Organised Christmas 2008.. The countdown has begun!

www.lakeland.co.uk

It is a shop that has a catalogue (But I think it started off as a catalogue first lol) and sells a wide range of useful things. They are a really big reputable company but I find their prices are usually too steep for me.

What you suggested sounds nice though Shev!!

Thats reminded me!! My lakeland catalogue will be at my old address!! Will have to send off for another hehe.

Pinkladymel - I too don't order much from it but love to have a look and go "yum bet that tastes nice" and "oh thats pretty" hehe. My mum on the other hand saves up each year so she can order some of the goodies from it. I remember when I was younger getting all excited when the Lakeland parcel came hehe.

emay

Oohhhhh does that mean mines on it's way:j :j :j :j :j , is it sad if I sit on the doorstep and wait for postie?

(got called sad at work yesterday, firstly for knowing its 100 days to go, and then for getting excited cause they were putting all thechristams gifts out as I left!!!)

Hi everyone:hello:, I got my Christmas catalogue today from Lakelands, god you dont know how excited I was to get it through the post. There is a 5 year Christmas organiser in it for £5.99. It has loads of niffty little pockets and nick nacks. It looks really cute and Chritmassy for anyone who is interested, I know I am. It is more for keeping track of pressie and so on rather then an actual guide

Ohh Siren that sounds like my kinda christmas Bet you can still remember the smell of new catalogue pages!

Hiya emay if you're sad, i'll gladly be sad with you!! Does that mean it is now only 99 days till christmas? WAHOO!!

I dont buy much from Lakelands, it is a bit steep, but they have some really lovely stuff and I too like having a nosey around the shop. Seems to be some very reasonable items in the Christmas catalogue that look fab so may treat myself (after convincing bf that we NEED NEED NEED those items for the home) xx

pinkladymel

You do OF COURSE need them Shev!! I agree the prices look alright this year don't they? I think I am trying to tell myself this so I can make an order and feel all christmassy lol

I can remember when the Lakeland boxes had little cartoons drawn on the sides hehe. Last year I brought a couple of decorations from them so I may treat me and OH again.
