Thanks. My auntie has got a few outfits and DD2 got the camping tent for her bday (when it was full price arghhhh).

DD1 today said she likes playing Lego at school so may add a Lego set each to their lists but not loads as we have Playmobil already and they're very similar.

First purchase ordered. Some accessories on eBay for the girls designer friends doll....come from overseas so ordered early. Only spent £8.

Updated with lists for DDs

Been looking around online and most things are on Amazon, Argos or Smyth's.

Think my plan is to start on girls first then family.

Great lists!

 

[mrsmummy2]

Great progress!

 

[c1403]

So I got an email from top cash back saying I had £44 in rewards. I always forgot to use them so thought it was wrong but I got £35 renewing home insurance via them.... whoooo

Not sure whether to use it to buy the girls gym mats from Ikea, they're £22 each or get it paid to Amazon and use it there.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Yay, that must have been a nice surprise!

 

[c1403]

Small update re Christmas in general then I'll update the lists. It's great to come on here and not have people say oh it's too early . Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the BnB grotto!! XXX

So to update....were decorating the living room next week. Got new sofa and dining table coming first week of December. Not changing our colour scheme but freshening up the walls and woodwork. Me and DH have Monday off whilst girls are at school.

I don't get paid until 26th roughly so until then Christmas shopping is on hold. I'm normally done by now but we've done so many things on the house. I've probably got about £110 to spend on the girls although they saw a huge TY beanie today in wilko and they're £20 each :-O

I've also got to finish DH. He just needs some whisky/rum and a massage voucher. I also need to get BIL some port but that can go on the food shop as he is coming Christmas eve. My family are all done. Got a bath set for my mum and dad from the girls and they've designed their own canvases with a Christmas drawing.

Got so many busy weekends planned too...23rd Ideal Home Show, 30th School Fair 1st Santa train, 7th Panto, 15th Christmas show.....all exciting.

I'll go update the lists now as they've changed.

Starting to feel excited now :-D

XxX

Santa Lists!

So I haven't got the girls to do their actual letter to santa yet. They always change their mind and DD2 asks for random crap. Think we should do them in a week or so though!

Hoping I can coax them into something I've already got.. usually santa brings most of what's on the list (3 items max) and they are unwrapped downstairs. Although if we do go with scalelxtric ans Barbie house they will be downstairs too.
Gifts from us if small enough go in their sacks they get upstairs plus any big items around the tree.

Will update with their letters when written.
