    Good evening everyone

    VT, you are very talented, it looks fluffy to me :A

    Nip into Lidl on my dinner break today to use up the 40% off mocs from the christmas mag, they run out on the 18th Dec
    I bought 6 of each item, so 6 seperate shops on conveyer and told the cashier, all 6 shops are mine and I have mocs for each transaction, she said thats ok because you can re-use the mocs :D she only took one set off me and scanned it for all 6 shops then she went to give them back to me, they had dropped down the back of the till, she was very apologetic, I said no problem I still have 5 lots left :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: this was at the Accy Lidl not sure if other Lidls are doing the same
    I did notice on the way out that they did not have any of christmas magazine on the stand

    I tried to put 2 cheeses through at the weekend and the cashier insisted on separating them. Still can't find the chocolates:o
    I'm short on chocolates this year

    Bet elaine has loads. Think it was the first time we met in T when she spotted the Jewelry chocolate boxes ....I've never seen anyone move so fast:rotfl::rotfl:

    Got mine today perky.....all intact:)

    The colours are pinks and purples but I thought it was nude....not to worry a fab stocking filler:)

    They are fab arent they :j

    Colour is Palette Nude Eye shadow Palette Rose :)

    DD & 2 nieces will be happy :T
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    We didn't light the fire tonight bubbs.....it's so mild. It's going to wreak havoc with wildlife....it'll feel like the mating season has started, then we'll get a cold snap and it'll kill off lots of new born:o

    Thank you for all the compliments. Baby has a slightly scraggy face but I have decided it is just very young.

    Take care not to make it 'perfect' VT, as nature isn't perfect ;)

    I've got a brilliant range of crackers for this year:T

    I still have some of those Lidl chutneys from the presentation packs.

    Grapes and celery to buy:)

    I'm still crackerless at the moment. :eek:

    I have plenty of chutneys as the couple of approved food orders I have done this year I have bought some OOD. ;)

    Plus I have a couple from the JL hamper, think we used last years this year so have this years stashed. :D
