hello to all i dont buy yankie candles as like glade apple n spice that come out about now

emalou88- i am also going to enjoy the run up to xmas but not sure how the big day will go as my oh has recently lost his dad and as u say all the 1st are hard, it sounds like you have a close-knit family and i'm sure you av been and will help each other through. the bubble bath tradition is a lovely idea to carry on. i think we will toast a short of whiskey (fil fave tipple) tears may well be shed but i think its better to remember and do these things than try n blank it out at these hard times ((big hugs to u n u family))

went to pick up my daughter bday pressie 2day and a pressie for a party shes attending on sun! brought 10 cards we need for bdays b4 dec :eek:(big family) and party bag bits so now only got to buy food for the party Oct 14th so very nearly done:T
got to sort my sons 5th nov bday out nxt
and
kept seeing xmas thing everywhere!! so whilst in buyology brought
3 x santa stop here door hangers for 39p (for xmas eve hamper)
a set of 3 wicker baskets with a snowman on for £1.99
candy canes!! 12 for 99p

so much to do this time of year

Ooh where were these from please?

I like that tree - id hang colourful baubles from it :-)

Got them in Claires. They weren't there at the weekend. I think they may be getting sale stock in from different stores, as they only had 3.

It was on BBC2 from 8 to 9. The gingerbread houses were the last thing they did.
I am sure it is repeated later in the week . And it will be on iplayer.

OwnmyOwn, hope you aren't coming down with what i've got. Think I'm on my third week now and it is getting very old!
Loved TGBBO, so glad James won on his birthday. Sad to see Katherine go but TBH she just isn't up to standard now.
