Oh peppapig - a taste of Christmas hamper, I like that idea! Would be perfect for my bessie n her Hubby who can never really quite get into the festive spirit (unhappy memories for both of them of events that have occured around Xmas time ) But I've started a snowed in hamper for them as my bessie is convinced it'll happen. Maybe next year though...

First part of Hubby's pressie came today - a double egg cup. Anyone know of anywhere selling chocolate eggs? Creme eggs? Ex-Halloween eggs? Any egg sized choccie eggs would do to go in it really. I thought you could get Creme eggs all year round now ?

Tried making some of the decs from the paper set I bought at the range...whoever drew/designed the illustrative pics needs to go to Specsavers as I couldn't follow them!

What about Kinder Eggs?

I'm sure I've seen some sort of chocoate eggs in B&M (yello and purple) perhaps moshi monsters? Or yes, Kinder eggs should be available all year!

JJ bless you. You really are inspirational. Your day sounds perfect xxx

Well I now am crying happy tears. The most kindest thing has just happened. I've just had a pm from a lurking Christmas lover, who will remain nameless. I have never had any contact with this lovely and yet she's just offered to send me her copy of the Gavin And Stacey Christmas Special. This truly is a wonderful place to be xxx

How lovely! Such a sweet, generous thing for someone to do. Very thoughtful, whoever you are...;)

I expect supermarkets have already reduced and sold the Halloween stock by now, but corner shops might still have some.

Oh, Kinder eggs-of course! Think Creme eggs come back either straight after Christmas or at new year.

Very lazy day today. Wandered along the beach a bit, then up and down the pier (5 trips to Brighton and we'd never set foot on the pier!). Buts it's cold, windy and rainy today so we didn't bother wandering round too much. Had late lunch and now back at the hotel to read and chill for a while. Swim and pubs later, maybe. Home tomorrow.

Thanks, I never thought about Kinder eggs, d'oh!

I'm back *does happy dance* I need to catch up on 2 months of posts at some point but now is not that time.

Well i've been in hospital forever and had 2 big operations and horrid horridness but i'm back and alive but still poorly...now it's a big fibro flair up but that's the least of my previous worries.

SO what have i missed??? hahaha!

I've nearly finished my shopping...done it all online from my hospital bed-thank goodness for my amazon app and i have wrapped most of it from my bed at home. I'm on a roll....

Much love to you and i hope you are all well, i've missed you all and hugs to all that need them :-) xxx

fevertotell, hope everything is now ok with you healthwise.

I am a lot better after my operations thank you, i never thought at 31 i'd have to have a hysterectomy etc but i'm relieved that by doing that they seem to of caught everything before it spread. x

Not been here for a while. Hope you had a good time OMO.
Nana saw you put your foot in your mouth. I was a bit silly this week. My husband bought an estate car and put an order in for the same dog guard as we have in 4x4. Long story but wrong one came and when they came to pick it up I gave them the new one to take back. My husband was a bit angry to say the least and I did hear a few swear words. I did feel stupid but they came early to pick it up and I was rushing about cleaning as usual wiping down the woodwork in the hall as we were getting it decorated before we put it on the market. Glad to say we now have the one we want but it has cost us £20 for delivery.
Well we were up the A9 today and say lots of furbabies up the hills and even saw a stag who was beautiful.
We saw a bath that we like and is reduced from £2400 to £1200 so if they can store it for us for a year or so we will buy it tomorrow. We paid our first cheque to the builders so it has been a bit expensive.
I tried to order three mugs from M and S this week but they have ran out of the I love my cat mugs so hope they get them in again. This is a stocking filler so you would think they would not run out of these 5 weeks before Christmas.
Hope everyone is fine.
