Am I a wanker...

... to buy poundland tinsel and trimmings?

I've just ordered the first 24 (of maybe 100 I have planned) baubles and have got quite nicey ones.

Theme wise I'm going traditional coca cola advert red white and gold...

So ramblings aside, would I be a wanker to get as much tinsel (and possibly shiny glittery beads on a string) from poundland??

Should I invest more to make it perfect for DD?

Ps mumsnet I meant cuntwash nicely honestly. I was not being mean to Jesus.

Bollockeyes · 24/09/2013 23:29

IamChristmas · 24/09/2013 23:30

I'm aware that last post sounded slightly barking. I meant that earlier it was Jesusinacabbagevan posting, and now it's jesusthemessiah. Are they one and the same? I can't be expected to fight multiple jesuses..(Jesi ??)

You were picking on Ocado Jesus before christmas, now you're facing the real deal

Bollockeyes · 24/09/2013 23:37

Santa took Rudolph up the oxo towet!

IamChristmas · 24/09/2013 23:45

Yeah Jesus well you're just lucky that I've decided to let you off the hook FOR NOW, as Christmas is tired and needs to sleep.
But tomorrow I just may well kick your sorry arse all over the shop, omnipotent fucker or not.

Night all

Oi! I'm the real deal! Cabbages are in the bible and everyfink! Jesusthemessiah is a cheap imposter - much like yer Poundland tinsel. I, on the other hand, am a top of the range M&S bauble.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 25/09/2013 11:10

Christmas? Ohhhh Christmas? You pissed the bed...

ShakeAndVac · 25/09/2013 11:12

She's 3, and at that age and my age she'll just be awed by all the sparkle and glittery lights! She won't care whether it's Harrods or Poundland.

As for whoever said Wilkos is the place though, YES!
Wilko's is the BEST for Christmas. They do singing reindeers and stuff!! Press the reindeers paw and reindeer and Santa start jingling bells, dancing and singing Jingle Bells!! Grin
I love ours Grin

OKnotOK · 25/09/2013 12:11

After reading this unholy tacky shiny fuckbag of a thread i have now been inspired to fill my house with sweatshop manufactured metalic shite from poundland/wilko's/poundstrecher etc.
My DD will be blinded either by the glare or by the residulal chemicals used in the manufacture.
Im sick of being "tasteful & restrained"...bring on the cheap as fuck glitz.

Merry fucking Christmas...you cunts! Grin

cheekycherryza · 25/09/2013 15:48

If I am honest I don't remember how much tinsel or what decorations were on our tree as a kid. I remember having fun baking with my mom and drawing pictures for Christmas cards for my friends. It's about the overall experience. I mean your DD is not going to say when she's 24 - 'well my mum was a cheapskate who could only be bothered to shop at Poundland for Tinsel instead of Debenhams?' No! She's going to tell people how special her mom made Christmas for her every year.

TessTackle · 25/09/2013 15:49

Yes!! Let's all upload photos of our tack fests Grin

Tess you can make Christmas special for your DD by never, EVER showing her this thread. Or at least not till she's in Uni. Grin

TessTackle · 25/09/2013 17:23

Hahaha Jesus, I'll save it for uni Grin

Incidentally,Christmas did not wet the bed last night and having had an exceptionally long day...again....has popped into this thread just long enough to poke Jesus in the eye and run out again

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 25/09/2013 18:57

Ow!

IamChristmas · 25/09/2013 19:00

You asked for it you cabbage botherer :)

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 25/09/2013 19:17

Given that sprouts are essentially smelly cabbages, and therefore that Christmas is an orgy of cabbage bothering, I would call that rather rich coming from YOU.

TessTackle · 25/09/2013 19:34
