The above picture may look like a pile of jumble, but its actually the start of my Christmas shopping. Two of our three boys have birthdays in December, so it is always a hideously costly month for us. This year, I am determined not to go overboard. I have taken full advantage of the summer sales, visits to factory shops and charity shop treasure, and have made a really good start. I am going to fill the various tins I have found with jammie dodgers or lollipops. I have made full use of Boots No 7 vouchers and stocked up on other smellies from TK Maxx for stocking fillers. I still have lots to buy, but am going to get a couple of things a week from now on.
I have also saved all of my Tesco vouchers and Nectar points, so that we can have meals at Pizza Express and Ask for the boys birthdays, already paid for. We also have some M&S vouchers saved which I will use for my Christmas food shopping. I really hate that feeling in December of spend, spend, spend. I shall avoid it at all costs!!
Have a good day.

ReplyDeleteHi there Catherine! Thanks for leaving a comment on my post as it allowed me to fond you! What a lovely blog you have! I am green with Envy that your Hubby was lovely enough to get you a Pashley! I have been wanting one for a while.....got given a super duper all can do 50 gear type one from my hubby.....I was grateful, but just laughed that he thought my plan might be to actually use all the gears! I do have a pink basket on the front, but it looks really very sad!!!!!!!!!
