❄❄ Let It Snow ❄❄ :: Christmas 2012 Chatter Thread

I have almost finished writing my cards, and almost finished wrapping my gifts :j

My husband has two gifts on their way from the UK and once they're wrapped he's done, and my daughter's are not at all wrapped yet. But other than that just call me Missis Christmas it's been a lovely day, too.

I can not believe the prices of that m&s food.. seriously. 24 sausage rolls for £12? why not get some puff pastry and make your own with little star shapes on.. heck of a lot cheaper. as for the rest of it :S

Oooh star shaped sausage rolls?! Amazing! You have got the cogs in my brain turning now and I have to make some!! Thanks.

You'll be pleased to hear we have 3 B&M stores in Sheffield City Centre, Heeley Retail Park and Meadowhall Retail Park

HTH

Woohoo! :j I don't really know what the stores are like but after all the chatter on here i'm desperate to go to one! :rotfl:Thank you for letting me know.

Well I popped to Poundland at lunch even though it started raining as soon as I left the office - I wasn't going to let a bit of rain get in the way of me and Christmas shopping! I was a bit disappointed as they didn't have loads out but I managed to get a few foodie bits for people: Toblerone for my dad, drumstick lollies for my OH's stocking, ground coffee for my coffee mad friend which I will put in a Christmas mug (the coffee, not my friend! :rotfl:), Haribo sweets for a film hamper and some novelty rubber gloves as one of the gifts for my pass the parcel game i'm doing for my annual dinner party.

I quickly popped into M&S and had a look at some of their Christmas range, lovely but some bits were quite pricey.

I'm just excited now to get to Asda tonight! :T

Hi, long time lurker. Some of the onesies have feet. for the girls, its a pink "moooooody cow" one, and the boys is a shark one with fins (its for the over 3's, the younger ones have feet too!), but I only have a small primark so there may be others, but they sold pretty fast.

Do they not have chrismassy onsies, with reindeer or similar on?

Need to get some more pennies so can carry on with my presents haha I also have to update my list as no idea where I'm up to!! Think I might do this today as I'm full of a cold so need cheering up

on the subject of our little feathered friend the turkey....where do people get theres from.

I had spoke to a local farmer at a market a while a go and he quoted me £120 for a turkey (free range, kelly bronze) which for 2 adults and 1 child seemed crazy :eek: so last year we ended up with a large crown from Iceland for approx £14?? which was more than enough. My mam got a small crown preorder in morrisons for silly money and it wasn't worth the money at all. This year we have 4 adults and 1 child so Im not sure what to do.

I also do an xmas ham either cooked in gingerbeer or cherry coke which is always yummy. Sounds odd but its gorgeous!
