Had a very productive day, 30 minutes on the train and arrived at Let it Snow heaven - Wilkinsons, Home Bargains, B&M, Dunelm Mill and Primark!!!! Safe to say my arms are aching from all the things I bought B&M definately the best place I went to today, lots of Christmassy items, including 59p festive mugs, lots of purples and pinks and blues - the colours I am using this year. Wasn't overly impressed with Wilkes and Dunelm Mill, not a big selection but I think this is probably due to the volume of halloween stock. I think another trip out in November is necessary!! Todays bargains are mostly festive food items, Paxo sage & onion stuffing 29p, ocean spray whole cranberry sauce 65p and Bisto turkey gravy 59p, all bbe mid 2013. Oh and got strawberry candy canes!!!! Also pack of 3 Thomas the tank toddler pants (2 year old DN is going to be potty trained soon!) Happy Christmas planning x x x

Just out of interest, does anyone have a 12yo boy to buy for? OH has just got in contact with his step brothers (12 and 16) and they are a nightmare to buy for - no idea where to even start espcially with 12yo as too old for kids stuff, and too young for teen/adult stuff.

Ive bought OHs nephew (think hes 17 now) a Game voucher for years now, I hate buying vouchers for anyone else but I hardly know him and figure he'd rather that than something he's not into! As so many GAME shops have shut down now Im going for an Amazon voucher this year! You can get it delivered in the form of a physical voucher in a lovely card for no extra than the amount of the voucher.

pinknfluffy28-Thought of another film-Percy Jackson and the lightning thief! It is REALLY good. DS loves it and so do I. Cant wait til the next one thats out next year. For some reason its really expensive from Amazon but if you look at the other sellers you can get it new for under £3! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Percy-Jackson-The-Lightning-Thief/dp/B002KKBLJW/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1350855311&sr=8-9 (reminds me actually that I want to get me, um I mean DS the books. )

littlemschatabox-Thanks for posting the link to the LETITSNOW garland, I think we should all get one. http://www.marksandspencer.com/LET-SNOW-Garland-Christmas-Decoration/dp/B003Z63ZIA

LMAO Mr Northman is a big chap (anyone read the books? Phwwoaarrr) - plenty of him for us all ;-)

Which is probably why DH cant stand me watching True Blood, it's my little treat when I get home first.

Btw, if anyone is interested in buying the True Blood books - best place is The Works, £14.99 for all 8? and number 9 is out this coming May, wooooooo!!!!!!!

I never actually eat candycanes, I just hang them on the tree and use them to decorate. I shall have to remedy that this year I think.

I love Percy Jackson & The Lightening Theif - ace film and fab effects, not to mention a good cast including Uma Thurman really hope they do a sequel and might put the books on my Christmas list to Santa x :santa2::xmastree:
