finally i have managed to finish housework, have a bath & get into my snuggly new pjs & slippers. just waiting for kids to be ready for bed & then i can start on the baileys! still feeling quite rough, but determined to do some wrapping tonight even if its only a couple of bits!
forgot to mention all the lovely xmas craft kits tesco have in, all around £1, badges, cards, decorations etc, perfect for those of us having elves to stay, or maybe to put in xmas eve hampers :rudolf:

I saw in the Lidl leaflet that they have some Coffee syrups on offer this week as well

i read this thread a few times a week (sometimes daily) but it moves so fast that by the time i get to the end I never have time to post.

I am loving seseing all your 'makes' there are so many foody things I want to try and make this year, but it will have to wait until December.

Just wanted to say thanks to whoever posted the Lidl cellophane tip many, many pages back - I went in today and bought LOADS! Cheapest I have ever seen it - cheaper than most online places as postage normally bumps it up! :T

I make christmas eve hampers (6 to do this year) so I need a lot! and it is great for wrapping awkward presents.

You can buy those East of India stamps in John Lewis or Amazon. That's exactly what I am doing...using the stamps on plain luggage labels plus I've now bought jingle type bells from Poundland to add for decoration with the label. I've never been so excited about wrapping pressies before...will post pics when I have wrapped a few!

I've just been looking online at the offers on in my local Lidl at the mo. It's one place I never go to but am hoping to pop in this weekend. Has anybody seen the Xmas snow globes in store? They look lovely online, I also fancy some of the gold cherub candles on there.

Our Lidl is right next to Iceland which is another place I rarely go but after seeing the adverts on I'm a Celeb I'm hoping to pop in there too!

chirpychick and everyone else, I just got an email from Amazon (God knows why I have never used them). Anyway, it has a Black Friday Week starting Monday.
One of the offers was on Coffee Machines.
