Happy birthday Freespirit. Christmas market trip sounds lovely. Make sure we get a full report when you return.

My order for Nativity has been cancelled, so have to find it at a good price somewhere else now. Oooh, it's on Blu Ray for £1 more. Might do that instead...

mandco

the book people have buy 2 annuals for £6 and have a code for free delivery with any order.

Xmas wise I got the boys Xmas day jumpers today in sainsburys and the best bit was when I got to the til they both had 25% off! Apparently there is 25% off all clothing (finishing today) if anyone is interested. Also in town I got a little diary for my mums stocking, a scooby doo activity pack for DS1s stocking and some chocolate coins.

Struggling abit for things for DS2s stocking though. He will be almost 2 by Xmas but he tends to play with toys older than his age as he just plays with DS1s. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful! So far I have a book and some sweets! Lol

I am hoping to find a Christmas jumper for DS (age 2) I've bought him a lovely Disney planes hoody from Asda which will be a Christmas gift but want something Christmassy to wear in December. Last year we got a fleece lined cardigan from Primark with Rudolph on it. It was lovely, warm, nice shape and fun design. Got lots of wear out of it. Haven't seen anything similar yet.

Re: stockings, my DS likes harmonicas, whistles, little animals or cars. Peppa pig figures? Also he is currently delighted with a Spiderman electric toothbrush from Home Bargains (£3.99 I think) Stickers and pens/ crayons.

I need ideas for young men, nephews between 18 and 23, don't want to be giving money anymore they are adults now. I'm OK for my brothers. Got novelty boxer shorts, favourite sweets and some other bits.

Does anyone know where root beer can be bought from? I'm trying to make a small hamper for my cousin and her partner and he likes jelly beans and root beer! Jelly beans is easy, but I looked for root beer last year and couldn't track any down.

Have you looked on amazon or American sweets shops?

Have they got girlfriends? If not, you can put a "pulling hamer" together for them: lynx spray, lucky pants, bottle of beer, babe magnet mug/key ring, condoms etc.?
