    Hello

    I have been lurking for a few weeks, I could not believe it when I came across this forum I finally feel I have found the place where I belong! Ha ha, I begin getting excited about February time and am now in the full throws of my planning.

    I have made a good start on present buying and last week I sorted out my Xmas cupboard and made a list of everything I have bought. I have bought lots of the lovely jewellery pieces from Amazon so thank you for that recommendation. I have today in my lunch been to a new Range store that has opened near me and it has aisles and aisles full of decorations. I bought a couple of things for the tree (as I always add to it every year) and a beautiful wooden, white, greyish wreath for the door. It actually is a lot nicer than it sounds.

    Thanks for all the tips so far and looking forward to the next few months x

    Hello and welcome to our lovely thread, ooh i cant wait to go to The Range now :)

  • I just tried to order my friends mug from matalan to make up a mini tea hamper put the code in and got 20% off but it wont let me click and collect :( so i have had to leave it not worth paying nearly £4 delivery for a mug that is only costing £1.60 with discount :(

    Thanks Danielle for the Matalan info and yes please Pixtotts, I'd like the url for the voucher please :j

    Welcome Najipants, Danielle and any newbies I've missed - apologies my memory isn't what it was lol.

    Freespirit you're on a roll with your pressies, I keep thinking I'm doing really well and then I look at the list of people I still need to buy for and I realise I'm not, ha ha.

    Mrs I, the only problem with asking for the advent calendars back to refill is that it'll be really embarrassing if they haven't kept them! If you know they've still got them I would think they'd be really pleased to have them refilled - I know I would.
    It's the most wonderful timeof the year :
