I'm a big kid at Christmas!

It's nearly November, mention it when you want! Good job there's plenty of other nut jobs here to join in the conversation! :rotfl:

I cant decide if 100g of soap for 2 quid is a good deal or not.xx

Thanks Esmer! I have just ordered some!

<sigh> I still don't understand the need to make a big deal of it PUBLICLY. Like others have said, it's a thread about Christmas. If there's another unrelated issue, take it elsewhere!

Anyway, I was naughty lunchtime and not only did I find a craft shop in the town I work (uh oh!! - but luckily for my purse it was closed! lol) but also spent £4 on Christmassy embelishments, card making stuff and stickers from the pound shop! lol I don't even know if I'm making cards like this this year! lol Hey, it's all there for me to use in the future I suppose.

Well my blog is up and running. (ish...two posts! lol) but wanted to show you lovely people the first bracelet I made using good old memory wire. Does it look ok?

That looks really lovely CDSmiler - you are very clever!

I have been to M&S today trying to get the liquor for £2.49 - totally sold out but I did get some Gingerbread cream liquor with £3 off down to £6.99 - not sure whether to keep (I LOVE gingerbread!) or put in my aunts hamper.

I also got some Christmas Coffee from there (a 'chocolately' flavour?!) for their hamper (uncle loves coffee), some christmas shortbread (half price - £2.24 for a big box), a 'matchbox game' - Dilemma I think it was called for £3.50, some mulled wine for my sisters hamper (xmas eve) which had £2 off down to £3.99 and a 'retro' polystyrene aeroplane for £1 (those ones you build) for my BIL's stocking.

I also took a trip to Sainsburys where they had loads of their toys out, presumably for the half price sale starting tomorrow. I am hoping to get the 'Logo' game which is £24.99 at the mo and the remote control dalek for my DS which is currently £19.99. Fingers crossed they go in the sale - they were stacked up and they had alot!

Off to make Nigellas Chocolate Chip bread and butter pudding - yum!!!!

Aww thanks both. Not really all that clever pinkflop. lol Most of it is based on luck... lol Thanks for commenting though - it's hard to tell when your head is stuck in a bead box whether what you're making is actually any good or not. You kind of loose sight a bit.

Well done on your bargains Ddraig! And yours Pinkflop - shame you missed out on the M&S liqour - I haven't got an M&S near me to go looking. Booo.
