Hello all,

Have been reading all the posts with glee and now my horrid OU exam is the out of the way it's Christmas planning time!

For the person looking for santa days out in the south east we always go to wingham wildlife park a couple of weeks before Christmas, just outside canterbury. They have penguins, reindeer, elves, santa and all sorts of other lovely animals. Makes a really good day out.

Hope that helps.

I also need ideas for a day out but up north.

have done something christmas eve last few years with sis and her family but struggling a bit at what to do this year.

Planning on goin to see santa at beamish weekend before christmas as ticket from last year will still be valid then so didnt really want to visit the big guy again. Priced pantomime but thats gonna work out about £18 each and theres 9 of us so didnt really want to spend that much especially as probs only 2 days after beamish.

Any suggestions fellow northerners?

Went to primark today & they seem to be getting lots of new stuff in, had absolutley loads of gorgeous pj's got some for myself with farisle fleece bottoms and red long sleeved top, got hubby some blue fleece bottoms with stars on (which he'll probs hate, not really a pj type bloke) and a mr christmas t shirt for xmas eve hamper.
Got dd's a mini unicorn pillowpet £2.50each (they got the big ones last year) and got red table cloth & white runner with red snowflakes and reindeer on, not actually at home for dinner but can still make the table xmassy.:snow_laug
