    Yeah, hope you get it sorted Kerri. It's something from FD to buy for OH - I don't think OH would be too happy with a Frozen DVD or something :rotfl::)
    I remember our last trip to Hamley's while in London one Easter - heaving like you say and it was too hot for me, had to wait ages in a queue to get FD a Build-a-bear.

    A bracelet, that sounds good CW - can't beat jewellery I suppose :D I've done earrings, a watch, necklaces in the past.

    Morning everyone :D


    OOps. :rotfl:I am sure your FD and OH could watch Frozen together:rotfl:.

    What about a Pandora bracelet or a bangle for your OH from you and then a charm for the Pandora bracelet from your FD for her.

    Good morning guys

    Woke up to a white garden, we have had a heavy ground frost last night and its really cold. My windows are very wet with condensation as well. Might just have to keep the heating on for most of today at this rate.

    No frost where I live (+2°C at 06:30) but some of the cars in Sheffield were frosted - different timezone or something ;)
    Afternoon everyone :D

    Was wrapping xmas presents last night, feeling all festive

    Good morning guys

    Wrote a few xmas cards yesterday, but not feeling very festive atm.

    Had a bad day yesterday with everything breaking.

    My outside security light broke, the sensor isn;t working so phoned an electrician to come and replace it.

    The tap in the bathroom jammed shut and won;t budge so ordered new taps and booked a plumber for next week to fit them.

    The handle on the toilet broke so got an emergency plumber out to fix that.

    My washing machine went funny the day before yesterday so looks like it might need replacing or maybe repair. (wouldn;t stop rinsing) though today it did a wash without a problem.

    then tried to defrost something for tea last night and the microwave isn;t working. Its lit up, the clock works, the timer works, the plate turns, but it won;t defrost or cook or heat up at all.

    yes, defo a bad day, hope today is better and I get all these things fixed before christmas.

    Why do things always seem to go wrong together?

    The lock on our french doors on the conservatory kept sticking so had to get a chap in to sort that out. Our dryer started working intermittently - found it was the socket so only £25 call out. Then the cooker stopped working, turned out a fuse had fallen out - no charge, phew!

    Morning everyone :D

    Morning all :D
    I've got the Ted Baker Ted Abbey gift set from Boots and some bath bombs so far for OH. I had a look at some bracelets but wasn't sure.

    I'm going to take advantage of the AMEX Shop Small that starts tomorrow, should be able to get some good stuff for half price if I stick to a tenner for each transaction.
