Feisty - Thankyou so much for compiling the christmas song list! I am now sat here listening to my very own you tube christmas playlist! xx

Re christmas films - another vote for nativity here! The 1st one is by far the best, though maybe thats cos I was too busy drooling over mr tennant to actually follow the story line in number 2, I have pre-ordered off amazon though so that will be in our xmas eve hamper this year and I will try harder to follow the actual film - honest!

jack frost is another good one, sad story in a comedy way.
and no one as far as i can see has mentioned its a wonderful life, i adore that film. kids all hate it cos its black and white but once everything is done (and before schools finish) i will be feet up with that:)

Morning.
Still really rough. It's gone to my chest now, so coughing makes my eyes water.

I have the collectors edition of Its A Wonderful Life, and you get 2 films, one black and white and one in Technicolor.
I actually have it twice as ds bought it for me 2 years running .:)

Got an email from Tescos this morning to say the cushions are in stock, so they have been ordered and should be here to collect after 4 tomorrow.

Hi everyone.

Mrs Invisible - great news for you, you must be on cloud nine x

Nanamia - I too have a hubby who will not let anyone else gloss.

I also love It's a Wonderful Life and my kids can't stand it - I watch it whilst wrapping in December when they are at school.

Had a busy weekend, got some bits and bobs - went to Primarni and picked up a couple of Xmas tea towels, a guest towel (bought a couple last year from Dunelm), a couple of Santa wash mits for the elf to leave out for my girls one day (probably the night she Elfs up the bathroom). Went to the Card Factory got some cards and a couple of stocking fillers. Also visited a Home Bargains (first time ever) I was on a course in Newton Abbot and drove past one. Have to say I wasn't overly impressed, half empty shelves, did pick up a couple of Magic Snowmen that look quite cute for the Elf to leave out after one of her escapades, but didn't really see anything else. May of happened to fall into Next and buy myself a new coat (ooops)!

Haven't actually bought any proper pressies yet, need to start on the girls stuff, they have written lists so I now have a good idea of what they would like, I have to say they are good girls and are always happy with anything.

Have got my Dad sorted though, going to do a book hamper so have picked up a few good books throughout the year, and am going to get an Amazon voucher to go with it.

Hope everyone is well, hugs to those who need them x

I had to go to sainsburys this morning for file dividers for my sister... accidentally came out with the christmas pringles - sweet cinnamon and mint choc, and the Winter rekorderlig... oopsy...
The cinnamon pringles are really tasty, and I don't even like cinnamon!
