Oh I love that! so clever, just don't know any Guinness drinkers


I was planning on having a go at making some coffee syrup and a trial run of the veggie christmas main today but Dads car broke down so thats off till the car is fixed, I was stuck on the duel carriage way with a car that wouldnt go into gear! I'm using his car as I've still not found myself a new one... well I've found the exact car I want but naturally its about £1000 more than I want to pay it was perfect though... Meh anyway suppose I had better do housework instead

Home bargains have coloured glass bottles various colours and sizes start at 69p I think.
Home bargains also have some nice Christmas jumpers £5.99 for children's & £9.99 adults:)

Do you know about this? https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4798334

Order an item (cheapest £7) and get goody bag worth £19 with free delivery if you use the code mentioned.

I also found some of the Ever After High dolls for DD cheaper from Amazon. Couldn't find them cheaper than £35 last night.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ever-After-High-Ashlynn-Huntsman/dp/B00DH7P6WU/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1382462109&sr=8-7&keywords=ever+after+high

I also got the fluffy cream bedsocks I mentioned before £2 for 3 as I'm stocking up for DD as I won't be able to find them after winter. I bought them in B&M but Poundstretcher had them in still. They are def 'snowflake' looking as I thought they actually looked like snow if laid out ruffled up.
