Ladypink did you win??

Today it looks freezing again outside, we still haven't had any snow here but it is icy. Not sure what the plan is today yet, doesn't seem worth going far when its lethal to go anywhere, but ds will go nuts if we have another indoor day :rolleyes: Maybe take him for a walk along the beach later if it clears up a bit.

Last night I also managed to write a list of everything I have put away (clotheswise) for ds to grow into. Its actually not much at the moment which is unusual, normally I've got loads, so at least in the sales I know what to look for. I need to do a bit of housework today but not too much, I got the ironing done and put away yesterday so its just a case of staying on top of everything

i am locked out of my coral account as cant remember my user name and have changed my card details since last time so they say i have to phone customer service :mad:

Aww Ladypink thats not good, BUT .... if you have a homebase near you hen get yourself down there right now!! I saw on the grabbit board they had reduced their xmas stuff and I nipped down there and got:

• 10 x 3m foil wrapping paper (some are plain so can be used for birthdays too ) 29p each
• 2 x 3 8m rolls of kids xmas paper and matching tags 29p each
• a box of 100 gold dec's (baubles, tinsel, star, beads etc) 49p
• 4 x tubs of 50 silver baubles (glittery, plain, mirrored etc) 49p each
• 3 x 6 foil tags 9p each
• a box of 6 glittery star decorations 49p
• a gorgeous cream shabby chic cake / fruit stand £5.99 (not sure whether to keep or give to my sister for her birthday)

I am sooooo chuffed with these bargains, I can't believe how much they were reduced, the wrap will keep me going for a couple of years at least, and its really nice stuff too The boxes of decs may head towards ebay / car boot sale nearer next xmas

They are good reductions Benbenandme, however, like ladypink, we had some of the white stuff yesterday, and today the road has been very icy. I have not ventured out in the car for a few days now. However, I know we need to pop down to our Argos tomorrow (next to Homebase) so might well take a little look...

I think we could be as well. Small world isn't it? Would be funny if we actually knew each other. I don't tend to talk mse to anyone in real life.
