I'm not sure if you can switch but it wouldnt take long just to add, didnt know if you knew but you can download a thing from Amazon and it gives you a little icon on your bar by the website address, so that if you see something from another online store you can add it to the amazon wish list. So if someone clicks on it they're taken to an external site. for example I love Rituals foaming shower gels & at £7 each they are a real treat but I have them on my amazon wish list & if you click on them you're taken to the Rituals website with the product details. So its great to have a mix on amazon & none amazon stuff!

Thanks so much! :j I didnt know about that so am going to have a look, thanks loads! x

[QUOTE
Snugglebunny I buy my DH a bag of Cadbury's chocolate coins every year to go in his stocking as it's the only chocolate he likes, I don't often see them in supermarkets but always find them in places like the 99p store, Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M etc.

Had a look and found them on Amazon - but they were £16 for 12 bags :eek: - saying that I don't know how much they are for one bag so that may be a bargain. :rotfl:

thanks! :beer: will check places like Chocolate Buttons but often the p+p prices them out - think they were 1.29 last year in Asda? will let you know if they are there when I make the trip!

Hope you enjoy the Ideal Home! was looking at the Christmas Show in London, may be at Olympia/Earls Court? but by the time Ive paid for train to London etc will be expensive so may go to the Festive Gift Show at the NEC as its closer, Ive never been to a Christmas show before and always meant to, so going to try and go this year - tickets are 8.50 which is pretty good, and they have decorations, food, music etc so sounds like may be fun! I may get my hot chocolate and jingle bells treat!

I got them for 99p last year from the 99p store, I have never paid over a pound for them as they are always in the cheaper shops. x

I've been to the gift fair at the nec a few times, it was amazing on 2004 & 2005. Stuff was reasonably priced and so varied. When I've been in 2008 & 2010 I found things had gone up and the stalls were more commercial rather than individual, like there used to be people like feisty's things for example and when we went it was things like buff, the things you see on shopping channels like jml. But I would go again as its a day out and a wander in the warm:rotfl:

And the food, lots of samples (or there used to be!) nice cheeses, curry sauces, licorice are the things I remember!

Im not slating it, I think most places are the same tbh, prices have gone up in the world! Could be some good inspiration though!

ETA: I got cadburys choc coins from poundland last year x

well I spent a fun evening in A&E yesterday. We had fish for tea and when we'd finished it felt like there was something stuck in my throat. I took an antihistamine and a few puffs of my inhaler and it didn't get any better. Rang 111 and they said to go to A&E. OH took me and waited till I had seen the triage nurse then came back to be at home with the boys. I got to the hospital at about 9pm I got home at 2am:eek: they x-rayed my throat and said they couldn't see anything and to go home and take pain killers. I went to the GP today to see if there was any sign of infection or inflammation but nothing there. I can still feel something but hope it will go soon. I haven't taken my antihistamine for a few days so maybe it is my allergy flaring up.
I had 4 1/2 hours sleep and so far am OK but think it will be an early night.

OH has gone off to see a supply agency so fingers crossed....nanamia he had to take his PGCE certificate with him took ages to find it - this is why we need to declutter!

snugglebunny butterscotch canes sound fab

emalou happy belated birthday

chrissy hope you and DD are OK. sorry it must have been mentioned before I came back to the thread, has she gone to college?

fatblackandwhite I am sure your order will arrive OK. enjoy your silhouette when it arrives

mandco

might take a couple of posts as got loads to catch up on and tend to forget who said what
fiesty sounds like the shop could be a good investment but lots to think about & check out but should you go for it hope it all works out. one thing worth checking is that how long is on the lease for the shop rental and that can be transferred to you some landlords will use the change of ownership as a chance to change the terms/rent ect

chrissy its so hard to resist the urge to go to them when they call but hopefully dd will settle in quickly its a huge change so shes bound to have a few tears no doubt you have too. its normal for dogs to pine and go off their food when big changes happen and no doubt senses your upset aswell lots of cuddles and maybe something that smells of dd might help

linda congrats on becoming an aunty

omo good for you

Afternoon everyone,
NANAMIA yes its trying to sniff around my feet, but i am fighting it as much as i can, just sat here crying this afternoon, it was about DD2s friend with cancer i was just nosing on facebook to see how he was going and saw him and his beautiful little family and just sobbed and sobbed mainly because i felt guilty moaning about pains in all my joints/bones and my trapped nerve still hasnt gone, by the time i go to bed i can barely move i am so stiff and in pain, im not sure if it is rheumatism/arthritis??? I dont know if any of you lovelies know anthing about these i am 46 is it about this time your joints/bones start playing up?? Anyway i am exactly the same as you, why why why do i feel i can get everything done and sorted at night then wake up and nothing!!!! I thought it was just me :rotfl:Glad you have had a lovely time with DGD2 how is DGD1 doing now you are back home? Ooh a lovely new front room for xmas, very nice, glad you are still decluttering.
