Random question but can I ask where you got your marbles from? My mum is looking for some and we don't really know where to look. Tried Poundland, Wilkinsons, Asda and Sainsburys without any luck so far.

I got them from the Toy Barnhaus, local to me. I also had some sat in my basket from on line shop dotcomgift shop. Hope that helps!

Glad to see a watch I liked is back on the amazon Black Friday list - I thought my son would like it but he didn't get back to me quick enough so it went on Mon, but it has been re listed today so I have set my alarm, phew!!

My sister saw my chocolate sleighs yesterday and was impressed! I am having my 3 nieces for a week end so have lots of Christmas craftys for them to try. I miss my kids being a bit older and not wanting to make these things anymore. Mind you they have all inherited my love of Christmas and are counting down the days until we out up our decs!

I have decided to make a hamper as extra present for my eldest son and his girlfriend. They have moved in together so felt it was time to relinquish his stocking. However, they have said they want to stay here Christmas Eve so thought I would make joint hamper. Now all I need are the ideas - nothing like adding to the work load.

Morning, I really miss this thread, I've not been on for a couple of weeks. I've lost all Christmas spirit.

Sadly I lost my beautiful Mum last Thursday. She had cancer and had battled for over a year, but we thought she would see Christmas and my sister new baby due Feb. but this last bit defeated her
She is now pain free, but I miss her so much. We are about to drive over 200miles for her funeral tomorrow.
Not sure if you remember, but my Grampa also died just a month ago. I feel for my poor Dad, losing his Dad and wife within a month

My Mum loved Christmas and gave me and my sisters fantastic Christmas memories and traditions. I want to pass these on to my own kids. So I know I'll get my Christmas spirit back, as that's what she would of wanted.
I'll be back on once I get through this hard time.

This thread always cheers me up x

Help! Have just realised dh won't be home to make doors for our wooden advent. So I need to make 25 little boxes or similar to fit in holes, they need to be at least 1.5inch x 1.5inch & no bigger than 2" x 2". If anyone has any ideas or templates I would be eternally grateful. Example of things going in them: moshi figures, Lego figures, lip balms & small bath bombs. Thanks in advance will be waiting patiently (ish) till home from work to get back on here :rudolf:

Come on ladies, fess up - who else purchased this There seemed to be plenty earlier :rotfl:

Oops I was one of those people! It was a fab find for my £5 pamper hamper. So far I have go the nail varnish 49p, a face mask 99p, 2 pairs of luffy socks 99p and some gold glittery nail files that I bought in the Next sale in January for £1. So i've spent £3.47 of my £5 budget so far! I just need to try and get a chocolate bar and a candle for £1.53!!

Jeningers really glad to hear you are feeling better and got the treatment you deserve. x

Snugglebunny I can't believe you have your dec up!! I bet they look fab. I don't usually put mine up until the 2nd weekend in December but after being on here since about June I don't think i'll be able to wait that long this year!

pinknfluffy i'm sorry to hear about your troubles with your sd's. Hopefully this is just a teenage phase and they will learn as they get older than he is more than just money.
