Hi guys where can I get matey bubble bath from quite cheaply please?? Looked on eBay but it was pretty expensive!!

Mysupermarket shows Asda as the cheapest at £1.20 each. HTH.

Found these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-X-HELLO-KITTY-ROUND-TIN-CHRISTMAS-TREE-BAUBLES-MARSHMALLOWS-INSIDE-BNWT-/160905516519?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Celebrations_Occasions_ET&hash=item2576b755e7 in poundland today, Hello Kitty or Disney Princess. Much cheaper than the £2.50 or so that BHS are doing them for.

Saw some panettone in lidl today, no price sorry, didn't know anyone was after any. Also saw kilner style jars in Robert Dyas.

Finally found my chocolate shower gel in another town so bought some anyway! Managed to find Christmas Eve yankee votive in Clintons so pleased with that too.

Miss Linky I love it I'm almost famous now that I feature in your signature woo hooo go girl. Your chocolate slabs look fab too. No I have a query which may stretch your organisation! Have you come across any labels suitable for "compare the meerkat" jars? I've got the meerkat sweets ready(B&M) jars ready too but no labels:(
Kayandy I'm so sorry for your family's loss. You all have been through it this year haven't you. You are inspirational in your quest to make Christmas special for those around you but please remember to be kind to yourself too:)
Welcome newbies, pull up a chair, the kettles on:)
I bobbed into Primarni Manchester today not been in for ages and they've reorganised in my absence- I do wish they'd consult me first- I couldn't find anything. Did manage to find the famous Christmas throw- gorgeous- for one of my Christmas Eve hampers ( tempted tho to keep it for us)
Picked a few bits up too for the homeless charity I've decided to to a gift box for. We've almost done now and are so very fortunate its a tiny way to give something back. It's getting so very cold at nights I really feel for those poor souls living rough. xxx

No I haven't, but could you just use a picture ?

Just 'save as' them to your pc then print them off from there.
Just remember to click the picture and not the page.

I also hate it when shops move stuff around. A quick pop in to get A, ends up a long haul to get A .:mad:
They think I will buy B,C and D, while looking for A, but they are wrong.:rotfl:

I think is was very inconsiderate of them not to consult with you first. :rotfl:
They don't know how busy you may be, and how much time you have to look for A.:rotfl:

Thank you I knew you'd be able to help. X

Try and get some sleep night night xxx

I've just finished reading The Christmas Train by David Baldacci.

Some of the blurb on the back describes it as ".....part detective story, part disaster movie, part romance, this is a brilliant, heart-warming holiday tale" http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Christmas-Train-David-Baldacci/dp/0330412701

It was predictable in parts and very different from his usual crime/thrillers but I liked it - a bit like a soppy film; not real life but enjoyable.

My parents are here for a few days so I need to get wrapping my nephews' pressies and they can take them back with them, as we're all spending xmas with them. It will be nice to get some wrapped and out of the house.
Going to do a shop at Aldi today so I need to inspect their xmas goodies.
