  • morning, you all sound busy and buzzin'. Mandco, yes Argoose have the colour, but at £7.99 each hand towel, my colour pales and l run away! thanks though for looking for me.
    Pixtotts I, too, would love to join the pinit board, but like Vulpix would need pinterest for dummies instructions.
    Freespirit, put them on paper plates and plastic cutlery, if they won't empty the beast for you.
    Need to go and make soup as fave cos is coming for lunch, and has requested that the soup dragon awakes and brews up.
    My house is a tip, but the weather is dry and warm, so the garden is crying out for attention, oh, dear, what a dilemma, not.

    pixtotts I have sent my email to you, looking forward to Christmas pinning :D - more than I already do!
    cav82 what awful news, my best wishes to you and all of your friends family and friends!
    chrissyg Boots own brushes are good, and with 3 for 2 on might be worth a look. I have not tried the other ones people have recommended but will be having a look myself as I need some fresh for the old ones I have - brand I can't remember! I have got a couple of Bare Minerals brushes which are really nice and you can use any product, would recommend looking on ebay and lookfanastic.com for prices. Mine came as part of the starter kit which works out a better price so that could always be an option?
    pinknfluffy glad all was well with the caravan, you'll be counting down the days until you go back now :D
    princesskitty ooo enjoy today, i'm very jealous :)
    Work today, although very slow and most people fed up of being here now which makes it a boring and slow day!
    Off to do some MS research now as I have just been given a few thousand pounds which I would like to make the most out of (saving wise!) :money:
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:
    Mum to two boys :heartpuls

    Princesskitty go with your gut feeling lovely, but the advice everyone on here has given you is spot on xxxxx
  • Ive been looking a lot on amazon and am trying to work out how i feel about ordering tings from China for pence. I mean postage must be higher than 69p so I dunno.

    Hope this helps, i just recieved a pair of silver plated earings from china for my daughter, they cost 0.01p and delivery was £4 something.....

    Didnt hold my breath but they are so cute and all i need is a nice gift box for them.

    I have now ordered a few other bits, for pence with free postage, one being the Frozen watch that was on the grab it board- hope im just as happy with those.

  • Forgot to mention the other day that I saw some Frozen kids clothes in Tesco which might be useful for someone - linky here
  • Afternoon everyone, not long home from work and have been Christmas shopping already:o:rotfl:
    Disney Store has the Elsa and Anna dolls back in stock aswell as the costumes also, so just managed to get those. Got a few other Frozen stuff also while there :)
    Done the order in 4 separate transactions too so got 4 Disney Princess Art sets half price for £6.99:T That a wee bonus for kids and also for Christmas gifts too:T

    Also went onto Asda and got lots of Disney DVD's 2 for £13 so ordered 4 Frozen DVD's, 2 sets of the Narnia Box sets, Aladdin and a couple other DVD's too.
    Just need to get out to Smyths and Toys R Us for 2 different Frozen make up sets. Of course they don't want the same, had to be different and on either side of town:doh:
    That'll be the girls done and boys just want a few other things and that's them done.
    They've been told that as their Santa list has been posted off they are not allowed to change their minds again about what they want, or Santa won't bring them anything:eek::o Usually works, but if something crops up closer to the time that they really really really want and don't stop talking about it, we usually get them that one thing and that does our gift to them.
