Hi Picnmix please can I ask where you got your elf from?

HI, got it from Build A Bear Workshop online, they had a 25% code to be used by 18th, am going to get the Elf on the Shelf DVD from Sainsbury's to go with it. HTH

Made it back in 1 piece! Did well, Debenhams had 20% sale so got a hoodie for my brother and best friends hubby. Also couple of tree presents for my Mum. Then onto Hobbycraft to get fabric to make gingerbread men with my nieces. Took a sneaky photo of some in a shop that I thought looked cute, but we can make them when they come for stay. I love Hobbycraft but need to be dragged out. I MAY even wrap some stuff tonight or write my cards whilst watching Strictly.
I feel a bit of on line shopping coming up as too many people shopping gives me a the hump!
The Sensations are £2.15 for 3 bags in Co Op and my son wokes there so I be discount too ...

Anyone seen the show 'Can't Cook,Won't Cook'

I am just Can't Cook. Can't Cook :rotfl:

I set the timer wrong an over done the Mincemeat Swirls :mad:

Every time I touch the truffle mix it goes to goo in my hands :mad:

I am sticking with what I am good at. Folding, cutting and gluing card:D

Just watched Cupid Christmas on YouTube to make me feel better.

Dd is getting me some Dove Soap in town. I am just hoping grating and mixing it with water IN THE KITCHEN does constitute Cooking, and it goes OK .:rotfl:

Hey guys,

Not sure if its been posted yet as I am still 10 pages behind - feel like I always am... But just wanted to update on a few things I have bought/seen that might help somebody out.

I went to Lidl and Iceland on Friday and got;
Lidl - cellophane 10m for 99p, haven't opened it but looks good
2 for £4 on christmas ribbons, great designs and all ribbons are 5 metres so I thought that was a great deal.
I did want to get the candles, 6 for £2.99 but I couldn't decide so i got none.
In Iceland - tin of Fox biscuits for £4 - bargain
box of Jacobs crackers for £2 - the 8 biscuit variety, currently £3 in Asda.

I keep looking on H&M website for those aprons, keep missing out on them. I really want on, in any variety, I have one of their aprons and they are really lovely.

I have made some felt decorations for my tree, I will take a photo and post it. Thanks to this thread it is keeping the crafting christmas side alive.

I love this thread! Am determind to spend less this year and not have a huge bill in January. Have just downloaded Have Yourself a Very Thrifty Christmas from Amazon. Will let you know if it's any good!

Got my elf on the shelf today, I haven't bought the official one because I begrudge paying over the odds because its so close to Xmas so we got a reindeer from mothercare, he has long legs and a Santa hat on looks a lot like a elf so is perfect!
Will put his hamper together for dec 1st with his elf, advent calendar, letter from Santa to tell him about the elf, Christmas pj's and a wintery book. So excited!

Sorry didn't realise it was buy 1 get 2 free at Co-Op, they are cheaper than Tesco so will go there. Thanks
