    Nanamia I'm fine. Been changing my bedroom round. No mean feat when it's in the loft and you can't stand up in half of it.
    Must admit (:o) I was cursing Christmas. I don't have room for a wardrobe, so the presents are just on the floor in the corner. Or they were until I needed that corner for some drawers. It took twice as long as it would have had it been July and floor was clear. They are now in a pile I front of the drawers. It kind of ruins the whole look. :(

    ALJA Harrods opened their Christmas shop in August. I don't want to burst the bubble, but don't get too excited. It is only one room this year, not 2 like before. I asked if they had more stuff coming, but was told they had exactly the same amount of products as previous years. They have just only put a few of each out, instead of the loads they used to. It is still lovely, but didn't have the woah factor it used to have.

    msgigglewick love the Elf outfit.

It was all very civalised - hardly anyone there.

  • hello all! will catch up after work but just to let all you stag lovers (!?) know they have the most amazing fleece throws in N3xt, they are lovely snuggly fleece 120x150 and the underside is shearling so super soft and costy, £18 each - the one that I saw that I fell in lov with is Fairisle (its neutrals/creams with snowflake/fairisle pattern) but I asked if they did it in red and thats when they showed
    me the Stag print one, its various shades of red stags on cream with the shearling underside, couldnt not resist! came out £36 lighter! *gulp* they are on the website if you type in Stag fleece throw or Fairisle flece throw, it mentions shearling underside, they are just the softed cuddliest thing ever! Better get off to work now to pay for it with overtime!!! xx

    Thanks Chrissie and congratulations on your house sale.:dance:
    It's the most wonderful timeof the year :
  • I have missed so much on here lately. A combo of being ill and uni work doesnt work lol. I now currently have two homemade rain gauges outside, the bottoms leveled out by jelly of all things lol. Did go to asda on Monday, got a few food bits to put away for Halloween and Christmas and mum and dad found what they wanted as a gift so us "kids" chipped in. I am now exhausted today.
