Hi All,

Hope you are all well.

Just bought some Christmas decs and crackers from Past Times on their 3 for 2 offer. Everything in their Christmas category including snow globes, crackers etc is 3 for 2 when you enter code XMAS342 at checkout.

Thanks for the code I love pastimes :T

Hope you are feeling more cheery now :snow_laug. I have been worrying myself about money issues ( me and my OH have 6 children between us ) so it's always tight but coming on this site reminds me of the true spirit of christmas. Thanks guys :rudolf:

Did find Orange and Cinnamon though:)

The only place I saw it was Boots.

You can order it online and have it delivered to a store for free.

With regards to teh bags in IKEA i saw them last time I was in didnt pay much attention but a decent size

Now thinking they woudl be useful for the 7(!) teahers/helpers I will haev to buy for for my sons playgroup!

Actually does this sound ok as a wee token gift:- handmade memo pegs with a coordinated mini handbag (Same material used for pegs and bags) with a few choc in it? Total cost about 54p each! Bought the chocs (Elisabeth Shaw mints in the sale) cheap pack of wooden pegs and I have loads of paper/sparkles/gems in my craft box

IKEA HERE I COME :snow_laug:snow_laug:snow_laug:snow_laug

Ds forgets I have sometimes get Wednesdays off now. (Always used to work them).

He came down asked what I was doing here. I told him
' It's my day off, I'm doing the housework then when dd finishes school we were going to Colchester for the 6th form open evening. And we're going to Home Bargains, Asda, Dunelm Mill, and if we have time Matalan !'

He started to look horrified and said 'CALM DOWN !':rotfl:

I sometimes forget he has asd and can't cope with quick excitable speech.:o

EDIT- Mum just phoned to say a parcel has been delivered :j It is my Glee Christmas CD. Am going to pick it on the way out this afternoon, so we can have it on in the car.:j

morning!

hope job interview goes well!

went to S'burys to do food shop early, very quiet in the toy sale but no banners or anything outside so doubt people knew! there was lego 30% off, some 30% off Moshi Monsters stuff and lots of smaller childrens toys 25-50% off, I wanted Monopoly Revolution but nothing on the shelf. They did have normal Monopoly 1/3 off ... at £10! its already £7.70 delivered on Amazon!

I agree, don't really need anything, was looking for my nephew and neighbours little ones if anything but not much really for them. They have Nerf stuff 30% off as well but think it's still cheaper on amazon

Getting there quickly - welld one on your weight loss, that's fab! :T

*Twinkle* - congrats on your new baby, how exciting!

aliaslotte - good luck, I hope your interview goes well! I've got my fingers crossed for you.

I was browing on ebay yesterday and found this:

I really love it! I'm going to wait until next year when we're married and then get one with our family name on for next Christmas! I think there are quite a few on ebay, I haven't had time yet to see if there's any cheaper.

Also, thank you to the person that posted the link to the Studio blankets and cushions (sorry it was pages ago), i've ordered them and i'm waiting for them to arrive!

The apostrophe on that sign's wrong, surely? Or am I grammatically challenged?

I did two mystery shopping assignments on the weekend for local cinemas and was able to buy £14 worth of pick n mix. As they are all sugar and wont go off I'm going to put some in the childrens' stockings. Has anybody seen any nice, small containers that I can put the sweets in that will fit in the stockings? x
