Lina T well done on the clear out and I hope your ear infection clears up soon.

Freespirit keep fighting that black dog! It has no place in our lives! We're always here when you need a lift.

Nanamia I can't believe it's time for you to come back already! I know it's hard but just keep thinking of all the positive things about coming back. It'll be Christmas before you know it. I hope you have a safe journey home.

Well I haven't bought anything for Christmas lately, but I have received a charity Christmas card catalogue, i've had an email from the Tower of London regarding their Christmas ice rink and our Christmas committee at work are in the throes of organising our Christmas party!! :T

All this talk of the Studio catalogue has reminded me that I ordered a copy weeks ago and still haven't received anything....

You could put a tall narrow fake tree in the corner. A big wreath on the door and a smaller one on the tiny fence on the left. Then a long garland all up around the post on the right. All in greens and reds.

Ooh and a Christmassy welcome mat.

And fairy lights everywhere.

Who needs money left over for presents!

I've had a look at these, what do you think?

Will this fit?

Will these work being solar panelled!?

The nearest in door socket is really far and if the wires too thick it wont fit under the door!?

Thanks for all the ideas so far I've tried pinterest and just keep coming up with the fantastic american porches!!!

Freespirit - Hope a good night sleep has made your throat better & no migraine. Hope you got your wrapping done. I'm considering going through Mali's presents and taking off the tags, making sure the batteries are in etc. A few a week so I don't get irritated by it though!

Nana - safe flight

Lina - congrats on passing and on clearing out! That's impressive!

Spring Dreams - thanks for the code, I've a few things sat in my basket Im pondering!

Do you think this could be sprayed silver? http://homeshopping.24studio.co.uk/clearance/christmas/decorations/1/green-iron-card-holder/16?wmpsorigin=search

Was looking at getting these for the girls but to go on their door handles?

You are most welcome re the code.

I agree the card holder would look good in silver.

I ordered the boy decoration for my son He has an unusual name so it is not possible to find bits with his name on, so it is nice for him to have something that does. And Christmas is supposed to be colourful

Really sorry to hear your news msmo

Beings as I have not felt festive in the slightest over the last couple of days, today I bought Robbie 2 pressies.
His mum is still not talking to any of us but his dad is still dropping him off here so we can see him.:)

I decided I would get a few smaller presents rather than one bigger one. Although none of them are small in size. :eek:
So I got him this in Argos-

And this is Tesco -

I think with the musical set I got him in the Easter sale I have practically finish his gifts for the sum of £24.50 :j
