Christmas pressies :) Just went to Asda for food shopping ( lots of coffee in case the snow does come ) and picked up 3 snazzy jazzy 'shopping' bags for £1.50 each in sale ...nice little stocking fillers or to fill with goodies :)

I did buy two rolls of wrapping paper and I usually buy some small gifts in the January sales.

I've bought half-price cards, wrapping paper and gift bags for next Christmas as I always do but I haven't even thought about gifts.

We bought Christmas wrapping paper, tags and toys for youngsters' birthdays today.
Also found a card shop was selling all their stock at vastly reduced prices as they are re-locating within the town, so we bought for many birthdays.
Included in the rolls of paper were some plainer ones suitable for birthdays.
We should be sorted for a while.

What a good idea, Rose!

I have a daughter in law who likes 'green' presents (in the useful, reusable way!) and a reusable shopping bag filled with goodies would please her very much!

Good for you Rose.......as long as yu don't follow me......

For the first time in January, I bought the family Christmas cards plus two boxes of really nice cards for this Christmas, plus had time to look around for stocking toys for the little Grandchildren......

....decorated.... moved everything about, and somehow they got put up in the loft......couldn't find them anywhere, so thought I had not bought them after all, and did it all again.....

......and you guessed......they turned up.......so they will have to do for Christmas 2010.......have to put a sticky note somewhere to remind me......daft bat!....
