its beginning to look a lot like christmas....well almost!

PAYDAY! woohoo is all i can say to that!
took jamie and lexi to tesco for breakfast to celebrate lol (its been a long month!)
the parents hamper is coming along very nicely now lots of treats  and some basics as well. last night we bought my nephews christmas present off of the auction channel on tv its basically a cheap imitation of a wii £40 with lots of games pre installed comes with all the controllers etc, i think they will be happy with that. they will have to share, they are twin 7 year olds so they should be used to sharing.they actually sare a birthday with charity, how weird is that! we were introduced to charity on her first birthday, as we were meeting her my sister was being wheeled into theatre for her c-section!so they are one year apart to the day.
oh, i digress...
so after tesco (i spent £90 and managed to get about four items of actual shopping.....it was all christmas presents!!)then over to teh garden centre. jamie want to know if the christmas decorations are up yet (i dont know who was more excited him or me!lol) they arent there yet but we could see through the big black curtain that it was nearly time and the sign said early october....eek, not long now! after school we went to our other big garden centre as i know the 2 seem to have a race as to who can get their stuff on sale first, sadly aother big black curtain greeted us but again, it wont be long!did manage to buy a babies first christmas snowglobe and a little sockin ornament. the children get at least one ornament each year i write their name and the year on it. mypla is when they leave home they will have a box full of ornaments to start their own trees with. i have ornaments my nanny gave me and they are my most cherished christmas decorations.
talking of trees...
charity (chats) usually has a pink pre lit tree in her bedroom this year as she and jamie are sharing at the moment ive told her she will have to have a green tree and when she starts sharing with lexi they will have the pink tree in their room so for this year it will be in lexi's room i ill have tothink of a theme to decorate it and a theme for the tree in the kids room...decisions,decisions!
and theres still those birthday cakes to decide upon......well, j has decided on a big spider sitting on a spider we and chats well its down to  a tray of cupcakes or a handbag/nacklace/mirror combo or a fairy toadstall or a tasselled cushion topped with tiara and sceptre which is my favourite idea at the moment...watch this space
today we finally managed to get all the junk into the loft so the babies room is useable
