one week and I fully intend to do christmas.

[ditavonteesed]

I have this week off work and I intend to have christmas done, packed and put away by the end of it.

I have pordered finger lights for dd's stockings, will look for more ideas on here. Anyone know where I can get a nice cheap kalideascope. I have ordered me and dh wellies.

Don't know about the kaleidoscope, maybe sites like Tickseed?

If you'll be wrapping stuff, make sure you get a hidden space clear and clean now, so you don't end up stuffing things in any old how and ruining the paper...

I got my dc's kalidescopes from poundland.

Hawkins bazaar?

I saw kaleidoscopes in Tiger. They have all sorts of lovely things in there for not much money.
