Shopaholic? Me?

I just had a great idea, or maybe it is a midnight spur of the moment idea but I was thinking that this year instead of Christmas cards, I would make postcards with a pre-printed message. I mean after all postcard printing is probably cheaper than Christmas cards, you can do without envelopes, you don’t have to write a message on everyone’s card as it could be pre printed on the card and I could even get it with a picture of the kids. And yes, I would probably have to start getting organized now. I know Christmas seems far away but we are already on the countdown and this year I have 3 kids… and one has already asked me for a WII!!!!

I am exhausted already!

I was looking at some baby shower invitations and really regretted not having a baby shower for the twins. The truth is I was so tired, there was no way I could organize it. I barely managed their Christening, let alone adding the baby shower. You would think that as it was prior to the babies being born, I could have managed it. However I think I was just as tired as I am now. On the plus side, I did actually manage to carry off the Christening… and I think I even did it with style!

Christmas is upon us and I can bet that you are busy shopping away. I thought of a quick and easy gift to send to all my relatives overseas. Cheap to post and very personal. I am talking about photos!

And to make it even better, besides being able to claim 50 free prints by clicking the link below, I have a code for all shopaholics to get a fiver off your photos! If you spend £20 or more on gifts and prints, you can get £5 off your order.

1. Click on the link
2. Order you photos
3. Enter the offer code SAVE5 at the checkout

Simple as 1, 2, 3! No need to call Owen for PC Support!!

Note – The offer excludes Kids collection and Photo Fashion and is valid until midnight 31st December 2008. Standard Photobox terms and conditions apply.

Neat Ideas is a great place to get stationary from. First of all it is cheap. One of the cheapest I found anyway. I have been using them for around 5 years now and have never been able to complain. And that is pretty impressive from someone who likes to complain especially when things go wrong. Anyway, besides having great prices on ink, paper, stationary, stickers, pens, office furniture, printers, faxes etc they also often have special offers and free gifts.

Last but definately not least, when you spend £30 (which is easy enough) you also get free delivery. And by free delivery, I mean, you find the items on your doorstep the very next day! I am impressed with how quick they deliver.

Plus if you order the wrong thing accidentally, they will take it back too (don’t ask how I know!!)

Neat Ideas is definately a place I recommend for your stationary and office supplies.

Littlewoods have a sale of up to 70% off. I cannot resist sales and I do like littlewoods. I wonder if they deliver to IOM?

Did you hear, Tesco has released a new and updated catalogue. And currently, you can get triple points on every order. Yippee!!

OK, I must admit perhaps I am a little bit drunk. It is a saturday night after all. But I was thinking of making a banner stand for my hubby’s birthday. It could say something like “Happy Birthday Owen! Love from all of us”. We could use it ever year too! LOL! And it should embarrass him lots too!

I wish I found these when my son was born. They are a really lovely way of letting people know about your new bundle of joy. They will be dispatched within 3 days and are not even expensive. Perhaps another baby?

 

I have been searching for a place to buy cheap DVDs. Hubby dearest bought this DVD recorder which is fantastic for recording off TV. We have endless episodes of Big Cook Little Cook on DVD. But it does mean that we need extra DVDs to record them to. I also need DVDs to save my photos too. Thankfully they sell them both in retail quantities and wholesale. I can use the wholesale quantities of DVDs.

And as a bonus they even do cheap HP ink! Yippee. Means I can print on my DVDs too.

The only problem I have with supermediastore is that they are us based, so I need someone UK based.

I like my HP Laser Printer. But it can sometimes be a pain to buy the HP C9704A toner drum unit for it. Thankfully there are some places that are easier than others to get it from.

Office Supply Outfitters can supply all your ink needs. They sell toner cartridges, ink jet catridges, copier toner, printer supplies, fax supplies, and obviously HP toners. They even sell fax and cash register ribbons.

Now I just need to get myself organized to buy the toner drum unit! I wonder if I can con my hubby into doing the transaction! Not my idea of fun shopping but a necessary evil!
