Thank you I'm quite glad you mentioned you got the baileys sample today, as I sent off for one of these too and haven't received it as of yet...I do hope it comes soon!

I got mine a few days after I requested one

Not yet. He had to rust off to football training.( half an hour early !)
I will ask him again tomorrow. I may just make some and leave them on the side. He is more likely to try them if they are already made, and the toaster is away.

Different design and tune. Last years was 'Deck the Hall' whereas this years is 'Jingle Bells' and a different tin. HTH

Seeing the m&s posts has triggered my memory, theyve got a few half price offers on the posh tins of biscuits, shortbread etc £4.50 down from £9. Tins look lovely and christmassy aswell

Also homebargains by me had a lot of their christmas stock out, lots of stocking fillers, chocolote santa n reindeers lollies etc for 49p very similar to the ones i was eyeing up in thorntons but a fraction of the price bur still look just as yummy

Also had a few bargains in sainsburys earlier, they seem to be having a 70% off sale on a few bits of homeware & cookware, pots & pan sets reduced from £27 to £8, glasses and mugs reduced to under £1, bedding sets down to £4.50. Might be useful with christmas coming up and all the extra guests popping in. HTH x

I have no where to put it but I really want it. I think I may have to find room.

Especially when you see this one.

It makes the £40 sound quite reasonable.

I got my mother some M&S shortbread last year.. she fed it to the dogs it was so disgusting.. she accused me of trying to kill her!

Best place for stocking fillers?? I have made a decision to buy 3 small items each for child #3-11 ages 5 months to almost 18 and I want to do them all in one shopping trip.. where should I look? Preferably online.. Hawkins bizarre is my fave place but we seem to have it all now..

14y/o male geeky type.. main present.. what do we think? (He has 3DS, laptop, not interested in a phone, not bothered about clothes/shoes etc, sweets are out as he is diabetic) I am completely at a loss..

Still needing a Lush shop and a Thorntons shop.. I usually get each child a character thing with their name on.

Have Lush got their Christmas stuff out yet?

Does anyone know if m+s have their christmas gifts out yet? Or when to expect to see them?
