PLEASE tell me where you bought these books, I think it looks fabulous but the cheapest I can see is £10.49 from Amazon.
I have spent the last 3 hours reading these Christmas threads with Christmas music playing! Now I am back down to earth and have to wait until December, but I think I am going to have fun making my calendars etc.
Merry Christmas everyone!!

Sorry just seen this! I picked up these books in a Wyevale Garden Centre! Unfortunately my branch no longer has any in (I looked recently as I really wish I had picked up more as I have a few 50th birthdays coming up).

2nd lot of nice things bought - bars of 'mint source' soap - 97p at Morrisons. Smell luscious.

Also noticed Mint Source and Lime Source shower gel on BOGOF at Wilkinson's so will go down at weekend and get some of those too.

Edited to add: Also bought a packet of hair treatment sachet's "frizz and curl control" at 89p for one of my laydeez treat boxes

Just got some food for chrimbo - noticed tesco had a 2 for £3 on finest sausages and bogof on maple bacon a few weeks ago, so got them. Last night popped into Somerfied and noticed a leg of lamb reduced from £16 to £8 and topside beef joint was half-price too, so thats my christmas day and boxing day meat sorted Don't like Turkey so shant miss it

Just bought some more Crimbo pressies

Got some really cheap CDs - or at least I thought they were cheap. Got a triple CD of the Rat Pack for under a fiver, G4 for about £7 and a triple CD of sixties music for under a tenner. All at Tesco, so I get my clubcard points too

Just ordered some presents of books from the book people and pretty pendants from a jewellery site- so that my 11 year old has something to give to her friends at Christmas - also ordered some books from a book club and some more jewellery and cosmetics for her older sisters.

Going into York later to get special offer Christmas wrapping paper and maybe posh cards.

Racking my brains to think of somewhere I could get pretty boxes to put pendants or earrings in?

Still at least I have made a start.

Bought some Xmas pressies yesterday from Colony Candles (The actual Factory in Lindal-in-Furness) but I'm not saying what as they are for people who read these boards!

sorry - didn't realise caps lock was on!

There was another post somewhere with instructions for a snowflake topped box - I'll see if I can find it.

I think that one might be buried in the christmas support thread somewhere...
