Welcome HANCOCKS871. Through bitter experience I’ve found it’s best to either write posts in Word and copy and paste them over or, since I’ve been on the iPad, I copy the post every few minutes so that if I get timed out I can just paste it back again and then post straight away.

Welcome HANCOCKS87,

Went into wilko's today and got my choc orange for 75p but I am tempted to eat it tonight.
Bought some lovely wax lyrical bauble votive candles in TKmaxx for £1.29 for stocking fillers. They did it in two scents wintergreen and ski lodge. Ski lodge smells lovely wasn't keep on the wintergreen one. They can also be hung on tree too as they come boxed as a bauble. My local wilko hadn't got its Christmas stuff out yet which is disappointing.

How is everyone doing?

I walked past my local Wilko's yesterday and saw tubs of celebrations for £3, which I think is the cheapest I've seen them? SM's tend to push them in the build up to Xmas but I thought they were £5. Is Wilko's any good for Xmas stuff? I don't think I've ever shopped in there.

Welcome Hancocks871

Sainsburys xmas section is getting bigger picked up some xmas tree tortilla chips today.They have the xmas food to order magazine out too - £5 argos voucher on orders of £80+ before dec 2

Boots xmas mag is out but very disappointing this year

Saw the ads for the candy cane Gin & 6ft pig in blanket aldis are doing this year so will have to keep an eye open for those once they go on sale- stock sells out so fast in my nearest store
also hoping to get the elf icecream from asda

Looking for cocktail hamper ideas- not a big drinker myself so any suggestions much appreciated

Argh , I lost my reply too!

Will start doing regular copy and pastes.

Thank you for the brilliant sloth link.

I have got 3 days holiday booked from work to go further a field for Xmas present shopping. Also want to catch up with some loved ones. I am going to do my best to not go overboard this Xmas but I'm like an excited child with Xmas shopping.

I also have some birthdays end of December/beginning of January to buy for.

Wilkinson/ Asda / wait rose and tesco had some good deals with stuff like chocolates , selection boxes and Xmas sweets.

Thinking of doing some 'pots of gold' too.

Right , need a shower , fold the laundry and get to work. Have a great day everyone!

One year I got half of my shopping in wilko as they had some lovely gifts but last year it was a bit of a hit and miss. Wilko has some good offers on confectionery sometimes too.
