It's going to be quite a turnout - and I am really looking forward to seeing everyone again - especially Jan, as a little bird told me that she is now wearing size 12 jeans. I hate her really!!! And if she turns up in something slinky and stands next to me, there will be no Secret Santa for her!!

She is looking slinky Mel I have to say! Are we doing a Secret Santa with a price limit of a frugal amount of course?

I think we should limit it to no more than 99p spend per person. E-bay has a lot of good deals - although the postage could throw it over a little for larger items. What do other forum members think?

We have a 90p store in our town so could source something from there and if we rounded it up to £1.00, the shop poundland has some items and some can be quirky. I think we'd all go home with a token gift

It's the thought that counts - and I love doing Secret Santas - we do one in the office each year, and some of the thoughts that go into some of the presents are amazing.

Just read the whole of the thread and it sounds fab, so I'm checking my diary tomorrow and finding a room to book!

I'm up for Secret Santa.

I promise to find a tent to wear that night Melanie!

Cath, you may find that all the rooms are taken at the County, but if so, let me know and I'll post the details of one which isn't too far away.

Hate to say this ladyh, but I've just been out and bought some of Asda's £5 trousers for work in a size 12.
