Morning all
Feisty, Thanks for the suggestion about changing the font and typing it out, I think I'll go with that.
Found out my best friend is coming round later, so I'm busy writing cards for her and her family and wrapping her pressie.
Just watched the boots ad, might see if the Lewis one goes online before I have to head out.
Have a great day all, I'll try and catch up later, I'm really busy today.

Morning everyone. Just popping in before I head off to work I'm that tired though that I'd much prefer being in bed. Not feeling too great at all. Had I not had children I would be phoning in sick I think............ and I NEVER do that

I just shed a couple of tears over the Jl ad as well, more because it made me think of people who I can't share Christmas with anymore.

Have a lovely day everyone, I'm off to change my mascara before I go out.

Morning everyone, only 7 weeks to go!!!
Didn't have time to post yesterday had a very busy day...but I've caught up now and here's the link to the JL advert for this year, it also has some of the other ones that are out atm and previous years' JL ones.

I do quite like the ad this year and it's very heart-warming but not especially Christmassy if you ask me!
Thanks to everyone who gave me advice about midnight mass, I think it's best to give it a go and then see if we want to make it a tradition...
Free I do have the days until Christmas up all year but there are only 2 blocks so I have to wait until double figures before actually starting the countdown
04624181 well done on the wine win I'd be sozzled for the foreseeable future if I won 12 bottles of wine lol
Congratulations Kaya, good to hear your blog is so successful!
TGIF! This week has really dragged and have a relatively quiet weekend to look forward to (I must be getting old!lol)
I'm hoping to pop in the Range on Saturday so I'm quite excited about that plus the OH said he wants us to get some more Christmas jumpers in Primarni, hope there are still some left! I also got my Christmas t-shirts down from the loft last night so I'll now be wearing Christmas t-shirts as PJs every night - until it's December and acceptable to wear them out in public lol

Well the JL add is depressing! Good message though.

Just for those who were waiting (like me..!)

Costa Christmas Menu

Starbucks Christmas Menu

:beer:

Omg they all sound delicious, not usually much for Costa or Starbucks as I'm a black coffee kinda girl so don't like paying their prices when I could buy a jar of coffee for the same price lol but will definitely be paying a visit when out Christmas shopping!.
Had a voucher emailed from very for £30 off £60 spend plus they have 20% off toys so a few more presents bought. Although they all seem to be for my youngest son and not the older 2.
Finally the Argos 3 4 2 is on!
49 days to go! :xmastree:

My niece's ELC tea set arrived today. It's really cute. Seems good enough plastic that she (hopefully) wont be able to break it!

A NotOnTheHighstreet catalogue also came. The jewellery in it is soooo pretty. Not exactly cheap most of it though.

Hope you're all having a great day xx

Went in argos this morning. it was dead... strange when its 3 for 2 starter day.. i guess my town has done their shopping last time lol.. it was 9:30 they opened at 9 i think and i was the 3rd customer lol..

Managed to get 3 packs of the 12 shopkins for £19.95.. only a couple of matching ones but dd4 won't care. i'm hoping they bring the shopkins dolls out over here before xmas but im very tempted to get one shipped from america next week so she def has one to open.

Got some fun bits from peacocks and some more of the tescos half price smellies sets. At least everyone will smell nice this year lol

I think i've finally found the water colour pencils and the alcohol markers dd2 wants for xmas. then shes nearly done. just dd1 to get a few more bits for oh and a lava lamp and headphones for dd3. So close to finishing!!!

Dh got another surprise ppi pay out yesterday. He's debating if to put it in to the house deposit fund or get our car back on the road. maybe he should do both huh lol Car shouldn't cost that much. Time will tell.

Feeling really xmasy atm.
