It's frustrating when it all comes at once but furniture is essential in a way. We got our sofa just before Christmas last year so it dented the budget a bit. My MOT is also due on 24th December eeek.

Nightmare isn’t it, 3 single beds, a double bed and a sofa is going to cripple us! Needs must and all that though lol x

It’s going to be difficult for my son because of his autism but we’re a forces family and unless covid stops it then this move is happening so I have to do the best I can do I guess x

that must be difficult as I assume that moves are a semi regular thing for you if that's the case.

Pretty much, this year everything is in a spin tho so who knows what’s going to happen x

great lists I need to start on my list and budget spreadsheet (I know )

I am also trying to buy less this year as they get so much and it just sits in the playroom and tbh now they are both at school they won't play with as much - I am going to try the

something they want
something they need
something to wear
something to read

and stocking fillers

Thank you, I’m trying to get there with xmas but with kids who change their minds easy it’s starting to turn into a challenge lol x

 

[monkee12]

I’ve decided to do Mini Hampers for the in laws, they have pretty much everything so it’s really hard to buy individual gifts for them x

 

[Bevziibubble]

That's a great idea

 

[motherofboys]

Hampers are always a good idea
