Hello all,

Been working on the factory floor for the past two days (and tomorrow too) so haven't had time to catch up on the thread, I don't even want to look how many pages I need to read. :eek:

Last night, I ordered 10 christmassy dvds for just under £20. We used to have loads, then one year we couldn't find them. Think people borrowed and never returned. :mad:

Also sis has told me what she, BIL and neice 1 want, neice 2 wants EVERYTHING she sees on tv.:rotfl:

Catch up with all the chat on Saturday whilst DH is at the footy xxx

Oh what a day. Where to start !

Went into Boots in my (very rare) lunch break to get catalogue and came across the most beautiful keyrings from Mcmillan for £2 each. They are little envelopes with 'I Love' on the front. If I work out how to use photobucket, I will show you. Anyway got 5 to put inside cards as a little extra gift.

EDIT you can also get 'I Hope' and 'I Dream'

Thanks for all the feedback on my toy notepads.
Reserved the 2 toys on Argos ,one collection today or tomorrow,one collection the 10th or 11th.:mad::mad:
So 2 trips to Argos for me. I know I can just keep reserving one until the 10th, but that seems like more aggro than going down twice.

Went to MrTs after work to stock up, but I really just wanted to get home and only got the basics, so will need to go shopping again.
They have lots of DVDs in for £5, so got DD ' The Wizard Of Oz' as we went to see it at the London Palladium in August and she loved it.
They also have lots of gift sets 342, including Baylis and Harding. (Think I remember someone saying they loved it about 1,000,000 pages ago):rotfl:

Had been in 5 minutes when a very nice Italian man from Love Films knocked at the door . I now have 3 months membership for the price of 1 (£7.99). It ends on the 4th Jan. So we have Movies all over Christmas :j:j:j They have all the new releases like sky movies, and I can stream them as my TV is also a monitor. :j:j

Am feeling a little better today , but my chest feels a bit tight, so am hoping it is not an injection, as I am prone to them.:(

Really can't decide when to go to Ipswich. I don't want to go and find Primark have nothing in, but then I don't want leave it too late.
I know, I know, IT IS ONLY THE 4th OCTOBER :rotfl: But I do get worried about missing these things.:o

Ive just opened my full change tin (can opener style) and have £34.00 :Talthough a little less as I need to change it at a coinstar at sains but still, I need all the help I can get this month, I wanted to buy the remaining 2 main pressies but my sister has just found out she has got the 31st off work...we were planning to go to Blackpool pleasure beach (if she got the day off) as they do a special Halloween night, at 4pm it turns into Vampire beach So thats £150ish to budget for (theres me and 4 kids + petrol + food, which will be pack up!) ah well.....

Luckily Newcastle match is on tv cos just took me about 2 hrs to catch up & think DH might have realised I was on computer so long if not so engrossed in tv.

Really sorry cant remember who asked but for the 14 year old typical moody teenager what about a magazine subscription or maybe an mp3 player (can get them really cheap if look around) most teens like music (style of music wouldnt chance with).

Got a few more sweets for retro hamper, poundland now doing packs of sherbet fountains and rainbow drops.

Text family members saying:- cold outside, october has arrived & x factor on tv so officially not too early to ask for xmas requests only got one response which was from sister for a mirrored jewellery box so if anyone spots a good one (usually spend about £25) plse let me know.

Thanks to who ever mentioned about claires accessories 3 for 2 got my 2 dd's a magic hello kitty towel/flannel each for £1.00 and s helo kitty necklace lip blam necklace = free great stocking fillers.

Just a quick search but these caught my eye initially - Hestia range on Amazon.
I just think they loook so much nicer then plain mirrored.



or these are pretty if you'd like to personalize it.

I got a lovely mirrored jewellery box (3 drawer type) in Homebase, 1/2 price down to £12.50 - was quite a while ago, but worth a look.

Don't know if it will be any help, after being extremely jealous of the 'Reindeer Monopoly'!! I went into my local Home Bargains today and they had 'Reindeer Scene It DVD' for £3.99, has a similar box to the Monopoly.

Sorry I can't post a link but if you type it in google it shows you from there :-)

Might be a nice pressie for someone!

HTH :-)


I am still religiously lurking around here, just never post :-(


Hope everyone is doing well xxx

I don't have a home bargain store near me but went online and had a look but they only had the twilight scene it it was only £4.99 if anyone has a daughter or niece who's into twilight ? I will keep having a look to see if the reindeer ones there :rudolf:
