I managed to get one of the M&S tree tins, my work mate was talking about it the other day and offered to get me one as her husband works there so I only paid £4. I think its lovely.. my other half not so much XD

So yesterday on my lunch break I popped next door to M&S to get the musical Christmas tin and one of the girls I work with looked at me crazy when I said I was popping into M&S on my lunch I explain about the amazing tin and she asked me to get her one too, so I did and when I returned and we showed another of the girls she decided she needed one too and our manager let her nip and get one!

Tuesday I went and bought some bits from aldi to help with packaging some presents

Have just entered my chocolate Slabs on the Festive Fivers Thread.

It is the only thing i have a picture of at the moment. May enter some more after my weekend of product making.

Got December Woman and Home AND December Ideal Home today in a twin pack for £4.99 in asda. Thats a saving of £2.31 on getting them separately.

They also have tins of Heros,Roses etc at £4 each.

Just wanted to say thankyou to everyone. I'm now on my way to creating a Christmas eve hamper for my 2 kiddies. So far, I have got:
* Christmas characters fro the ard factory
* Christams eve PJs from Primark
* Gingerbread house and cookie christmas tree kits from B&M
* a Christmas blanket from Primark
* a couple of Christmas stories to read before bedtime
Also plan on getting xmas DVD (anyone know the name of the new one that's due out?), popcorn/sweets, slippers and a Santa stop sign. Anything else????

I want to put it all in a nice Christmas box but can't find a christams themed one. The plan is to get a good quality one and then reuse it next year and so on.

Also, I'm thinking of making chocolate slabs for teachers/family. I'd like a Christmas shaped mould but struggling to find one below £5. Is that normal? If anyone can suggest somewhere...

To 'send' them in, I'm looking at cellophane. Do I need a roll or bags??? Best places to get them from????

Sorry for so many questions. I have ALWAYS loved Christmas and this year you have all got me really giddy with it. Thankyou :T

On My Own I cant keep up with all the crafty things you are doing! Im lucky if I manage at least 1 idea every now and then! Your chocolate slabs are on my list for this year, I have loads of choc, just need decoration bits and a mould of some kind (probly have something I can use knocking about in the kitchen)

Me and DS aged 3 both made new friends through his day nursery and today we met up at a soft play place that is within a huge church (cathedral house, huddersfield) and noticed they are having 'winter wonderland' - more than just a christmas market! I got so excited as Ive never been to anything like this before (never found anything so local before) so 8th Dec is in my diary :T it will go nicely with kirkwood hospice's 25th anniversary christmas fair at my local sports centre on the 18th Nov, cant wait!!

Said church also had a fun fair and firework display tonight so took my DD as she was the only one awake, or not poorly or not at her nans! Only spent about £15 in total (parking, admission, food) luckily its half term and I didnt want pressies being delivered this week so I had it to use! Need to order a mountain bike on Monday but then my 4 children are very nearly done....excluding extra bits they are gonna get because Im so organised
