Yeah that's one of my favourites - I sent it to my sister after her birthday even though I had been there and everything :)

Just went on Magic Freebies:

Free Personalised Wall Calendar Worth £9.99

I've had a lot of people e-mailing this offer in so I'm guessing it will be popular. Just click the get started button to begin designing your calendar and then checkout. You need to p*y a small p&p charge but its a pretty cool freebie so I thought it was worth posting.

I put in loads of cute pics of my bulldog pup to make a calender for myself... however i did get carried away and get 2 desk calenders as they look fab with the pics on... think both sets of parents will get one as a stocking filler.

Did not work out cheap in the end as ended up spending £20.00

Oops, but at least i have officially started my chrimbo shopping ..... Yey Me!! :P

OK well I think I may be the sadest person in the world. I think today I officially finished my Christmas shopping! I know right what is wrong with me? Even I am worried about how organised I've done things this year. Even the Xmas cards are written, which as my Mother pointed out was probably tempting fate with older members of my family.

I ordered the Vista Print calendar today and as you said ended up spending loads but at least I got my mother in law a nice gift lol

That's my hope! I hate Christmas shopping so get it done early and I don't have to face it - or at least that's my plan!

Oh that reminds me - another pressie which I did for a friend last year!

I b*ght a lovely photo album and collated a selection of photos from across the years. As we have been friends since we were four, I had a lot to choose from and even put in one of our class photographs. She absolutely loved it and it was nice to remember all the different groups of people we have met along the way i.e. our first ballet performance at five, our first big school disco (the clothes were terrible and the make-up even worse) etc.

Hope this is of use to someone!
