Did anyone else catch the sainsburys ad between Corrie about the English & the Germans during the world war, singing silent night & their game of football together at Christmas?

Peppapig & Ruth_honey You both beat me to it! I think the silver and gold said Merry Christmas ... very hard to tell!
I got gold stars and white snowflakes May go back for more yet... I use stars for birthdays too

I didn't see choc coins and notes, but I didn't really pause too much by the Christmas chocs or I'd of bought the lot! haha!
Also if anyone else is a sellotape geek they have scotch tape! 3 small rolls in a pack 2 packs for £2! I bought 4 ... I got 2 of the green magic invisible tape stuff (the standard one), 1 red which is clear shiny, and one blue which is apparently removable invisible.. I was intrigued! I'm hoping they still have some left when I go back again... should have bought more...

Edit: I knew these were cheap but I just checked price online, and 3 rolls of the invisible from staples is £5!! :eek:



I've been to meet with my friends today to discuss our Chirstmas meal! I've volunteered to do the veggie main again, I don't like turkey ! Probably just end up doing a squash jalousie like last year...

I had it my head you'd finished it already. No spoilers...;)
Because they're such short chapters, I tend to pick it up and read one or two every opportunity I got.

Wow, that is a bargain. I bought those Sellotape strips from costco a while back. They're pre cut strips and you can put them in a dispenser that sticks on a table, or one that you wear on your hand. They're very useful, although i do sometimes cut them in half because they're bigger than I'd usually use. I didn't see gold stars wrap there, but I didn't have a good rummage. I saw choc coins in Aldi, but maybe Lidl don't have them yet. Although they had a ton of other festive food!

Better head to bed. Blossom is grumping at me, so I think she's ready to curl up with us. Night all!

Danielle they look amazing!! What is hiding in the malteasers? I love malteasers.

I am pretty much done buying wise on the present front, just need to get a dishwasher and a phone then I'm done until I start wrapping then the stockings might throw a spanner in the works.

Love and hugs to all xxx

JJ may be kicked out today:j They are removing the bolt today so, I suppose depending on time, she goes home either today or tomorrow. I was planning to see her tomorrow afternoon, but as I said to her, in the nicest possible way, I hope I don't:D

quidsy

Blimey, I missed the mention of her going in this week, I knew they cancelled last week but fab news if they do send her home. Fingers & toes crossed.
