No!!! They MUST go up earlier. Actually just got my first boxes down from the loft a few minutes ago. My Christmas salt & pepper sets. Just about to dust my ones on display racks and box them up ready to swap over to the Christmas ones. This will take mot of the afternoon to do as 3 big boxes full to get through. Going to feed the cake next then maybe some mince pies with 10p mince meat (probably out of date!) as I will have the oven on anyway. I use sweet paste as find they are much nicer.

I sense a little excitement in your post:D

How's your chocolate stash looking this year elaine?

Banked a large tax rebate.Popped in sainsbugs to get 23 wombled points put on.

Went to tesco hoping to get fish for cos but they had none.So I bought 2 Bernard Mathews turkey breast roast.My cat loves this ever since I bought 2 when I won £5 on one of tweets competitions.

The sa said"these are for the up and go right.They are £1".I said yes and he scanned all five for £1.79 and gave a little laugh and said"that will be 35p":rotfl::rotfl:

Went to Mr T....armed with Bubbs list.

Only 4 U&G on shelf so they stayed there. Got trouted, as would only take 1 coupon per transaction on Hipps and soups. (Gave the rest back).

Will console myself with cream doughnut and cup of tea in a minute.

Hope others are having more luck!

Second on the left, front row is Alan Hall and I used to go out with him in year 5. He went on to become a bank manager for Barclays. I've only seen once since and we were in a baby shop buying prams simultaneously. We never acknowledged each other but I pondered over how his wife looked a lot like me:eek:

Or it might not be him. I'm not sure now I've had a good look:o

Hi TM,
Chocolate stash is non existent - same as my supposed diet. I do have some 'hidden' for emergencies, but really trying to be good and only buy healthy and what we need. Ideally want to loose a stone, but struggling to actually loose a pound.
Just waiting for someone to find a glitch in the 3 for £10 chocs so I can get the pressies finished.
I am starting to get the Christmas feeling. Just finished first Xmas CD whilst swapping the S&P pots over. 2nd one going on now whilst making mince pies, a quiche and a quick cake for tea. H and DD have gone out in disgust.
