Forgot to say I am really enjoying the a winters tale by Trisha Ashley, popped into the works and got three more Christmas novels for £5 so that's plenty of Christmas reading for me over the next few weeks.:)

I have got an idea for my reindeer craft I've just got to get some glue for my glue gun.

GTQ - bit late on this but that's such bad news, hope the little boy is alright though.
Your stockings all look fab, wish I had an ounce of talent and creativity and could make something like that.
I saw a house with Christmas lights on driving home the other day! way to early in my opinion, but I did add some Christmas music to my iTunes ready to put on my ipod when it's socially acceptable to be listening to Christmas music.

I've bought some giant Christmas window stickers for the front windows but I will resist the urge to put them up until first weekend in December. I did buy a new decoration from the book box in the staffroom this week it's a red sign with North Pole written on outlined in little light bulbs it's battery operated so I can put that in the kitchen window and have my net of fairy lights in the front bedroom window. The neighbour's have a brilliant light display it's one of those laser type things that projects onto the house, it looks great-Like colourful snowflakes dancing all over.

Where did you get the giant window stickers from? We now have huge windows and not a clue what to do with them!

They were from amazon. If you put Christmas window stickers large in the search barit's the 2nd one up.
Topro X Large Merry Christmas Santa Claus Gift Show Window Wall Art Sticker...
They were £5 when I got them they are £10 now

Does anyone have experience of magnifying lamps please?

Finally decided on Cath Kidston colouring books for my mum for Christmas and then yesterday she told me that she's having trouble seeing her jigsaw puzzles because her close up glasses aren't doing anything. She actually has cataracts although not bad enough to have surgery at the moment so now I'm thinking she won't be able to use the books. However, then I thought maybe for her birthday at the end of this month I could get her one of those magnifying craft lamps. Has anyone used one? I've no idea which style is best and don't really want to spend more than about twenty to thirty pounds although could go halves with my sister which would give us about sixty pounds if needed. Any help or advice appreciated.

TRIFLE,the food of the gods,I could live off it.Suitable for breakfast dinner and tea in my book !

I have found the chocolate coins in a bag in my friends boot.

I took her to my secret junk shop yesterday as she is new to the area and is looking for a 60's style dressing table.She didn't get one but I got a small plate rack/shelf.I have almost finished stripping it.It's oak.Just what I have been looking for to go in the porch.£3 bargain.

I also took her to Poundstretcher (she is so posh she has never been before) I got a marmite tin of biscuits for not much.Daughter loves marmite. Friend was laden with stuff.She loves slumming it with me.

Enjoy Bonfire night. Vx
