I am home (just watched Last Tango In Halifax )

Fabulous day in Cheshire Oaks (for me ) Bought some gorgeous cerise pink UGGs with bows on the back for £80 - less than blue UGGs from The Outlet, so I can now return those

Then I found the perfect Barbour coat for Fourp - it's Harris Tweed & divine.
Then I went into Clogau & spotted the necklace that matches my wedding ring


for £210 :j:jit's all solid gold

for reference this is my wedding ring

no trigger for the chocs sadly :mad:

I just got the 3 we wanted as I needed to use up 2 big APGs and to get a few essential bits and pieces

I'm sorry, I should have paid more attention to the prices on your receipt! It does show £10 for three. My bad.:o Did we have any glitch with Christmas chocolate this year? I'm getting desperate now...

The B&Q Christmas tree - my local store had just one tree left for a stupid price (£50 or something) so sent OH out to other towns... He came back with a £2 tree in the end. If anyone is looking for one , Belvedere store had quite a few priced £1 or £2.:)

Collected my free lego (MyMail) this afternoon - just had a look and it's very nice for 2,000 points.

They've stopped doing it now, so it will have to be vouchers next time.

ETA 1200 points it was, so even better

Good evening I hope you have enjoyed your day. Womble £9.05 dated today.

The Build A Bear wasn't so successful for my friend & her son.
He wanted Chase (Paw Patrol) & Cheshire Oaks didn't have him

But nearest BaB was Chester & we rang them, Yes they had Chase :j

So off to Chester - haven't been to Chester for 10 years :o
But I did locate T K Maxx immediately

Anyway when I got home I had a slight wobble that coat won't fit him, so I smuggled another of his Barbours upstairs & placed it upon the new one.
YES :j:j:j exact size :D:D

Fourp has kindly offered to give me the necklace for Christmas :D:D
Better than a step ladder

Christmas chocs - best ones seem to be aldi liquer cherries, chocolate ginger, choc truffles

Please be advised that all employees planning to dash through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh, going over the fields and laughing all the way are required to undergo a Risk Assessment addressing the safety of open sleighs. Seatbelts must be worn by all passengers, with crash helmets a requirement in the absence of roll bars.
The assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly where there are multiple passengers. Please note that permission must also be obtained in writing from landowners before their fields may be entered. To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.
Benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available for collection by any shepherds planning or required to watch their flocks at night. While provision has also been made for remote monitoring of flocks by CCTV cameras from a centrally heated shepherd observation hut, all facility users are reminded that an emergency response plan must be submitted to account for known risks to the flocks. The angel of the Lord is additionally reminded that prior to shining his/her glory all around s/he must confirm that all shepherds are wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to account for the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory.
Following last year’s well publicised case, everyone is advised that legislation prohibits any comment with regard to the redness of any part of Mr. R. Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr. R Reindeer from reindeer games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offence.
While it is acknowledged that gift-bearing is commonly practiced in various parts of the world, particularly the Orient, everyone is reminded that the bearing of gifts is subject to Hospitality Guidelines and all gifts must be registered. This applies regardless of the individual, even royal personages. It is particularly noted that direct gifts of currency or gold are specifically precluded under provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Further, caution is advised regarding other common gifts, such as aromatic resins that may initiate allergic reactions.
Finally, for those involved in the recent case of the infant found tucked up in a manger without any crib for a bed, Social Services have been advised and will be arriving shortly.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas – be safe out there.......

Surprises me that they haven't developed an enthusiasm pill that I can take for Christmas

Can I have a double dose please?


Has anyone managed to send a physical Amazon gift card to Australia? I sent one to Singapore the other year somehow, but cant manage to sort it this year. Knew I should have sorted this earlier, lol. Looks like an email card it is.

I can recommend the lidl seashells, eaten a box already :eek: i did say that everything tastes nicer before Christmas rather than after when you are using things up!

That's my excuse. :
