Had a word with youngest DS and we have settled on hamper to include Rudolph Monopoly, snowman soups, poundl@nd snowflake mugs and three prim@rk onesies (they can argue who has which). Going to add choc coins etc. this will be the last of the presents I think, so we shall pop out now and tackle prim@rk

That sounds like a great plan pinksteps. I really hope someone buys me the reindeer monopoly (I collect them - monopoly boards I mean, not reindeer monopoly sets lol).

Afternoon all

Just got back from town, managed eventually to get in Primark, got DD1 some lovely jumbers, Fairaisle pattern with small reindeers on, lovely cream, pinks and greys, also both DD's some xmassy knitted leggings, DD2 picked a snowman jumper which is really cute. Only had an hours parking on the car, so didn't get chance to have a good look around. Although did see the xmas tea towels etc, we shall be taking another soon to get some of those. Wilkinson's had some lovely looking xmas bits, but again didn't have time to have a proper look.

Saw the mugs in the 99p shop even DD1 picked up that "Rudolf" was spelt incorrectly!

Thought I was so clever resisting wanting the Rudolph Monopoly. Have now discovered there's a Doctor Who one and DESPERATELY NEED IT.

The 50th anniversary edition is on Amazon. But it's almost £30!
I haven't looked around yet for a cheaper one, but hopefully there'll be one somewhere.
