There's a current hamper thread, though it's only on the first few pages at minute.

Do you want it for adults or kids?

Hair Care (shampoo conditioner, styling products, brushes, hair accessories)

Games - puzzles, cards, dominoes, wordsearches

Car care ( car air freshner, cleaning products)

Gone shopping (magnetic shopping list, trolley token, reusable bags)

TBH I am not bothered who exactly as long as a theme but thanks for the link. I might adapt the wordearch one and change it into a coffee break basket!

is there a list anywhere of which stores have launched their Christmas sites?

I know Matalan has been mentioned on this thread. Lakeland's range is also live online, as is John Lewis'.

want to get into the spirit and start looking for present inspiration

we currently have junior party monopoly and im thinking of getting the older version this year, we have a 8, 6 and 2 year old (who will be napping when we play)...a little googling and i have discovered too many versions!!!! there is a charcter or theme for every possibility - so my question is do i stick with the original or can anyone suggest a good version???
many thanks

We have 4 monopoly's. Original, star wars, Simpsons & only fools and horses. The Simpsons one is by far the most played, and a great family friendly version.

Love the Xmas bed spread! I NEED one, or maybe two! Wonder how dh will feel about me decorating our caravan Christmas themed all year round lol x

I thought people might enjoy this 'arm knit scarf' I think it'd be a fab gift!

I made it this afternoon, it was very easy! Took me an hour but I'm not a very experienced knitter!

Argh I've lost all my multi links and I can't see the posts I wanted to reply to apologies for forgetting names!

The poor lovely that has just had a root canal tooth fracture - after a tooth has been root filled it is very fragile (think of a dead tree and how easily it crumbles). Ideally they should be crowned to protect them, but if a dentist is not confident that their root canal treatment is a success (it's complex treatment that general dentistry struggles with) then they may be adopting a review in 6 months policy. If an X-ray shows no sign of further infection and that the bone surrounding the roots is healing, it can then be crowned. If the review is inconclusive, then they may wish to wait longer. If a patient has a root canal and the dentist crows the tooth a few months after, the price would be almost £300 - if this tooth then flared up and had to be removed, the patient would be livid that they had to pay out a small fortune only to lose the tooth. The wait and see approach is sometimes for the best.

As for NHS dentists, your local authority has a duty of care to you to offer NHS treatment. Club together and complain, you will see results.

To the lovely that posted about the Yankee advent calendar, I am smitten! After finally outgrowing the cheap chocolate ones, this would make an amazing tradition, but I don't know if I can justify the cost does anyone know if these are likely to be included in a sale or if Yankee regularly do discount vouchers?

Omo it was so lovely to see you on here glad fingers is improving, but so sorry about you and your dad

Freespirit, last year I know you were looking on youtube at American house tours for Christmas decorations (I remember you mentioning hot chocolate stations being featured!) can you recommend any videos? I've had a look at a few, but they've been a bit disappointing

I hope everyone is well x
