Hi there everyone :j
I've taken 4 days and a lot of reading to catch up on this thread and I'm loving it.
Don't think im going to be able to do the challenges this year but I enjoy the chat and the ideas and will attempt to try and join in next year now that I'm getting up to speed.

Well done you for staying up! I tried to but ended up crawling up to bed shattered about 10 to 12,Im woken every morning around 5.30 am by my youngest so I just cant do late nights any more! A lot of what I wanted which was the Sylvanian families was sold out but I have ordered 2 furreal pets which Im delighted with! At £45 and £50 each I had told my daughters they were too expensive so it will be a lovely suprise for them come Christmas Day.
Im just having a break from sorting out their room, Im dreading going back up to it though! Im trying to be as ruthless as possible, there is so much there that just isnt played with but its hard work sorting through it in front of them, as soon as I put something in a bag ready to be re-homed they are pouncing on it and saying they cant live without it!

dont know who posted it on an earlier page but this site had sylvanian families stuff on ot incase thats of any help to you

Hi Clare,

Just had a quick look on Boots website

100ml EDT is £39.99

Ultraviolet gift set with 50ml EDT and 100ml shower gel is £30

Don't know if you have any points or can use cashback to help but at least it is genuine from there

Hope this helps!

I had a look on Halfprice perfumes but it seems the same as boots and like FedUp says, youll get cashback and points with boots xx

Afternoon everyone! Me again!

Can you help? Hubby has asked for a specific eau de toilette for Crimbo, but I've no idea the best online stores (perfume specialist or otherwise) to start looking! He wants Paco Rabanne Ultra Violet (eau de toilette) 100ml.

I feel out of my depth here. ASk me to find the best prices on books, DVDs or games, and I'm fine!! lol

Any help or suggested sites would be wonderful. Thank you!!

Thank you everyone. Looks like I can't get it for much under £30 (a few ££s under but not much), but you've all highlighted some fab perfume sites. Many thanks all!!

rufusdog - thanks for that - he had the aftershave before but it drove him round the bend as he likes to spray it rather than splash it! lol Pain in the bum that he is. He ended up decanting it into small plastic spray bottles.

(Off to persude hubby to just have the 50ml size! lol)

Thanks again all!

Great idea shevs, when i was in B&Ms at bellevue yesterday they had a black and white santa hat in that said Bar humbug on the band that would go good with the idea, if that helps. Think it was 99p

Thank sarah but that would be wasted on my dad, as much as the hat would suit him he wouldnt wear it.

I had that with Dooyoo for ages. I had about 10 suggestions up there for weeks, so I emailed them just to make sure my suggestions hadn't got lost. They emailed back saying that they prioritise actual purchaseable items, and because they get so many suggestions, my suggestions may be lower priority (they were hotels) - but they'll get to them in the end. And they did, to be fair!

Mary - hope everythign goes well today!

I need to go look through Argos for my secret santa receiver don't I! lol

Clare x

That's odd then cos my Waybuloo one went through in a day and the Gearoge Foreman I suggested is still up 3 weeks later..

Have decided to start planning Christmas dinner, I now know what we're having, just can't decide whether to have a lunch, then big dinner later, or Christmas dinner for lunch and a supper later :rolleyes:
