Bah, would love this but there's one left and I can't afford £25 + atm as have just ordered 3 nerf guns from Amazon and lots of bodyshop goodies. Both seen in the grabbit section. Body shop is partly for pressies but mainly as a treat for me.

I'm going to have to hope that it will available elsewhere later in the year.

Can I ask a probably stupid question re Rudolph monopoly?

If its shipped from the states then is the currency in dollars?

Hi everyone,
I have been here but have been majorly busy and went away for 2 weeks so havent had a minute to actually post. Looked back and the last time I posted was 2nd August :eek: Sorry. Been keepng up but only have to stay off of here for a day to be backlogged - its going sooo fast now

Loads of things I wanted to say but cant remember half of them and the convos moved forward so quickly so will just say congratulations to those expecting and who have moved and well done everyone for being so organised. Oh and (sorry cant remember who is was) someone spoke about their hubby and the lovely gifts they get - what a lovely thoughtful oh. Wish mine was like that #signs and dreams if only lol.

I havent done anything Xmassy for a while as summer hols cost so much plus it was my dd's 5th bday and we had a party. Mind you, I did get one stocking filler and a new Xmas decoration a couple of weeks ago when I was in Ireland - couldnt resist

As others have said, its so nice to see bits starting to appear in the shops - so far seen bits in Card factory, just the tins in Tesco (might take a trip to Morrisons tho after your report Opee - and that had me in stitches by the way lol) and the disney store have their christmas pjs out! Also after one of those advent calendars (drawer one) that was posted - think I will give in this year. Wanted one for the last couple of years but always figured that I could get it in the Jan sales but its always out of stock well before then so def going to get it this year - my dd has a few things from Disney store anyway that I want to get her for Xmas. Also loving the pudding bin liners - definately want these but think I will wait to see if the price goes down.

Also, randomly, someone asked ages ago for ideas for a basketball hamper for their ds well my hubby is basketball mad and I was gonna get him a few new bits for Xmas but now decided to do a hamper too so thanks for that idea. A few suggestions could be a new ball (obviously lol), the little chocolate basketballs (you used to get them in pic and mix), a new arm sleeve (bascially a stupid sleeve thing they wear on their elbow - dont ask me why but hubby has loads), sweat bands, shamballa bracelet (not basketball as such but has ball in the name and really popular amongst nba stars if Im right and generally now anyway), base layer (pair of tight shorts worn under basketball shorts instead of boxers to keep their crown jewels firmly in place lol) and thats all I got so far. You can also find out who their fave player is and get a poster or something? most players have brought out their own trainers, tshirts etc but these can be expensive. My fella loves Trady Mcgrady and his trainers cost an arm and a leg! HTH x

Thanks for the basketball ideas, it's all new to me as he has only been playing for the past year on and off but has now really got into it and plays twice a week. He's only 10 but is wearing size 13/14 clothes because of his hieght and size 7 feet. I am just happy that he has found a sport he is comfortable with! Will definitely look into some of those suggestions

Our Morrisons now has its Christmas aisle out, which is making me very excited.

Have a trip to London planned for the weekend of the 7th December, will be staying with friends to keep the costs down but looking forward to that.

I used to really dislike new years eve until last year, we had friends around with their similar age children, we had a raclette for dinner which takes a while to eat and is very relaxed, played some games and then went outside lit the fire pit, toasted marshmallow and drank hot chocolate. What made it even more special is I live on the top of a hill overlooking our town and the next town and the sea and we had a brilliant firework display as we can see everyone else's. We stayed out side until the early hours and all commented that it was the best new years since we had our kids! Hope that happens again this year.

Hi All

Thanks for the comments re "Nativity", I am definitely going to order it.

LalaGomay-Thanks for tv preview.

I have bought DS another DVD today, and know a few of us on here are following similar hamper themes so thought I would post...

It's Marvel Avengers (the cartoon one) and is Volume 1 and Volume 2 plus a bonus disc for fiver, which I thought was a bargain.

I bought it in Tesco and it looks like its only just come out and was in the dvd chart area.

As I have pre ordered Avengers Assemble in the box set which was kindly mentioned previously on here, then this still gives me a DVD to add to DS's Marvel hamper :T
