I can't wait. Giving up physical presents was the best thing we ever did ( ... )

They're called luncheon vouchers, I hadn't even realised they still existed before last year! I get £4 of vouchers for each survey, and can be spent on food at most restaurants and supermarkets.

We bought last year's Christmas/New Year stuff with it, and we'll do the same this year. To add to that the supermarket we use (Tesco) sent us a voucher worth £12 off a shopping trip worth over £80. It means I can get some of the pre-prepared stuff that'll make Christmas Day sooo much easier.

That backstrap thing made me tense up. Ouch. I'm glad there are so many organisations that make helping easier.

thank you for linking that! keir and i are going for ask for that for christmas, well, to have his parents do that for us. the kids want to have them buy books for kids. they are redeeming themselves. slowly.

we usually do heifer international and buy a share of a sheep or a sheep if we can swing it for a spinning/weaving area. and we have done the benches for the backstrap weaving- i am getting a bench like that when i get a loom, and they are dirt cheap here, and so comfortable, but i can't imagine not using one. hell, i have a really high end spinning chair we all fight over because it is so comfortable. but it is now no longer being made and it is MINE, so sod them.;p
