I’ve found lots at £17.99 and a chrysanthemum in a pot at £16.99

QUite a few people visits their loved ones graves at this time of the year and chrysanthemums are one of the few things suitable to take so possibly it might be useful for someone.

Morning all

Well the beds are changed and the guest room has the Christmas duvet on it. Finally finished most of the present wrapping at 6 last night despite numerous interuptions from OH - just one big box and 2 bottles to wrap tommorow.
And the 2 books that are still en route to do.
I think I am getting too ancient and decrepit to wrap presents - last night lower back stiff, knees imflamed and painfull from being on the floor for hours on end, neck stiff - no easy way of doing it. If I did it all using the dining room table the back would seize altogether ...
But at least the vax is en route, emergency substitute for the dyson that died on Monday. The house is covered in glitter shed from this wrapping paper I've been using, we will still be finding it next summer.
And the tree is up with lights although very sparse, not much in the way of decorations yet ..

Morning, I was wanting to get some Heinz Macaroni in the 5 for £3 glitch, know the Heinz soup that was a trigger has stopped working but thought someone said the Bachelors cup a soup was now a trigger, had a look back and can only see reports of buying 5 lots of cup a soups.
Also has anyone bought the walkers tomato ketchup and hula hoops lately
Thanks

I bought 5 cup a soup on own compared 1.07 v 90 S even though I only paid £3. Haven't checked prices this week though.

Are there any beer offers please curlgirl?
Cause I remember you posting trigger beers and good comparisons a while back.

Nice mild damp day here, feels strange not getting any Christmas prep as we will be at parents

But I do need to find small presents for Fourp to unwrap there, that will fit in suitcase. He had the Happy Christmas helicopter ride in October ..

When we were lining up outside to go into their hall I overheard a woman speaking to her friend about the story of Christmas and how she was explaining it to her children, she must have been mid thirties. Anyway she said her husband was saying to them he wasn’t sure if it was the birth of Christ or the death of Christ they were celebrating :eek: I honestly couldn’t believe it!

That's why it's so important we teach our kids! Shocking!

Good morning, on the same vein I was at a playgroup Christmas play and the teacher started with " our story starts two hundred years ago", I nearly fell off my seat:cool:, what chance have the kids ?

Good morning Elite.
Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
I'm out shopping for my best friend's daughter today. No really - I have become a personal shopper! She has sent me a list of what to get as they don't finish school until Friday. Christmas shopping through the eyes of an 11 year old.
