    If you like Molton Brown, I can recommend buying it from QVC when it’s on Today’s Special Value. You can pay over 3 or 4 instalments too. I always get mine from there, works out much cheaper than buying it from the shops and QVC delivery is super fast. I don’t sit there watching it on TV by the way, I signed up to email alerts when it’s on offer. I’ve just had an alert it’s coming on offer in the next day or so.

    Morning WW and all

     not long now til payday and October journaling.

    I have just booked tickets to Hyde Park Winter wonderland.  We usually go to Australia every year to see family, but that obviously not happening  again this year, so a little treat is in order, love all the sparkle etc. Only about 90 minutes for us to drive to Canary Wharf to park car and tube in.

    enjoy those precious two days.....

  • A winter wonderland sounds amazing!
    Thanks SA, I haven’t looked at QVC for years. I do have a stash of Molton brown and kneipp bath oils I found lurking in the back of the bathroom cupboard, so I’m set for quite a while, but I’ll keep an eye on qvc for when they are used up 😊

    I used to order Lindy Bowman Christmas boxes from there. Beautiful boxes with pictures/decoration inside as well as out. I love a good box! I was so sad when they stopped getting them in.

    I looked at the Temple Spa advent & it was a similar price!
    People must buy them though!

    Harrods shoppers maybe? I think I’m being lavish with a Hotel choc, Thornton’s or Lindor one (and I enjoy those more) 🤣

    I used to have the You beauty advent calendar every year before adult advent calendars became a thing. They stopped doing them a while ago. The M&S one was good but they haven’t done it for a couple of years.

  • I don’t think I’d use everything from a beauty advent calendar. I like the idea of them, but I don’t remember to use most things. M & S have a L’Occitane one, I was just looking for nice chocolate ones on there, but they didn’t have any.

    @WinterWarrior it's involved Gary Barlow and gin! We went to see GB play what we thought was an intimate album review but he played lots of old songs too in a 45 minute set. He was no further than 20 feet away from me. Friend and I both took the bus soon the pub having a quick G&T.
    Ooh was this in Kingston, London ? I was there too for the evening one …..
