Hello all!

Thanks for the deal of the day! Will look for bits for Goddaughter for xmas again next year! Just hope she is still in to it as kids change so much at her age (6) xx

Got my hair cut finally and still dieting well! Me and cous will be doing a exercise dvd later as well as part of our new exercise regime! Then going for a meal with a lovely man I have been seeing for a little while x

If you want a hand searching, just give me a list to find

Thank You.

They is no list. It's just any site/blog etc that you think would be useful.

On the 2012 thread we posted links as we found them. I just saved the sites as they were posted, as people kept forgetting which posts the links were in.
Last year I posted them all at the beginning so they were easy to find. This year I just copied them without thinking they may not still be there.

To be honest I have no idea if any of the links are even used. They are just there incase anyone wants a look.

So if anyone comes across a useful site please post a link and I will add it to the first page.

Just had crappy shopping trip in Sainsbury. Never want to set foot in there again. Total waste of time & petrol. :mad:
Now curled up with a gingerbread latte, some Lindt Lindor truffles and I'm going to bury my head in a book (well, kindle). If the brats upstairs carry on running around, I might well have a meltdown...

I meant particularly if you wanted help to try and find some of the ones which have moved or magically "disappeared", but of course I'm sure we'll all keep chipping in as we find things throughout the year. We're a good team when it comes to shopping for Christmas bargains and finding all things Christmas craft related

I think it would be useful if there was a link to the Christmas food list that was created in the last thread. Is it possible to just link to that post directly? Also, could you add me to the birthday list please, 7th August

Oh no! Why was it so rubbish? I'm sure lindor truffles will help thought, they're amazing! I got the white choc lindors for Christmas from DH and my dad said he'd died and gone to chocolate heaven when I offered him one

Your first task is to find the full shopping list in the last thread :rotfl:

Will add your birthday.

I have found links to The Polar Express Party and printable tickets, so I'm happy.

Eta Don't worry, just realised I saved the food shop post. Not sure if it was added to after I saved it, but can add to it if needed. Post 18.

I need a little help please. My DS has been told he needs to dress as his favourite book character on Friday for school. He wants to dress as Sir Charlie Stinky Socks! Has anybody seen anything in the shops that could be used to make a costume? Sorry I still can't post links but if you google the name the books come up. Any help would be much appreciated.

Useless staff, stupid 'fast track' machine that is actually slower than queuing up normally, not being able to find what I needed...Give me tesco any day.
Anyway, I've calmed down now. The truffles helped a lot. Only had two, but my goodness, they are so so yummy! I had a caramel box from DH at Christmas and the milk choc ones from the cat.
Went a bit mad this morning and ordered myself a corset. It was reduced to £35 but when I last looked at it, the larger sizes were an extra £10 and now they're not, so paying £5 p+p didn't feel as painful! It's reversible too, so almost like two for the price of one.

You mean you don't get all that in your Tesco? I'd better start shopping at your local one in that case
I find Morrisons is the absolute worst for bad shopping experiences. Slow till staff, massive queues and self-service tills which seem to be deliberately out to get me is usually enough to stop me from going in there (although I did make an exception for the £1 chocolate oranges a few months back!).

And if it makes you feel any better, I got charged in Sainsburys earlier today for a full-price roll of Christmas wrapping paper that I didn't want, but I only realised once I'd got back in the car and was about to drive off. I forced myself to go to walk back to CS and claim back my £1.99 though :rotfl:
