just returned from town armed with wrapping paper, ribbons, tags, gluhwien, and christmas airfreshner ( vanilla n festive spice and spiced apple). Its beginining to loook a lot like christmas......shubby by do bi do....and forgot to mention the stollen bites, i fear the diet may shortly go to pot. Went in to aldi and they have lovely christmas food stuff. Tried it last year and enjoyed it more than sainsbuy/tesco etc. Believe me i tasted a good few!!! Also i have seen xmas decorations for the garden.. light up snowman and reindeer ,they stand on the lawn type stuff, very tasteful mind- clear little bulbs and £12.99. Wondering whether to get one at the weekend???? I usually have clear iccicle lights all round the guttering.
Now i just need the kettle, gasping

hi phunkles- the decorations are in aldi. They have several different ones, some are the stand up ones and others are flat for putting on walls. They are all £12.99 each and came in my local shop today.
