Think it was mrs drink that said so scary the night the forum was down! I kno it was awful I couldn't believe it - and woke a few times through the night to check- still off- I needed to chatter! I have a feeling we might well have "crashed" the site:)
OMO I'm so impressed with your organisation - 2013 present list I'm just gonna put a list up and let you be my personal shopper:)
Vintage I think your 'blonde' moments from earlier this week must have known there was trouble brewing. Lets hope your new neighbours are nice people even tho they have NO taste!!! ( ask them if they are Christmas people- it seems to be a good way to judge:)

I'm skint skint skint for a few more days:( need a trip to HB, Wilkos, Matalan and Primani with a list

I'm thinking of - even tho she's officially done- doing my DD a little chocolate hamper - with nothing edible as she's doing SW. That way she can still have her choccie x

Yayy watching Love Actually, certainly bringing some christmas cheer to me while Im searching the internet for gift ideas & price matching!

May I just point out - the chocolate shower gel from body shop is the best thing ever - and it's fab for people with sensitive skin - I have psoriasis and it doesn't bother it a bit. And it smells amazing! It is £4 though, but if you can get it on one of the many body shop offers I highly recommend it.

caught up! am taping Christmas in Connecticut on True movies later, was intrigued by the synopsis on here!

been naughty - again! got email from Mr T to say the 2.5ft fibre optic colour change Christmas tree is back in stock, its £14.95 but they are so much more expensive elsewhere Ive ordered one free to store, Ive always wanted one! also ordered the 12 piece nativity set of ornaments, they are wooden according to info and are only 2.97

also picked up the Christmas Tree green pillar candle in S'burys, I know I'd only be able to resist once, it smells wonderful!

Did anyone else get the vouchers from S'burys in the post? the £8 off £40 shop for 6 weeks ones? they have been so useful, Ive been adding crackers, nibbles, chocolates etc to my weekly shop up to value of £8 so really getting them free, ive got 3 more vouchersfor next 3 weeks, so may get a bottle of wine each week to put away with those. Am slightly unsure why they would do that October to mid November though, wouldnt it be better to have done it mid November to Christmas? unless they are sending more!

Oh the tree sounds lovely very well priced . Will you let us know how it looks hen it comes ? :xmastree:

That's awful. For some reason there's hardly anything that makes me more upset than people cutting down trees. Especially ones that have probably been there longer than they've been alive. It always seems so selfish and egotistical to think that your garden design whims are more important than a seventy year old tree. Grr. Am getting annoyed.

I feel the same my OH just didn't get it at all . The worse thing is they just burnt the wood on a bonfire what a waste !! I thought about asking for the wood as we have a log burner ( the silly thing is so do they !!! ) but chickened out
