I've always been a big fan of M&S fizz, I like the pink, the cosmopolitan, the mojito generally like the Christmas ones. This week I picked up the Clementine and Pomegranate one - opened a bottle tonight and it's gone down very nicely (and probably too quickly!)

They used to be 2 for £7 but best deal I've seen for a while is 2 for £8, not the cheapest by definitely not the most expensive I've seen. I'd recommend it for anyone who likes a bucks fizz - it's lovely!

Clementine & pomegranate? That sounds right up my street. Yum yum!

Love the Lego chocolates, Chicky!

Been a long day today. Trying to put up Christmas decorations with an 8 month kitten trying to help is not easy. The tree is up-finally. Still have other decs to sort out, but I need to find shelves that Blossom can't get to to display breakables. A few of my brass tree decs have started to go rusty(think they're brass, anyway. And it looks like rust, although I'm not certain). They weren't expensive but were from America, so I'm disappointed. If anyone knows how I might be able to save them, I'd be very grateful. I'll post photos of my tree tomorrow when the place looks more 'sorted'. Still a bit chaotic with boxes around the place. Blossom has finally crashed out after trying to eat the tree branches, then tinsel & knocking baubles off. Sigh.

Had a lovely tea of gammon & mash, followed by some mulled wine(which has gone to my head!) and thorntons chocolate parcels (£ land). Now for a night watching x factor & I'm a celeb...

Hi everyone! :wave:

Hope there's room for another on this wonderful thread? This is my first ever post, on any forum! I have followed you all since page 1, but didn't have the nerve to join in. I feel that I know you all so well now, and love seeing your amazing makes amd photos.

Anyway, seeing as it's December1st, I thought I would take the plunge and jump right in! Apologies in advance if I get something wrong.
Everyone on here is so supportive and helpful, I feel I have found some like minded friends!

Our outside Xmas lights were switched on today. My OH (bless him ) has spent the last few evenings fiddling with the connections, so they would be ready. They look beautiful, even if I say so myself :j
We also bought our Xmas trees today, which I will decorate tomorrow. I have booked some holiday from work next week, so the rest of the house will be "done" then. Hopefully, I will then have time to do some Xmas crafting.

Sorry, I seem to have rambled on a little, but am so pleased to have joined in at last. Take care everyone. x

Hi Linda Lou,

Betsie2010

Loving sitting here with advent candle lit. Tomorrow will be sitting here in tree lights! I love the ambience it gives. Traditionally all the kids and I put the tree and decs up on 1st week end of Dec and then have Chinese take away. Yummy, can't wait! Kids have chosen red and silver colour scheme.. When I say kids they are all older teenagers and above!

I think that I need some retail therapy tomorrow since today wasn't good, going to go to Home bargains don't go very often as it's a bit of a drive to get there, has anyone picked up any good bargains from there recently need things for pots of gold too doing 8, there is also a poundworld and dunnes at the same shopping centre. x

well i am back from my first ever craft fair...very depressed:( between us my friend and I made £27.50 (she sold more of her things than I did). I sold some coaster calendars and two packs of ES mints.
Everyone was saying how slow it was:(. I don't know if people just weren't looking for things for Christmas or people in Durham don't like homemade/handmade things. there were only about 3 people with children and they were babies. They didn't even look at the "santa stop here" door hangers or Christmas mugs.

not sure if I will do another fair or not...at the moment no

so I have opened the box of Thorntons I had in the cupboard to cheer me up
