Hi there everyone! This is my first post - hopefully lol. So don't expect any bells & whistles yet!!! Have been lurking on the forum for years now, but this organized Christmas thread has had me giggling to me boots. I thought I was the only one you see. The only Christmas loon who waits for the Coke ad each year - holidays a comin' holidays a comin' ! I just lurve it all. So just wanted to say hiya to you all and you never know I might end up making this a regular thing!
Loads a Luv x

Hello everyone

Havent posted for a few days, been abit under the weather with a cold.....baby hasnt made an appearance yet so im officially overdue now, not too bothered yet, he must be happy in there and im ok for him to stay put maybe another week.....BUT NO LONGER I want to meet him.

Im struggling to find pots for the pots of gold, someone suggested using wine glasses and it was a good idea because mum needed new wine glasses but now shes bought some :mad: My mum probly knows where to get some but I dont want her to know what they are for, looked in home bargains, wilko, tk maxx, pound shops, ooh gonna try ebay

how about small vases? I bought some short fat ones from woolies last year and they'd be great with some gold tissue shreds and coins etc - and practical too - i mean, who doesnt need an extra vase?

hi to the newbies!!

I dont mind paying that much especially if it can be used again, thanks!! Doing one for step dad too so mum will have a set of 2 Im gonna use a gold gift box minus the lid for my Dads, he lives alone and doesnt drink (wine glass idea out) and not into flowers, candles or anything like that.
