    Eleysia - £15 for 2 bags of candyfloss - ridiculous!!!!

    Well done on the Tickets - sounds easier than the 9 hours I spent trying to get some (I did succeed in the end though!)

    I was also lurking on the grabbit board - managed to get all my sweets from that handy candy for my retro sweet boxes and got some la senza pj's - 2 for £20! :D

    Not posted in a while, daughter number 3 was born on 1st nov :-), and so things have been pretty hectic. Going to attempt to catch up on posts now, before little one wakes for feed. Hope everyone is well x

  • Hi everyone

    fedup - well done on selling all those jars! Nice to have some space in your cupboards and a bit of extra Christmas cash in your pocket.

    elysia - well done on getting TT tickets - I heard they'd released a few more. I spend about 6 hours online getting mine!

    tq16 - congratulations!!!

    I did a bit of Christmas shopping today, got a beautiful photo frame and some cake tins from TKMaxx - I haven't been in there for ages but they had quite a few nice bits and pieces in.

    Wanted to get some Cadburys Dairy Milk minatures so went to B&M where they have been sighted - but no luck :( I did manage to get a really cute little hot water bottle for my sister's Christmas box and a big plastic Christmas bowl to make her chocolate hamper in. So not a trip entirely wasted.

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend :)

  • Hi

    Have been lurking on here, but not posted before. Some brilliant ideas and tips, thanks.

    Apologies if this has been mentioned on here before, and I am probably teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, but was looking for the link fof the free video message from Santa, and found it on the freebies board

    and a link for utube to show what it looks like

    Did this for my grand-daughter last year and it was lovely.
