    oooh fab, thanks!! I asked on Monday at the till as there were none out, and the girl looked at me like I'd sprouted 3 heads and asked the woman at the next till rather loudly and dubiously ... then everyone turned and looked at me including the customer she was serving as though I'd sprouted 3 heads too ... so that's a no then?? :D:rotfl:

    some people are soooo Grinch!!:D

    I don't actually want to buy anything from Boots, I just love looking at Chrsitmas catalogues!! the M&S one is always lovely
  • Hubby going into Primark to hopefully get my throws today! *fingers crossed*. Vintage Queen I hope you get them!

    Has anyone got the Christmas hand towels from Dunelm? I absolutely love the Rudolph one but it isnt available for home delivery and the nearest store is 28 miles away, I can see somebody selling them on ebay and overall it works out £1.56 more than if Dunelm do get them in (they charge 1.99 + nearly £4 delivery whereas on ebay its 4.99 + 2.50 delivery) what is the quality like? it looks so nice Im tempted to get it from ebay so that I dont have to keep checking Dunelm, it would cost me 1.56 more but do you think it is worth getting?

    ive never bought from Dunelm but they look really good


    thanks!

    Hi snugglebunny just got back as caught the train into town I live in the country in the Middle of nowhere lol . Very dissapointed as practically leapt into primarni in my excitement to get to the christmas stuff but no Xmas fleeces !! No cushions !! And no Xmas pjs !!! Wah stamps feet :mad: I did however find some lovely slipper socks red and white with reindeers for £4 ( the long type ) they look lovely and warm I Also got some over the knee blk and white reindeer socks for dd and a lovely set of 3 red and white Xmas candles ( each candle is in a clear jar with Christmassy words on the front in red and white with a white candle set in the jar they are tied up with red and white Xmas ribbon . They also had the individual scented Xmas candles for a £1 each . I got a little cosmetic bag ( leopard print for sd as she's leopard print mad this year ! ) with a set of 3 glitter eye powder s and a set of 3 lip glosses they were both in leopard print packaging too the bag was £2 and the two make up sets were only a £1 sale price so nice little stocking filler .
    Then I headed for Wilkinsons and bought brown parcel paper and tags , pk of 10 red and white reindeers , snowflake etc wrap for £1 . Some ribbon red and white and raffia ribbon for my hampers :)
    Then I collected my boots gift guide :xmastree: so over all wasn't a wasted trip :T. Hope you are all having a nice afternoon I'm back in my little cottage now with a cup of hot choc :coffee: just about to flick through my boots guide is it too early to light the log burner I wonder :think:
  • Oh and I'm keeping my fingers crossed you get your fleece throws :D

    Tried to get the Sylvanian Bluebell cottage from Mr T but it's out of stock at minute. Asked for e mail alert so fingers crossed.
    Going into town today to look at fleeces at Prim*rk - there is a strong chance they may fall into my basket.
    The kids will go nuts as I have probably 8 large boxes of Christmas Decs but come the 1st Dec they will all be here pulling them all out and deciding on colour scheme for this year.
    I have also collected the Christmas star from Swarovski since 2000 and they take pride of place on the tree. Eventually I think that's all we will be able to hang.

    I hope you get the fleeces my primark had virtually no christmas stuff at all :(

    The last few posts have made up my mind for me and I am planning a wonder into town at the weekend to visit Primarni :) I saw the reindeer throws in another one last week but didn't get one as I was in a rush so hope my local one has them at the weekend :)
