Well, LIDL was ok...ish...I got two of the silicone Christmas baking moulds, though I am not absolutely sure why I got them(!)...also picked up some cheap Ferraro rocher for a gift, but that was it. Didn't see any cellophane!

Oooh Snugglebunny you make me smile. Are you the first of our merry bunch to decorate?
Thank you so much lovelies my DSiL made some brill improvements over night last night and they were hopeful of reducing some sedation, oxygen today. They've not managed that but will try again tomorrow. So all good signs at last. She is still very very poorly but fighting:) Bless her she is such a darling

!I've been nonstop chattering Christmas chatter to her for days- well the early hours of Sunday morning when she became critical. Think I've probably knackered her out !
Princesskitty I totally agree our cyber family have made such a difference it's really hard to believe. Your kind words and well wishes mean such a lot, we've helped each other through some tough times over the last few months:) So huge thank yous to you all xxx
FF I'm loving hearing all about your makes:) well done you.
JJ welcome aboard:) this is such a lovely place to be you'll feel very comfy. Fancy a brew and a mince pie?
Big love and hugs to will be debt free. Babies should not be poorly! Ever. Saying prayers for you, your DD and family. I'm hoping she is now on the mend.
Linky what can I say ? Do you follow your own advise? NO NO NO. Are you kind to yourself (and finger) NO NO NO. Are you promising to look after yourself and not work too hard ? NO NO NO. What will we do with you? xxx

Oooh yes, the grief I had with OH! I think it was last Christmas, I'd bought him a DVD box set and then he spotted one of the DVDs in the set while we were out shopping. Had to do the whole "Oh nooo, don't bother, look how much it is, total waste of money..."

And then again his last birthday with a book, I'd got it ages before partly with some vouchers I had that needed used up, and for weeks he kept mentioning this book and "The library should have it" etc. Managed to convince him they didn't have it and he couldn't buy it because it was too expensive! My nerves!

Wish we had a Lidl. I WANT CHRISTMAS SHAPE PASTA.

FF how annoying it is so blooming cute. Where you trying to model the legs? Sometimes I find if you leave it a couple of hours n go back to it fresh it'll just come together:)

None of that in my LIDL! It was a bit rubbish. Or I just didn't know where to look... Knew I hated LIDL.

I've calmed down now but yes CupOfchai living on my nerves. Although I have just lied that I haven't bought it I have purchased it for someone else to give him as they don't have Amazon.

Just opened the large stash of Christmas stuff we had in the loft......only to find gift bags, tissue paper, gift wrap, a tablecloth and crackers, lovely red merry christmas ribbon and nice red paper with gold bows on

I had forgotten about them

snugglebunny8 oh no are you going to get a new one? Can you remember where you got it from?

Hello all.

have decided toy go for a barin teasing puzzle for the secret santa at work. A new shop has opened in town (think Hawkins Bazaar but cheaper) so that's that sorted.

Had a £5 off £12 spend in Smiths, bought a Karen Rose book for Hubby and a Lorraine Pascale book for me in the 2 for £20 offer. Only they were also both on an half price offer so cost £11.49 in total after voucher discount. They're going to be our pressies from the cats

FeistyFidget-Hope the nail varnish comes back in stock, looks lovely! Great idea for a gift set!

ReformedShopaholic-Me and OH have the same Amazon account and I have banned him from Amazon until Christmas haha.

Snugglebunny8-Bet your house looks fabulous! :j How annoying that your platter got smashed, my OH accidentally kicked a carrier bag off the sofa yesterday containing my lovely new clear glass bauble and the tree figuirine inside it snapped off.

Is anyone else all booked up for Christmas weekends now? I have nearly fully booked us haha, we dont usually do much on set dates so new for us! This is what we have planned:
Dec 1st: Pick up tree from Ikea then Dr Who Christmas craft fair
Dec 8th-Reindeer parade
December 15th: Shopping with one of my brothers then mean with him and his GF
December 16th: Small christmas party at mine
December 22nd: Santas Grotto at Westfield
December 23rd: Hopefully Santa train. :j
Plus school play, fete, christmas light drives, cinema, little brothers birthday, my brothers TA passing out parade and ice skating and merry go round in Windsor. Think thats it, SO excited! :j My sister, niece and baby nephew are coming round on Sunday so think Ill make some christmas tags with DS and my niece. *Holidays are coming eek!*

:j:xmastree:

10 more days and I can decorate and wrap presents :j although after just unwrapping my Christmas snow globes I just want to do it now

moneysavingmumofone it used to be his account so I could never buy him anything off Amazon, but then I got a kindle for my birthday which I like to top up with books in one massive go. He got sick of the emails so put it all in my name and email
