    Can't remember who posted the link to the 20% off at Homebase today and this weekend, but thanks to OP anyway :D

    Just got a few bits which I was pleased with. BTW if anyone is short on gift wrap they've marked it down to 49p a roll in my local Homebase, lots of reductions on decs too. They had some nice pinky/purple tiny pom pom lights (suitable for indoor and outdoor) marked down from £29.99 to £9.99 so about £8 with the 20% off.

    Checked with cust serv if it was ok to use the vouchers as they may have been funny about them, not being on the usual shiny paper, they said yes, go ahead and use them. Cut a few extra vouchers off the sheet I printed off and popped them in my purse just in case. Noticed a woman struggling to the till with a heavy basket full of decorating stuff, she'd bought loads of paint and brushes etc. I gave her one of my 20% off vouchers and she was dead pleased bless her. Maybe my good turn was the reason I found so many wombles today :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Sounds good to me but I would have a job convincing DH to put up more lights :eek: I've just talked him round to having a light-up Santa out in the garden :cool:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    You can't make someone love you. All you can do is
    stalk them & hope they panic & give in

    God created men first, cause you always makes a rough draft before a masterpiece!

    Ah, your light up santa sounds lovely. We've had to replace our set of lights outside this year as the old ones which were LED although were working, were glowing only faintly. DH said it's a sealed unit so can't be fixed :( shame, as I really like them. Good excuse to buy some fresh ones though :j
