    lulu that is really good!!! I have a November birthday to get for and we only spend around £10, I might have to have a peek!!

    It really is worth it, I bought the watch for me and it is such good quality for £2.34, I'm going to buy one for my mum and sister too!

    ooh another 2 of the list. I had some things in my 'saved for later' basket and when i was buying boxing wraps the message came up to say that the price had chnaged for everything in that basket. i selected 2 to buy today. TMNT monopoly at £19.99 and Mighty Ducks 1,2 &3 for under £6


    Also this morning, i forgot to mention, the weather man states their is to be snowfall this weekend - just on the mountain tops/hill tops, which is brilliant as i look out across to teh argyll hills.
    The temperature sure has dropped here in past few days. absolute baultic wind cutting through as we walk to school. and the house was really cold last night. time to start putting the heating up.

    I've just bought 3 more owl watches, some nautical anchor earrings, some faux swarovski earrings, some funky skull earrings and some "betsey johnson" earrings that look like goldfish!

    all for the smashing total of £9.95, including postage!

    I'm being very very VERY good and telling myself I DO NOT NEED the Mighty Ducks DVD's.......... However it is on my wishlist to keep in mind for future buying:o

    Hi JJ, sorry to hear you've been poorly again - wondered where you'd got to. Hope the London appointment is a big step forward for you - will keep fingers crossed.

    I too was a bit disappointed in QVC's Christmas in July - a few years ago they all used to dress up in Christmassy outfits and it was all really festive. Now it seems to be all the normal stuff but with 'Christmas Gifts' tacked onto the descriptions :(.

    Welcome to all newbies and welcome back to the returners :)
    It's the most wonderful timeof the year :

    Evening everyone,

    LULU wow that is a great haul for less than a tenner :)

    NEWTHRIFT oh i love the garlands on staircases, so american, pity i live in a bungalow :rotfl:

    MRSCHRISTMAS when i first started watching christmas on qvc they had gorgeous, fabulous american christmas bits, but the last few years it just seems the same old thing nothing to get excited about, i too love the american green red white theme

    JUNIORJ hi my lovely sorry you have been really ill again, 8 days and counting my fingers are crossed for you :)

    LOLALEMON what is TMNT monopoly??? Snow in August :eek: what is going on???

    PEPPAPIG yes i agree there was a lot of normal stuff on the christmas days, not what people like us are looking for

    chrissyg sorry to hear about dd esp as things were finally looking up. cant believe that 1 they wouldn't supply her with a chair & 2 just how much you've been charged to have one :mad:

    princesskitty its totally normal for bubs to react to even slight changes in routine and while dh is doing a great job men just tend to feel more unsure in what they are doing and babies can tell hence the unsettled attempt at night feeds it does get easier. personally I found it worked better for me to do the night feeds so oh could sleep then he would do one in the evening so I could have some me time and they got some quality time together.

    JJ sorry to hear you've been back in hospital.good luck with your appointment next wk. oh and I hate windows 8 still drives me crazy

    hanley your welcome glad to help. what sizes/genders are your looking for pjs? primark had quite a few disney onesies for £3/£5 but only small sizes got taz a lovely fleece iron man one. they do have quite a good selection full price and asda also have new ranges online. sains are doing 25% off clothing

    def been chilly here the last few days so had to get the fleece blankets back out.thinking I might get some more to try and keep the heating bills down this winter as find them warmer layered than the duvet plus far easier to wash/dry when the weather is lousy. primark have reduced the price on the smaller micro fleeces to £3.90 which are ideal for taz so going to get him one this wk.
    this year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk
