M&S christmas range here.

no food that I can see tho and only found it by googling (other search engines are available) "M&S christmas 2012" so looks as if it's hidden link wise from the homepage until their sale has finished.

another search and I think the christmas food will be here but it's not connecting to it yet.

I've just got my Christmas cards out to sort through. Luckily I had a mystery shopping job on today in a card shop so I was able to pick up some more stuff and I picked up some lovely Xmas Forever Friends wrapping paper as well.

Oooh what have you got in mind?

Just some naughty things like pinching out of the advent calendar, going on the trampoline, unwrapping a present etc. My kiddies are only 2 and 3 (nearly 4) so even simple things will astound them lol. I was thinking of putting him in the car one night too haha

Re- Oil bottles.
NO GOOD. Why is it when you want something a bit cheap they are good quality, and vise versa with that shop. The labels are somehow printed on the glass. I have tried everything to get them off. Even sandpaper. That got it off but scratched the glass.
I think paint stripper might work, but by the time you have bought that you may as well buy dearer bottles.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.:(

:)Have started my Blackjack Vodka. It is a nice dirty dish washer colour at present.:rotfl:

The "Flavoured Vodka" thread has some useful suggestions on where to get bottles:

I can get a £10 voucher from shop and scan but I know whichever I choose will be the wrong one for my next shopping trip lol.

Possession

The cheapest way to get bottles for vodka is to buy either mini wine bottles (pick ones without writing on the screwtop) or vinegar bottles. Or even value ketchup bottles. Up to you whether you actually use the contents!
