SHUSH!!!!

I have 30+ of these upstairs in a box... and I need a trip to B&Q..

Christmas fluffy throws arrived.. and a few 'spares' ...

My Matalan order has gone walkabout but it's ok.. I have a glass coffee table someone else ordered from Debenhams instead.. thank you Hermes!

new phone charger arrived though so all is well in the world.

I got my 2 little Debenhams orders too.. the really cheap ones with the £19 worth of freebies.. excellent little stocking fillers for my big girls.

Got some good bargains in Sainsbury's yesterday.

Presents for 2 babies we know in the 1/2 price toy sale.
A cute little wooden rainbow thing for £2.99
And a toy monkey for a newborn for £3.99

Also got some stationary for a friend... a notebook, stickers and magnets... for the pricely sum of around £2.50 (for it all!). That had 70% off, so a super bargain



Also realise that the scarf we got from fat face for brother in law can be paired with a bottle of port - so that's him sorted!
Ordered a boardgame we love for OHs brother - so that's him and his gf sorted.
Boardgame ordered for my bestfriend - sorted!

Need to start on my family at some point!!!!!

Hi everyone I have just caught up on loads of pages as I have been hit by the lurgy again but WORSE than last time. I feel so bad. I was late picking up my stag cushions from Tesco but just love them so thanks again OMO. I love Bailey's as well and it just tastes too good. You were lucky as I would have been ill.
Nana I love your wallpaper and your living room looks fab. We will be project managing but we have a kit house firm doing all the hard work. This will help keep costs down I hope but we keep wanting upgrades on everything. It is hard at the moment as we have to wait till our house is sold before we build and it is not going on sale until January.
My Husband has been bad and booked a holiday to Tenerife for us a week before the house goes on the market. Mind you it will give us something to look forward to after Christmas.
I have not been shopping so haven't seen anything else to buy for Christmas. Roll on next week so keep the tips coming as I still have loads to buy!

Forgot to say Feisty the Stag's are lovely. My brain is not working!!!!

Spent the afternoon trying to get some order in my craft cupboard, tomorrow I'm going to sort material and wool that is under the stairs, I may be gone a while

Found these gorgeous boxes in TKMaxx today! I'd been looking for a storage box for my Christmas DVDs and not found anything that has grabbed me. Then I spotted these today. They are soooo lovely!
I paid £9.99 a set-although now I've unpacked them, I think they are supposed to be sold separately and the biggest is £9.99.
They also had a more traditional looking one. Sort of Victorian scene on it, but these are more me. Very heavy to cart back to my friends car, but if I'd been shopping on my own, I couldn't have managed them on the bus.
Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. Lighting not great in here at this time of day.





Edited to add: Pinksteps, I am SO jealous of your craft cupboard. It's amazing!

Pinksteps I am so jealous ! I live in a new build and don't even have an airing cupboard let alone a craft cupboard.

I've just cut and dyed my hair. Well I say dyed, it's not exactly the plum colour it should be. In fact I can't see and difference at all. What a waste of 40 minutes :mad:
I've got to go into town tomorrow so will have to pick up another dye and try again.
