*Stop The Cavalry* It's The 2014 Christmas Chatter Thread

Lidl sell the mini Stollen as well, v.nice and gingerbread biscuits!

I went to a few shops this afternoon, including the 99p store and bought some christmasey stickers and a really nice christmassy tin that i'm going to put cookies I make in.

I'm annoyed though because the packet of stickers clearly states 300 and when I opened it I thought it looked a little short but after counting have discovered it's only 160! :mad: I probably won't use 160 but I expected 300.. that is what I thought I had paid for!

They are cute stickers and were only 99p so i'm not out much but just think i've been mis-sold! Do you think they all will be like that? Or should I take it back to the shop to exchange? I know it's only a little thing but annoying

Also picked up two parts of pressies for friends in the original factory shop. Cute tealight holders with their name on so when the tealight is lit it shines through.. sounds a bit daft but is looks nice. Might put a yankee candle tealight with it

Long time lurker here but just had to post to say that you should definitely take the stickers back to the shop. They may have only cost 99p but you have only got just over half of what you expected and paid for. It's not the money but the principle here.

Love reading all of your plans for Christmas but have to say I really haven't started yet. I really need to get my thinking cap on and start to plan.

can't believe its only 11 Fridays until Christmas

Not much on the Christmas front today other than our Panto tickets arriving, ordered them on Friday and they came today and got them BOGOF as well so was an added bonus Going to try and do something every day in December with the kids and possibly thinking about getting an elf as this will probably be the last year my girl believes in it all have any of you lovely people done the elf on a shelf? xx

Goodness, how could I forget to tell you about the first Christmas food fare I sampled?!? Aldi had the mini stollen in and I just couldn't resist! I had a piece with my lunch mmmmmmmm

I'm sure they weren't out until November last year?

I've already eaten a box of the lidl mini stollen..... my favourite!! And we're out of cat food... guess where I'm going tomorrow...
