Does anyone know when the ideal home christmas magazine is out ? Also the christmas tv and radio times ? I prefer the tv and radio times to the other TV guides as they remind me of how excited I usedto be when mum picked them up when I was a child

One of my fave things to do is read through it and circle what I want to record! Just googled it & cant find a date, but depending on how frequent they are brought out Im thinking like a month before?

Just been browsing Matalans christmas shop http://www.matalan.co.uk/fcp/categorylist/dept/homeware_christmas?resetFilters=true and noticed a Refreshers mug and sweets set (£5) that would be great for my stepdad. Not been 'grabbed' by anything else though. Think Ive been spoilt by The Range.

Oh and I also read a post this morning about christmas print ribbon (sorry Ive forgotten who it was) and I know ebay was suggested but also if you have access to Costco, I get all my ribbon there, its amaze!

And im the same Vintage Queen, I record alsorts and by Jan if new series of things are beginning I normally delete things I havnt bothered with! I tend to watch more over the build up of xmas & xmas week itself I dnt have time!

I just had to tell you this, my hubby and i were just chatting christmas and he said when he was a kid he always wanted the cadburys money box that dispensed the little chocolates but he never got one, neither did i! He is 20 years older than me :rotfl: how long have those things been around :eek: lmao!!

Didn't someone say they could still be found somewhere?

B&M bargains (£5.99 i think) and also Argos used to sell them. B&M also has the miniatures which I remember used to be hard to get hold of!

I saw the Cadbury machine in Tesco today on the toy aisle. Think it was 6.97 though

I saw them in Wilkinson's this week too!

Well, this, if that's what you mean.

If I want something but dont have the money until a few days later I just keep reserving it.
