Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it

@SpamIAm
Thank you .
So a positive then ?
Hopefully by next Christmas Ds will have finished it ,. And frame it for me as my present ☺️☺️

I keep them on the top of my wardrobe but when there's a handful (not much space in the wardrobe!) i transfer to the loft. Have a massive bag up there that is gradually getting fuller and fuller!

@SpamIAm...
I got mine as well !
Fab offer .
Not sure on the onion bhaji snacks !
Might taste better with an evening of wine ,, instead of a cup of tea !

Thanks for the comments about storage...but do you wrap them before hiding them ?

[quote DoucheCanoe]@bizzey, I do diamond art at work (I'm care worker not pro diamond artist 😂) and can confirm that it takes a lot of organisation!

It's a bit like paint by numbers so you need to separate each colour, we use thread storage boxes from b&m, then dip the sticky stick thing in and place them in the teeny tiny grooves on the picture... It's really addictive once you get going [/quote]
Very helpful I’ve bought this for my daughter

@bizzey brilliant! I might get me one too at some point...

There’s some good make up boxes too, mac, nars etc for a bit more £35/40 ish but a really big saving on them and would be good presents too I think. Keep an eye as different boxes come in and out of stock but the espa candle one is a clear winner 😁

@Jedstre
Did you buy the Amazon one ?

No I don’t wrap the pressies before I store them. I probs won’t wrap until December then pop them back in the loft & will then have to transfer them to the garage before Xmas day. Our loft hatch is right by the kids room.
Thanks to whoever mentioned Katie loxton again. I’ve ordered my 15yo niece a faux fur scarf. Hope she likes it.

@Reastie it's nearly time for Cinnamon Bums

A massive thank you to the poster who recommended the craft seconds day. I've had little parcels arriving all week and they're all fabulous.

Also a massive thank you to the Snaffling pig idea. I sent my bil a beer brewing kit and he keeps sending me extra thank you messages🤣 absolute bargain for 7.50.

All these posts about where people are storing their presents makes me think I've completely over done it 🙈 I've got three towers of boxes in the garage. No way would that all fit under my bed 😂

@Squ1ggle

On the lookout for a football net for my soon to be 7yr old. I'm thinking more of a solid traditional type to leave outside rather than a pop up one. Has anyone seen any bargains or could recommend one?

@Squ1ggle as pp mentioned, we also got forza goal from this company, who have a sale on. I’d recommend getting the biggest you can and you should get many years out of it. www.networldsports.co.uk/football/football-goals.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw63nl8i78wIVkwDmCh0t4g3iEAAYAiAAEgIkBfD_BwE

@RJnomore1
It is due to arrive Sunday .
I can post pics then .

Wow , I can't believe I have only been on these threads for about a week ...
and I am nearly done ...
apart from the " impossible to buy for" ds3 (17).
Thank you everyone .

Yes, a panda one. About £5 so thought it was worth a try.

Jedstre
Same thinking re the cost .

I got Ds the 4 seasons tree .

I suppose I really should check my bank account tonight 🙁🙁😭😭

I’ve just been emailed this bargain from Tokyo laundry - men’s winter hoodie or over shirt jacket and then you can pick either slippers or boxers for 24.99 there’s also a code for 20% off - not sure if it stacks but you can also use topcashback for a little added extra

Not a goal but we have a rebounder for my footie mad 8 year old. It springs the ball back to them. I got one on ebay. Can link if anyone is interested:)

I accidentally drank a full bottle of my wine from wine52 last night. My head didn’t thank me today. Seemed a good idea at the time 🙈

I have had mine sitting in their box for a whole 4 hours now !
I am very proud of myself 😀😀

Was it nice ?

What ones did you get

Mine are stored in a couple of big Really Useful Boxes in the spare room... and the overflow is in cardboard boxes in the spare room and hidden in my wardrobe I don't wrap until December as I like a day of wrapping with Christmas songs playing to get me feeling festive.

If anyone sees the original cluedo for less than about £18 (Amazon's current price) will they give us a shout?
DS1 now decided he'd like to play it and is probably a bit old for the Junior version I think
