PrincessKitty Im the same, so tempting to keep going isnt it!? I wasnt going to go but as hubby said he'd drop me and bring me back it seemed like it was meant to beeeee! ok flimsy excuse! suddenly thought I 'need' them for my sleighs, DS and next door ...honest! truth is I hate to miss out on a great bargain! the only thing I will allow myself now is if M&S do the £10 champagne offer again, other than that NOTHING ELSE!

hold me to that!

hope you get some!

Oh and well done on being finished, i'm looking forward to that day (hopefully before the end of Nov) so that I can just put my feet up, relax and enjoy Christmas! I've already put a couple of local events on my calendar in December including a Christmas market, carols by candlelight and late night shopping where they close the high street to cars, have lots of stalls as well as a procession led by Santa and the Christmas lights being switched on! Can't wait!

that sounds lovely! need to put kids school fairs, local lights switch on etc in as well as local hospice fair into dirary, its so easy to be rushing and miss those things isnt it? our local high street area closes on Sundays in December and they have fairs, stalls etc ...I only go for the hot donuts:o:D:cool:

Thanks for the choc tree dec suggestions, would never have thought of those

I'm sure most people on here buy more things than they should, we'll be monitoring your future shopping closely snugglebunny!

Wow your local high street sounds great! I absolutely love the smell of those freshly cooked doughnuts. Oops I think i'm starting to dribble....

Asda have some decorations in their home baking section that are like shiny crystals. (bit like chunky glitter really, I use it instead of glitter for reindeer food) They do all different colours.

So looking forward to saturday night my dd3 is singing with the drifters on stage which are christmas songs too so im bound to feel even more xmasy after that!

Don't know if this is the right place. I have a ticket for entry to the Ideal Home chritmas show in London next week (free in my mag) but I will be unable to use it. If anyone wants it please pm me and I will send it.

*Louise* i'm sure it's going to be really exciting doing a craft fayre! Right in the hubbub of it all! It must be really satisfying people buying your lovely gifts.

cbsexec unfortunately I can't make the Christmas Ideal Home Show but that is a lovely offer to everyone. It would be shame to waste it so good idea!

That reminded me that I bought Look magazine yesterday and it had a free £10 Oasis gift card in it. I thought there would be a catch like you have to spend £30 or something but it appears it is just £10 off what you buy. Although i'm sorry if i'm wrong as I only had time to quickly skim read it! Not bad if i'm right as the mag only cost £1.80 and it's great if you've got your eye on something or want a new Christmas outfit.

Have spent most of this morning trying to avoid spending (too much) money on the Cooks Kitchen website. There's some FAB stuff on there. Think I need to re-mortgage :rotfl:

Definitely worth a look if people need few ideas for themselves or others (or themselves :rotfl:)
