❄❄ Let It Snow ❄❄ :: Christmas 2012 Chatter Thread

ReformedShopaholic

Wow that's a lot of pages to catch up on!
Been AWOL for a little bit, still reading just no posting. (Distracted by piñata making and the Kindle I got for my birthday :j)

Today I sorted out the massive box of presents in our spare bedroom, everything is now in its own plastic bag with names on. I don't want to wrap yet as 1)I can't find any tags I like and 2) did it early last year and then didn't feel christmassy.

Also bought one of OH presents. So now have one for him and two for his stocking-which we have yet to buy since this will be our first year having them.

Hello to more newbies and hope everyone is well xx:rudolf:

The big Tesco near us has gotten rid of all its Halloween stuff and put Christmas trees and decorations out to go with the aisle of food already out.

Ive been searching for kids themed cardboard storage boxes ( I hope that makes sense its the best way to describe them lol) Ive checked on ebay but the only suitable one is a large one and nothing to match for my nephew. Anyone know of any decent shops that are likely to sell these?

The Works used to have kids themed boxes for £10 for 2 boxes. They're quite sturdy & used I have quite a few themes although not sure what their themes are like now.

They still have boxes like this but like I said, not sure if they have themes still but worth a look in a shop!

I was so tempted to treat myself to Buble's Christmas album last year but didn't.

Care to give me a tip off or two of which are the best songs on there?

I like Perry Como, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole christmas songs. It's from being at my Grandma's. i just can't shake it. There's songs that as soon as I hear I grin from ear to ear. OOOOOOh I wanna go listen now!

Definitely get it, it's fab (although I'm a bit of a Buble preacher I've liked him that long :rotfl:). Funnily enough, I think Ave Maria is my least favourite song (but I don't like any version) but love the rest . If you like the rat pack, you'll like Buble!

Off I go to listen to Michael Buble Ava Maria sample. Thank you

I love Buble but have ever admitted it to anyone. Toddles off singing "I just haven't met you yet"

Looks like theres a deluxe edition being released for this Christmas

I like let it snow and the christmas song

Are these any good?? £6.99, or 2 for £10. There were lots in my local 'The Works' but postage is only 99p.

I am going to Ikea and Lakeside Shopping Centre in the morning.

You would think me, dd and my best friend had never been shopping before.

We have all had our baths are in our pjs. (BF is at her house, we're texting).

But even sadder than that, we all have our outfits out ready
And we all know what the other 2 are wearing

Seriously, it's like being 15 again :rotfl:
(Well dd is) but me and bf are definitely not :rotfl:

I AM SO EXCITED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am doing that on Saturday :j I'm going with a couple of friends to Southampton.

Don't forget to join the "Ikea Family" before you go (you can print off a temporary membership card) then you can use the discount vouchers Martin has on the main shopping page (£5 off £20, £10 off £60 etc)
