Great idea about us having a FB group! Then we can do what we wish! I'm happy to set it up any that helps? We can do it as a private group.

Sending you hugs Junior J xxxx

I love stockings, I've not had one for years! Tried to get OH to make me one but he didn't really get it and it was just all my normal presents crammed into a stocking shaped sack!!! That sounds ungreatful, I know!

Sorry i should have said the lego elfs are in the lego blind bags series 11. they are in green packs. Dd1 picked up two bags today and got the same one in both.. whats the chances of that happening LOL i did win another elf and the gingerbread man both for 99p on ebay last night though yay! i'd like another 3 elves to go on my xmas cake that i have in my mind but if i don't get them i'll have to pinch the other one back lol

Big ty nanamia. I followed the sw diet but never went to group so did it all on my own.. so no slimmer of the year for me lol

Whats the fb group going to include?

I picked up a couple of tubes of smarties today.. need another two of those, and one of the choc £50 note (going to put those in the movie hampers ) so need another 2 of those, i think its 3 im making LOl. oh and i ordered a dress and a top from new look and a pair of iron fist shoes for dd2 who so kindly left a very nice picture of the items she had found and she'd love them forxmas for me to find on my laptop this morning pmsl. nothing like a subtle hint!

LOL at your DD msgigglewick!

grrrr at Primark for no online shopping! will have to get the train on a day off! please would anyone who has seen the Christmas fleeces let me know what they look like? if they are Christmassy but not the same sort of design as last years I may ask DS to pop in one lunch hour

Think the FB page would be good if we are organising a secret santa, as it's private!

Hello, sorry not read back, but seen snippets of Facebook and secret Santa. Sorry if its been mentioned, but I have used Elfster for a secret Santa before in a fb group. It was great as everyone who wanted to do it just signed up, it then chose a partner for you.
You can set up a wish list if things you like so they have some idea what to get you. Again sorry if I've picked it up wrong or it's been mentioned.

I still have the cold. This is nearly 3 weeks now of feeling ill. Feeling a bit sorry for myself,

Off to read back x

Wow what a lot of catching up i have to do, just reading now.

Not been up to much, i'm in the middle of a very nasty lupus flare so not doing a lot...hoping it goes away soon as i have lots of shopping planned in the next week or two.

looks like everyone is getting into the christmas spirit :-) hope you are all ok? love and hugs all xxx

Echoing what Mrs Invisible said - I'd happily join the Facebook group (I actually have an account now although I don't really use it much) but the process would need to be idiot proof please lol.

JuniorJ - second what Nanamia and the others have said and hoping you're home soon and feeling up to Christmas planning. Maybe just some Christmas dreaming for you at the mo. Take care x

Picked up 3 blind bags this morning - an abominable snowman, a warrior type thing and a lady with an icecream
I sooo want an elf and a gingerbread man but I might have to let it pass, otherwise i will end up spending an absolute fortune! Have had a quick peak on ebay but they all have at least £1.50 plus postage so you must have got lucky! They are wanting £5-£6 on buy it now!
The only other thing i got from tesc@s was hats, scarf and gloves for myself and both dd's, absolutely freezing this morning!
I really should get ready for work now, if I can just drag myself away from here & pinterest!!!

msgigglewick

did you stand and have a feel too pinknfluffy lol the abominable snowman looks good too! if my dd1 didn't collect them i doubt i would have noticed them lol Keep an eye on ebay the odd one comes up at 99p start but not often. Think as they are becoming more known they are getting harder to get.

Fb group sounds good as does the secret santa
