basic bricks', windows/doors, wheels and roof tiles)

Debenhams have got 50% off at the moment. Got some great stocking fillers etc inc loads of moshi monster bits for £ rather than £££!

How do you all keep track of what you've got? Spreadsheet? Wrap it all and put post-it notes on them? Forget?

Yes, I have a spreadsheet . But I love it!

I have had spreadsheets for Christmas presents for several years now...I just don't normally fill them in in June.

I am SO PROUD of myself. I am one of THOSE people now. One of those people who can say airily, "Oh, I did mine ages ago.' in mid November (husband's birthday...normally I start planning Christmas after that).

I just keep a list on the Notes section of my phone. We have a tiny family so there's not many people to keep track of - basically just DCs/DSCs and DH, plus a few grandparents.

Thanks just ordered the jewellery maker

I have an app on my phone that lets me record what I've bought and who for and tells me how much I've spent

I have it on Google docs so my DH can also update. I live in hope.... just kidding, he does actually shop for his family a fair bit, and my brother who shares his interests.

I just forget, but it's lovely to one a drawer in march and find something new for someone

Play-doh Swirling Shake Shop

Reeduced from £16.99 to £7.53 with free delivery. Theyre reduced in ELC at the moment but still around £13 in there.

Ok so just ordered 2 pashminas I may get burnt and they are crap
but lets cross our fingers.

Mothercare has reduced happyland sets to £2.50 & £4.00. They have also got good discounts on toys, clothes & footwear.

Lauren what is that app called? I could do with something like that.

I'd like to know too Lauren :)

DD has already decided what she wants to get DS for Xmas - a Fix it Felix outfit (from Wreck it Ralph). She also would like a dressing up dress herself as she has outgrown her Disney one (is 6 but very tall) any ideas please? Where is good for that kind of thing (will have a look in Disney store obv but it's £££ in there) :)

I bought my first present y'day from John Lewis; A nook e-reader for my grown up DD.

I always buy my cards/wrap in the Jan sales.

Fuzz, try Sainsburys for dressing up outfits, especially when have 25% off clothing. My girls have vast collection from there from Disney through to pirates and goldilocks! Big selection online as well. Bit on the small size though so I always buy size up. Good quality as well

Thanks mouse :) (and now I'm humming the windmill song thanks to your name - that takes me back!)

It's worth keeping an eye on Hot Uk Deals website and Money saving expert for bargains.

Boots have aome Odile and Fleu jewelry reduced. For example I got a £ 17necklace for three quid!

Right ladies I need help for my DD's 1st birthday. Suggestions please :) thanks in advance

Not sure if it's the same as Lauren's but there's an app called No More Socks which I think does the same thing. HTH

Actually, forget my last post - No More Socks doesn't seem to work on the iPad.

I'm currently using Quick Christmas List app and really like it.
