Was browsing through the "Warehouse" page/shop on eBay & saw 16 piece dinner sets for £4.00 each then saw if you buy 5 or more they go down to just £2.50 each set so brought 20 sets & then I saw 16 piece cutlery sets for £1.50 but if you buy 5 or more they go down to just 75p each set so me brought 20 sets, Now I have 40 presents for the adults already for next year for just £65, then I clicked onto the childrens section and there were lego sets (Wilko's home brand ones) for £2.00 each but goes down to just £1.00 per set if order 5 or more so naturally I just at to order 15 pink sets & 15 blue sets so now bill came to £95, less my bonus loyalty discount card the total bill now comes to £80 with p&p So I have 70 presents already for next year & we not even had this year Christmas yet.
I wasn't actually going to buy anything was just looking, but the dinner set was just to good a offer to pass by (M&S dinner set rpp £45 slight seconds leaf missing on some plates & plant missing on some of the cups) the cutlery box as damage to hinge or chip on corner of wooden box (John Lewis not sure of rrp) as for the Wilko's lego set there are 14 to 20 pieces missing from each set (will play around with each set so they all have same amount of lego bricks in them) I must admit I do like the "warehouse" page/shop on eBay, am on look out for some prestige saucepans on their page/shop
I'm not even some with this year. I'm pretty close but I want to get wrapped early and stuff I ordered black Friday isn't even here yet. I'm getting really upset at this point as it's inexcusable.
I sent a cheque to the family, with instructions to buy something which benefits all of them. Have only bought Chas a litre of rum - so far. He may get some decent scotch too, if he's a good boy. Dogs have 10 hooves and a pack of dried tripe, bought at last week's LKA dog show. (That should stink the house out!) Christmas? Nothing to it. Almost forgot, a furry Border Collie rug for the dog next door.
I’ve done a retro style ‘movie night’ hamper for son and his girlfriend, each have (snow-mans soup, couple of DVD’s, popcorn, which I put in the red/white popcorn bags, cozy socks, Maltesers, retro sweets , Personalised Coke bottles, small bottles of baby-sham with glasses, some chocolates, pringles and dip. I scattered the bottom of box with some chocolate coins, wrapped it all in clear cellophane and tied with fancy ribbons and bows. Looked really good, didn’t cost the earth and I had fun making it.
I done all my 2016 Christmas present shopping had a very good shop lots of bargains to be have & I been wrapping them all up for last 2 hours best buy was the Christmas cards only 10p now instead of £2 per pack & wrapping paper now 1p instead of £1 plus the luxury crackers that were £9.99p before Christmas are now £1.99. even got myself a lovely duffle coat for only £5, got some mittens gloves & watch coming from WISH I saw the shop on Facebook so had a look lots of items from £1, [watches, gloves, rings,bracelets, necklaces, microwave dishes, nail stuff plus lots of other stuff] now I can relax when next year comes round xxxx
Wow all done! I know that the after Christmas sales are good but I'm all shopped out. I did use a 30% off coupon at lulu.com but that was floor myself. I got my daughter a pair of shoes half price and a couple outfits on sale but she will be in them before Christmas next year. I'm thinking 4-6 months but everything was about 50% off.
There was just someone I wanted to gift. I saw something nice on Amazon UK but it had to to to the US so they would not let me. Then I saw something nice on Amazon US but they will not let me buy from them. And then... and then... I remembered PayPal... so I thought either she will kill me or she will be happy. And she was happy! And so was I!
