Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread

I think what happens with the shop small, is that businesses agree to participate early on, then they get taken over/cease trading or whatever, and therefore appear on list under the name when they originally agreed to take part. I found a Costcutter on the map, but when I visited it, it had changed to a Premier...apparently, they changed hands recently. Awaiting a £5 credit from Amex

Had my refund from MS, e-giftcard, which I will use shortly to send a gift of flowers to some special people who have had a bereavement this year and for whom Christmas won't be the same.

That will conclude my gift-buying for 2016. I just need to get one special card and that's it.

Seems to have been a lot easier this year, mostly because I bought the kids big presents back in January and for once I have stuck to my intentions and not bought sacks full - if you saw their playroom you'd think Santa must be visiting daily. Ditto their wardrobes, sometimes I think the best thing I could give in that department would be an hour or two's ironing. :rotfl:

So all done apart from food, which is another story...

I had a dreadful nights sleep last night, no idea whatsoever why - I must have got some sleep between about 3 and 6 - I was wide awake when OHs alarm went off.

Dentists this afternoon and in the meantime numerous parcels are due so no giving in to mid morning slumps on the sofa ...

I had a dreadful nights sleep too, but I know exactly why. Just been for my smear test, anything medical really makes me very nervous, no idea why apart from maybe going to the doctor's when I was a small child was used as a punishment by my parents (I know, but different times then). Even going to the opticians does it

I was quite surprised at how many shops at Bluewater are on the shop small map.....only little shops, but worth a look if you are going there anyway

Good morning all...

I'm still looking in from the sidelines...but need to pop in to support my dear friend cjj....the nightime is always the hardest sweetheart but you will see the light when you are ready x

Sarah....I hope today goes as you will want it to x

I'm in a dark place at the moment but I know I will come through it...I'm reading but the interaction is a struggle...I've wanted to reply to so many posts recently but the words have not come out as I would have wanted ....so at the risk of potentially causing offence I have just read!
Christmas and the lead up is a difficult time for many people so in the hustle and bustle of daily life please try and be kind to those around you and above all don't take things to heart.
Uplifting pictures are the order of the day.....
