Just made a list of magazines to buy this week - I very rarely buy magazines, but I read somewhere on here that one Magazine will be giving L'Occitane hand cream worth £8 in a £4 magazine. So will hopefully be able to get 2 of each scent and give those out as Christmas gifts:T

IrishRose thank you so much for posting this!! I was looking for a nice hand cream for a friend as part of her present so this was perfect! I picked it up today. I would never have thought of doing that! Will have to keep an eye on what else comes with magazines in future.

Happy belated birthday freespirit! _party_ So glad to hear you had a lovely day, you deserve it.

I have just caught up on the thread but sadly don't have the brain capacity to remember everything today! Thanks for your advice and thoughts on wiggle, I think he is having a growth spurt. When I feed him during the night he comes off on his own and seems quite happy so I can only assume he is getting enough at the time. We had a great night last night, he did stints of 5hrs, 4hrs and then another 2hrs - will have to see what happens tonight! I'm not holding my breath.

I went to Dinton Pastures near Reading the other day and couldn't resist a sneak in B&M! I've picked up a few more pressies and am surprised at how many people I've finished now. I'm relieved as i'm never sure how much time i'm going to have for things nowadays! I also picked up the Boots catalogue today. To be honest I don't really buy a lot from Boots at Christmas but I do enjoy looking at the book. I love the sales in January though!

I hope everyone is ok and enjoying their weekend. x

Glad I could help out lol. I love L'Occitane hand creams so was delighted with that find. I managed to get 2 of each scent - 8 magazines in total, and hubby went back and got me a set for myself as he knows I like them. But I'm not allowed them yet as he said their for my stocking:( He was impressed with the value also lol.

Also got some more Christmas shopping in today, some more Disney DVD's for kiddie winks.
BHS have their Christmas gifts out :T Got 10% and 20% off some gifts from there. Including a huge jar of Sweets for £10 for kids:T

Bought myself my Christmas pyjamas in Primark - Coca cola ones with the Christmas truck on the front Also got hubby his Christmas jumper, myself a few christmas t-shirts including a Christmas Coca Cola one and a Frozen t-shirt! :rotfl:

Hubby's delighted with his Christmas jumper as for their work's Xmas dinner they've decided to wear them out :rotfl:
Also called into Yankee candle and spent a small fortune on some of their christmas stuff for gifts too. Nothing for me though:( That may change when I nip into town tomorrow.

I have mostly all the kids stuff in now........... apart from the Frozen busy book that seem to be in every other Home Bargains and Tesco but the stores in N.Ireland:mad: Need 2 of those as they come with small figures and a playmat. Can get evry other type but Frozen. The Works have them but I refuse to pay £8 for them when I know they can be gotten for £4 or £5:mad:

Bottoms were £8, Top was £6 and the jumper was £8. They were dear but over Christmas we live in Our pj's so worth it in the long run lol.

I'll try and put a pic up if I can

They were hidden away in a pokey corner in my store

The only reason I spotted them is because I saw a jumper up on the displays near the stairs by the entrance to the store that I wanted a closer look at and the snowmen fleeces were hidden right up against the stairs, so most people will not spot them.
