That's a lovely offer Everyone is so kind on here its great to see. I'll keep that in mind the next time I need anything.. The parking always works out at more money than the petrol to Cardiff!

Does anyone know if Next have their Christmas decorations out yet?

:beer: totally agree with that, everyone here is so kind and thoughtful :T

I went in to Next yesterday and they had quite a bit out which wasnt there Monday, they had a couple of trees up with various decs, had the big fabric robins and the bark robin, fair few of the packs of little trees for tables, lights and candles and stuff - I got a beautiful glass tea light holder for £3 which is chunky glass (quite good size, not tiny) with gold reindeer and Christmas tree solouettes on it, I'm coverting the faux fur cushions, they are £16 but absolutely gorgeous!

I must admit to being sceptical as to whether they actually get there or not but hope they do - I take it they are syphoned off before they get to where they should be going?

The boxes do get there !

Every box is opened at the depot to make sure there is nothing inappropriate in them.
Whilst they are open the contents are redistributed. A lot of the boxes they get come from churches where the congregation is quite old. These boxes obviously do not have the same kind of thing we would put in them. So to make it fair to each child the boxes are repacked.

I fully understand why this is done, but it still takes away some of the joy I always felt making mine .

Yeah another Christmas Tree Yankee Candle Fan.

I have to admit I'm not a pine fan - is it a nice one? As I'd like to sniff it but I don't want a headache.


... I should get the tester (!)

I'm walking past Next lunchtime so I'll pop in and have a quick look.

Parking in St Davids 2 is yr best option - Never use the NCP's

I love the kindness among Christmas lovers

Completely didn't think to look in Next yesterday.. That tea light holder sounds lovely - I still have one I bought there last year in a snowflake print The cushions would have to be amazing to be £16 each!

I saw this on Tesco Direct yesterday...

They have tons of Christmas stuff up on the site! I did see a little blue stable on there too that you can buy separately.
