It may have what in it?! :eek:

I have done quite well this week got dd a mamas and papas dolly pram from home bargains. She has now said that she wants a swing for christmas so hoping to pick up a bargain at the end of summer however debating about getting a swing which you can put a baby swing on too however wondering if dd would be a bit put out lol!

Really struggling for bits for her though she will be 6 in Nov and it feels like she already owns everything!!

I went to my local charity shop today and managed to get a lovely brand new hand care set for just £2...it's so pretty it looks a lot more expensive than it was!

I bought a £150 Xmas tree at homebase in January for £15.00 . Can't wait to put it up this year.

When does everyone put up the Christmas Tree?

For us, it always goes up the first day of advent (I.e December 1st) this year it falls on a Saturday so perfect:T

my ds1 would love those!

i personally dont rate m&s 'occasion' food, while ive never bought a turkey from there (we dont eat turkey :rotfl:) i have had a lot of the other stuff (pigs in blankets, sauces, roasties etc) and to be honest i think morrisons/tescos/asda etc is just the same!
we had a m&s buffet a couple of years ago at the inlaws on boxing day and my own buffet (made up from morrisons) on xmas eve was much better they even agreed.
i dont think its any better with it been the xmas range.

for the record, m&s's cumberland pie is delicious but thats just an everyday thing obviously and nothing to do with xmas
