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.

Hi everyone, thankyou so so much for the lovely birthday wishes. I’ve had a lovely day, kids all gave me money, as I said I was desperate for new clothes......all spent online within an hour lol! DS has done everything today from breakfast to dinner, DD2 came round and we all ate a SW dinner. DD1 is in Chernobyl I know, I know she loves weird things like that lol.
I’ve just ordered her pjs for Christmas Eve. My Christmas food stash has ground to a halt as DD1 wants us to do a Brexit box! Will promise to get on here more x


VINTAGEHISTORIAN
I did an ice cream and toppings hamper once for my Dd2 & partner, they absolutely loved it

PRINCESSKITTY your Santa’s grotto visit sounds lovely. Yes Thumper is doing really well at school, seems to coping although so tired. Will find out results next week but still not good but thankyou x

LMG1305 I know he will be 5 at the end of this month! Thankyou, just hope dr can tell me what the problem is. Hope the house move goes well x

JJ sorry to hear you have been in and out of hospital again. Keep strong as always x

PEPPAPIG thankyou, I don’t know if it is the fibro or not it’s puzzling! The kids are like my carers atm 😧
Yes we are all relieved Thumper has settled well, I know DD2 was worried sick. Your rudolf wreaths sound fab!

GETTINGTHEREQUICKLY sorry to hear about your uncle. Hope you had a good holiday

NOODLES blimey that brought back some memories, Redwings, I sponsored a horse for each of the kids for years when they were little

MANDCO aww thankyou, oh that is good to hear that they don’t talk about their day, he just says everything lol, what did you do today? Everything What did you like doing? I liked everything. Today DD2 friend text her to say Thumper had earned some housepoints so she asked him, what did you get housepoints for? Everything, what are housepoints mummy? Lol 😂

GYD bless your mum, I hope she is not suffering too much from side effects. Christmas is a good excuse for really nice food and treats
