I have got most of my wrapping paper and cards. In fact sad thing I am I wrote them all out last week. Don't buy crackers we don't seem to all sit together for meals to use them and now the kids are grown up we don't bother. should really buy some now that Joe is older. Might do that. Germaine x

In the after Christmas sales,I also always buy wrapping paper that can be used at other times too.... like plain gold, silver or foil wrap. Especially useful if you know of a themed wedding anniversary approaching. Son opened the gold for a present yesterday so I'll have to check my supplies.

I've just bought the two pups an advent calendar each ....lol! Nearly made all my cards, bought wrapping paper and tags last week, and just starting to compile my list of what to buy people (have got a few bits and pieces already). I like to be well-organised so that I can enjoy everything without a mad panic (well that's my excuse!). Mandy :)

:( But Maz, they will be gone the next time I go in there. And they are the best that we can get here, and they aren't expensive ($22 for 16) about 10 pounds. deb

Costco sells the BEST, therefore they sell out early. Thought that I'd better get them while they are still in stock. Deb
