am so glad you are ok and everything is going well Chirpychick!

Own My Own thank you! I kept thinking how lovely it looked but hasnt realised it rotated and played Deck The Halls! so you have to take the biscuits out and then use it empty?

I second the 'Glad your Ok Chirpychick'

Yes it would appear it would have to be used empty. I do love it, but really wanted to keep using it. So I don't know if I am going to get one.:undecided

Hi everyone Just to let you all know, my DD bought me one of the gorgeous musical rotating biscuit tins from M & S last year, no you don't have to take the biscuits out, it works ok with them in, and is soooo cute!!! I can't wait to get mine back out

Has anyone seen any nice toadstool decs? I've seen a few felt ones but am looking for red & white glass ones preferably. Absolutely love these ones from Cargo but don't love the price so much and am hoping to spot a cheaper alternative:

These are SLIGHTLY cheaper.

I almost bought them myself this year, they're so cute.

Well I bought DD2 some Christmas PJ's from Primark on Friday and came home to find a £10 gift voucher for Argos that I had forgotten I was due. I've ordered a Christmas doormat so will pick it up tomorrow. B&Q have my dad's car care stuff on 3 for 2 so I've used the rest of a B&Q card I had to order some stuff and I'll pick it up tomorrow. Need to think of some more stuff to put in his hamper. I'm watching Santa Clause 3 with the children and I've got one of my Yankee Candles going. If I could only stop the children from arguing!!!!

Just made a great big batch of fudge, am going to try freezing it to try to get ahead of things, use it for teachers and DD's friends along with snowman soup, if it doesnt freeze well I'll just make another batch, of course by the time its cooled and DH and DD's have had a bit (of course I wouldn't dream of sneaking some;)) there may not be a lot left.

I thought I might add some into the Snowman soup packs, so part chocolate, part fudge and then some Xmas marshmallows at the top.

Oh, also picked up the Tesco Christmas Gift Guide this morning, not had chance to look at it yet though.

Hi that was me . Thank you it did upset me especially when they just burnt the wood it seemed just a pointless thing . They have bought more land to the left of them and looks like the will be opening out into the field next to them too. Looks like a building site at the mo Electric gates is the next thing they are doing with remote controls . The silly thing is the cottages are tiny so the new shed they are putting up will probably look bigger then the cottage

I am trying not to judge we did pop out yesterday to say hello but they weren't very friendly to be honest only time will tell :think:

Living nextdoor to an ugly building site doesn't sound great but thankfully it's the 'indoorsy weather' time of year so hopefully you can shut it all out and forget about it while you cosy up inside

It's lovely that you did the neighbourly thing and say hello though - so many people don't seem to bother being friendly with their neighbours these days. Maybe yours are just shy or not used to it....either way finger-crossed they'll settle in soon.

I just watched Christmas in Connecticut! I quite liked it. Couldn't believe how many famous actors were in a TV movie.
And, it was quite a surprise when I saw who the director was, I can tell you.
