Ikea do one.

I'm sure they used to do two different sizes, but I can only find this one. I bought one a couple of years ago but it's too big for a trifle really - so I just fill it with sweets.

wow they're getting cheaper, LOL! I don't have an Ikea nearby but when DH gets a job (please be soon!) we will be going to replace the falling apart furniture in the children's bedrooms so will pick one up then. Thanks!

Also any ideas for chirstmas eve hampers for 11 dd,8 ds and 2 dd?
Apart from my normal pj's, dressing gown, slippers, lush bombs/bubble bars,choccies etc
Wanted something a bit different as i think the older 2 are getting bored of them lol

I'm going to put an annual each in mine, so they can have a read. DS will probably get Dr Who and DD the Brownies one.

Hi, after reading/lurking on here, and seeing the rudolf scene it mentioned, i just had to have it:D (for the kids obviously:D) so ive now got it but we havent seen the film:(
Ive looked on ebay but it seems to be the older version, does anyone know which dvd matches the game

It looks like Rudolph and the island of misfit toys. You can get it very cheaply on ebay as they gave it away in the daily mail at some point and there lots of those for sale.
Edit: Im talking about the one with the red cover above but after looking I think its actually this one. http://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=7321905953851

Possession-Hope your DH has good luck on the job front soon. OH was made redundant and was out of work for over a year and it does feel like nothing will ever come along! It did eventually though so Im sure something great is just around the corner.

I posted a list of what I put in DS's a few pages back, Perhaps you could steal a few idea's off that? I do put quite a lot in it
I could go wild with a two year old! Theres so many great cheap xmas things for young kids.
Do you get them a christmas movie to watch? The 11 year old might not want to watch something kiddie like , like the other two will so maybe for her you could get her something a bit more grown up to watch when the littler one have gone to bed?

You know, I never even considered the fact that me and DS haven't seen the bloody movie!!! :eek:

Has everyone else seen it?
I suppose I will have to find a copy of it otherwise it will be £4.99 down the drain . Pffft, Why didn't I think of this earlier! :rotfl:

Sorry for the double post but I've only just seen this post, Can anyone who has got the game already confirm that this is the right movie for the game?
If it is I'll order it now from the link posted

Went in Argos in my lunch break ( would like to say popped in , but 25 mins for a reserved item is not popped anything:mad:). Anyway they have all their 2013 annuals half price. There were stacks of them as you queue up.

:mad:Went In Wilkinsons to get Gift Guild, to be told it had been put back to Friday. They have them there, they just can't give them out :mad:

On a happier note. I collected my fur tree from Next. It will look lovely in DDs room .:xmastree:

Also got some candy canes in the 99p shop for Snowman Soup. I have NO IDEA who I am making them for, but HoHoHo who cares.:snow_laug:snow_laug

I'm joining in !!

I love Christmas ( but hate the fact my birthday is on the 20th as it doesn't feel special).

I have three gifts in already for my two nieces and my nephew, all bought in the argos 3for2 - two furbies and a bounce and spin zebra.

Don't have kids of my own (yet!) so it's just me, bf, puppy and cat in the house but I still want it to be magical !!

I think I will do the Christmas pot - I love the smell of Christmas. Any other ideas to jazz up our home will be welcome. Last Christmas we had not long moved in and did put a tree up and some other things but the decor wasn't 'ours' then.

Kemo these would be lovely in a cosy night in hamper - might be a bit pricey though? Perhaps have a search for a cheaper brand ? My mum was given some last year and they were lovely.

Hello everyone by the way - been reading this thread for weeks but 1st post here!

I bought something similar called mystical fire.

(Maybe cheaper elsewhere)
