* Walking in a Winter Wonderland * - It's the 2015 Christmas Chatter Thread

I remember last year the tubs were 2 for £6 in tesco in around September or October, but must gave only been for a few days because I remember buying 2 for the house & then went back a few days later to get some for work & they had gone up to £5 each then.

I am going to keep an eye on them, I don't want to buy them too early because we end up opening them too soon & then have to buy another one in December but then I don't want to pay too much for them. I think I'll have to buy them & hide them somewhere until the beginning of December.

We don't have a Works store by us anymore. There used to be one in the closest city centre to me but they've had massive redevelopments over the last 5 years or so, which means a lot of the shops either relocated or just completely closed down. I did like The Works as I always managed to find a few good bargains in there. I'll have to see if there's a shop in another town within a reasonable distance.

I love listening to Christmas music but have always had a rule that I can't listen to any until at least 1st November, but if you're all listening to them then maybe I can bend the rules a bit. Maybe I'll just listen to a few on my iPod on my way into work or something.

Princesskitty - thank you, I've been trying to think of something else to put in my sisters Christmas hampers & didn't think of a diary so I'm going to have a look for some now.

Morning all
Hope everyone is well
Just read the weather in the morning paper it said once we get over this rain the frosts will arrive. Think we can safely say summer is over.
Going for roots colour this morning so will take a book or my knitting hoping to do more Christmas cross stitch later once the sky is inplace I can start on Santa looking I forward to that bit so much.

Have a good day all

Oh my goodness it was cold this morning! We haven't switched our heating back on yet & have been trying to hold off for a as long as possible, but I think if it gets any colder I will have to put it on because it's not nice getting out of bed when it's so cold


I'm going to do a bit of Christmas shopping today. I've been adding things to my list over the last few days of things I want to get, so I'm going to try & get some stuff crossed off that list :j

kaya I unsubscribed from lots of things recently as I was getting hundreds of emails so haven't had anything Christmassy yet, but I have just signed up to hear first when tickets go on sale for ice skating at Somerset House. A friend and I go ice skating in London every year but we haven't been there yet.

linz I want to watch lots of Christmas films after watching The Grinch the other day but I don't normally do it this early so trying to hold off so I don't peak too soon! I only watched The Grinch as it's not one of my favourites but it still gave me that warm, fuzzy Christmassy feeling inside!

3forholidays how's the comping going?

It is really cold today, I've had to pull my big fluffy winter jumper out of the back of the wardrobe! I was walking into town earlier and texting someone and my fingers started to hurt as they were so cold! September has been quite nice in recent years so it'll be interesting to see what happens and whether we do get frosts already!

I'm soldiering on with my KonMari de-cluttering, I've now done clothes, shoes and jewellery. When she first started talking about sorting though by category rather than by room etc I thought what's the difference? It's all going to be sorted out anyway! But actually it does feel better knowing that I've done all my clothes and now i'm moving on to the next thing, i'm converted and think it's a much better way of doing it. I'm hoping to get as much done as possible so that I've had a really good clear out in time for Christmas. I've only been doing it a few days and already have four bags in the spare room waiting to go to the charity shop and one was put out the other day for collection! I WILL have a tidy and clutter free home!

Haribo1 - What was the Walking Dead t-shirt like? Was it in the men's section? Sounds ace, I want one!
