    Evening Damsel. Can I ask wha5 shop B&M is, is it an abreveation? Am based in Essex so not sure if we have any but sounds a good shop to visit .

    Beginning to get excited, just confirmed my first Xmas party and MIL is booking us all to see Santa on a train ride on 23rd Dec this week. Thats 2 weekends we've got something xmasy on .

    Im quite sure that they don't have them down that end of the country sorry :(
    Maybe you will eventually, It's pretty much like home bargains/quality save , Those to were once only available in the north part of the country but they've been branching out a lot more over the past couple of years, so hopefully b&m will do the same :)

    It's a shame really that not everyone gets to go to these sort of stores are they really are brilliant!
    Having a coke with you
    is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
    or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
  • Thanks for that Damsel. We have got home bargins now, one just opened in Chelmsford which is close to me, looking forward to the kids going back to school so i can go and have a good old nosey round.:T

    Gonna start sorting out the loft today, just been shoving things up there and now no clue what i've got. DS birthday in couple of weeks so got to sort that out. Anyone been to Drusillas park in sussex. I think its got Thomas land and DS is mad in Thomas!:j

    Hi All

    I have been on hols and so haven't posted for a while.

    Whilst away I bought a Dynamo Magician Impossible dvd (for brother), a Set of Super Mario figures (for DS), new Jacqueline Wilson book (for DD).

    I also bought the best presents of all 2 x xmas bauble in presentation box which are pink and white with "birthday girl" on them. Both my neice and good friend have a birthday on 22nd Dec and both moan that there's nothing they can put on the tree to signify their birthday, but now there is.

    I also decided that DS is no longer getting a dvd hamper (and I wll just wrap up the dvds I have bought for it) and instead is getting a Marvel Heroes hamper, as I managed to find a shop with various Avengers/Marvel sweets and chocolates. I have already bought an Iron Man torch and an Avengers goody bag which can go in it and I will be purchasing Avengers Assemble as soon as its out. If I see a good offer I might add in Iron Man 1 and 2 as he loves those.

    :T

    You might be better with the boxed set of Avengers here:

    I am considering it but we already have Ironman and Ironman 2 so I'm thinking it isn't worth it for us really......

    Chickywiggle - Hope u r OK, thanks for suggesting B&Ms for Marvel stuff. They didn't have any PJs but I did get him a couple of the Marvel Heroes grab packs (where they have a little lego type man inside). They also The Simpsons PJs that I need to get DH but didn't have the right size, so will keep going back.

    Possession - Wow! That Avengers box set is amazing, thank you for posting the link, DH is pre-ordering it from Tesco Entertainment as I type. It is perfect!
    Aims for 2014
    Drink a glass of water a day, Empty handbag at least once a week, Continue "not putting things off" and tackle things head on, Treasure people around me, Stay healthy and well away from hospitals, Continue to declutter/decorate house slowly and not get stressed because I can't do everything at once. :D

    I'm wondering whether to get it and sell his Ironman 1 & 2 DVDs. If I sell them quick they might fetch a good price, and the boxed set is impressive. DS will be almost 11 and getting to the kind of age where he'd be impressed by that kind of thing. decisions decisions!

    Buy it, Buy it, Buy it! Its amazing, and my DH (who leaves all 99% of Christmas planning to me) is never impressed by anything but couldn't wait to order that. Your DS will love it. My son will be 9 at xmas and right at this moment I am more excited about giving him that boxset than his main pressie (Ipad2).
