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).

LOL I think I was doing it while you were writing this! Actually I'd preordered the blu-ray which was £16 so have switched to the DVD for the boxed set, cancelled the blu-ray and it's only £10 more. DS won't be bothered if it isn't blu-ray and makes it more affordable.

Hoping fellow christmas loons will be able to help me. I am planning to cover the door frame with wrapping paper after santa has been on Christmas eve so that the boys would have to break in. I want to get some tape to put across saying santa at work keep out or something similar. has anyone seen anything similar, i can only find a halloween version so far.

thanks guys, think i was just a bit fed up this morning as after looking into as certain store for a fellow poster they have completly ignored me yet posted thanks someone who posted less info 5 posts later (actually thinking about it i think they completly ignored my earlier post about said store too but commented about it later on with someone else. perhaps I'm on their ignore list lol. :rotfl:

anyway I know who to help in future eh glad you got some bits BB.

have just been out for a lovely lunch with the hubby and kids so am gonna put christmas music on and sort out my christmas cupboard while hubby and DH2 nap

that box set is a good price - hubby already got most of em tho i think. was getting him the new call of duty black ops for christmas but he's told me today get it for a late birthday pressie instead (his b'day is october it's out in november) - so i said "oh good i can get the new assassins creed for you then" ......... but apparently he doesn't want that one. he is picky with clothes ........ so that leave a years supply of lynx and some perfume for him.... men!!! **rolls eyes**.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh FABBBYYYY idea.

eta: marginally cheaper - by a few pence http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/East-of-India-Do-Not-Open-Until-25th-December-Christmas-Paper-Tape-10m-Craft-/180960601554?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Celebrations_GiftWrapping_ET&hash=item2a2217a5d2

They also have this which looks good

I love how organised you all are, wish I was!! Just too skint to get anything just now :-(

I did get this wee set for my mums garden hamper

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0050AQROI/ref=mp_s_a_7?pi=75x47&qid=1346082864&sr=8-7

And used a £5 voucher so it was even cheaper!

Postie pulled a fly one on saturday and posted a delivery card for my elf without chapping the door so I have to collect him tomorrow at the sorting office.

I'm on the lookout this year for special personalised stockings, I've seen some beautiful vintage linen ones but at £30 each it's out of my budget - I could try and make them but worried I wont finish them all!

SORRY CHICKYWIGGLE, simply hadn't read your post properly. THANK YOU. Next time if you wanna have a dig please let me know

s'ok eljaycock.

they're a bit boring my3girls but i think i'm gonna get these stockings (tho possibly not from this seller) as I had one like that for my childhood.

Sacks i'm undecided there are soooo many nice ones.
just spotted these which i love.

but also like the idea of a brown hessian sack so it looks like its just fallen off the sleigh...........

If anyone after some nice stationary sort of bits for stocking fillers or hampers, Sainsburys have a lot of nice back to school stuff 70% off, there's some younger kids stuff, also big box of 30 JS Gel Pens reduced to 3.99 (including sparkly, great for girls) and also saw some Moshi Monsters bits - sticker packs I think, said 70% off but couldn't see SEL, worth a nosey - stocked up both kids on school stuff and got a lot heavily reduced

I'd really like to get the Olympics DVD set for whole family for Christmas, as we caught some of it on tv in the US but also missed quite a lot; it's 19.99 to pre order on Amazon, have £10 voucher and building up another on surveys, if anyone happens to see it anywhere cheaper would you mind letting me know please? many thanks!

I do like the idea of the hessian sacks - my DS has a red velvet santa sack with white fake fur and pompom drawstring he hads when he was a baby - I have pics of him in it and his little feet sticking out when he was small - it looks a bit like the big one on the sleigh in Polar Express! I'm pretty sure we got it in Debenhams, may be worth a looksee there on their website? also some nice stockings in the Disney Store, usually from end of September, sometimes ebay and Amazon have them too.

DD has a santa sack my mum made for her as a baby which is all embroidered - they have sack races in the living room on Christmas Eve!
