    @Baileys_Babe and @badmemory I have a few 1000 piece jigsaws I haven’t started yet, but no wasgijs…I love the snowy/Christmas scenes.
    We always do snowy/Christmas jigsaws as part of advent, we also like the 1000 piece ones.

    It's a few months since we last did a jigsaw, think i will get one out early next week.

    Why it's bonkers or why it happens? If you look at the youtube clip it explains the whys and wherefores underneath. There's also a bar in Beale Street that has Irish Diving goats.

    Woohoo, payday! 🥳🥳🥳
    Just added to to my pots and plan the spend the evening gloating over them like King John in the Robin Hood cartoon before I start smashing into them to spend. I MUST buy 7yo a new mattress (new bed arriving next week) but it's just such a an uninspiring purchase for all my hard saving these last couple of months!

    A bit of both really. I loved the red carpet and the fact they have a hotel shaped house to live in 😁
    Irish diving what now?? 😳

    Perfect 🤣 I always imagine myself as Scrooge mcduck swimming in his coins 🤣
    a mattress is uninspiring. I actually bought a dirt cheap super king sized bed and mattress from Amazon ‘to put us on’ when the old v expensive bedstead died…and it’s surprisingly comfortable and will last quite a while. Delivery was free that way too…might be worth a look? (Disclaimer…I do not work for Amazon 🤣)

    @beanielou it is isn’t it? If I can’t manage on this I need beating! 
    @jokono what a fab idea. Let us know which one you choose.

    I content myself with online jigsaws that nobody else in the house or passing through can fiddle with. I recently persuaded the HT that he needed a new mattress. The one that he had used to be mine and his dads and was older than him! His argument was that it was comfortable. Armed with a discount code that gave me £40 off I bought his from Very and just paid for it. I'd have bought one from Argos but it was too complicated trying to figure out which ones were actually available. I've not had any complaints so far about the new one.
