Am I a wanker...

[TessTackle]

... 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?

Glittery shit from poundland will be awesome! That's what makes it Christmassy in our house. Go for it. xx

What happened to good will & festive cheer, Tess?

See if you can pick some up in Poundland.

But don't use Poundland, since they exploit workfare.

Try the market :)

I'll try to stick to that rule special I didn't know about mid December sales?! Wanted to put the tree up end of Nov though tbh also against the rules, I know lol

those who instead of ignoring the post

Oh, OK, you want everyone to ignore you?

Okay

I'm full of goodwill and Christmas cheer until someone is arsey on a thread at me because they've had a shit day.. I'm all for a rant and rave, but not aimed at me

No garlic lol I mean if it's that offensive to their poor eyes that I wrote wanker

Not offensive, just misleading, tess, you got us all to read this thread thinking you were planning some true yuletide wankerish behaviour. You can't be surprised when we pull you up for misleading us when it turns out you are just talking about the price of tinsel.

The DCs tree will be full of pound land tinsel and baubles (their request for tinsel)

I remember Christmasses as a child with those shiny decorations that are pinned to the ceiling, it was shiny and fabulous!

TessTackle ive got to say your language and attitude stink and that is probably why you have got the backs of a few other posters up... buy as much sparkly tat as you like. .. not sure it was even a question wortg asking or why you were asking it... if you like it, buy it if you dont... look elsewhere!

Oh I think I LIKE you. That's more like it!

Banker I had no attitude until I was snipped at.
Like I said I'm doing this alone for the first time and wanted to make it the best for my DD. I'm aware my language is appalling, as are how many other peoples lol it's not that serious, god,

Banker don't try and cause a drama love, yawn!

As a child, I LOVED seeing loads of shiny Christmas decorations. We used to go to my dad's lovely best mate's house (he is sadly now deceased) every year just to see his extravagant decorations. They were I'm sure very cheap as he was on the breadline, and what many adults might deem tacky, but to a child's eyes it was magical. If you think your dd will love it, go for it. Poundland is great for this type of thing. I agree with a pp that charity shops are also a great place to pick up cheap Christmas decorations, if you have time to hunt around.

WorldPeace it's so hard to gauge f someone's being a genuine cunt or our sort of cunt
I prefer a mojito but right back at ya

It will be FINE. My first Christmas with the DC on my own was lovely, because it was stress free, argument free, and we could do it how we liked.

How old is DD? Get her to make decs, that's the best bit really.

She's 3 end of November WorldPeace I have seen some wooden decs on eBay that you can paint/throw glitter at yourself. Think I'll purchase!

Im not trying to cause a drama, it just seems to me your out for an argument...so I won't add fuel to your fire and I shall now ignore this thread as I should have in the first place! All this over bloody tinsel. .. who cares!

Now this is the TRUE meaning of Christmas. Everyone calling each other cunts

Yeah! Merry fucking Christmas you cunts!

I might make some seasonal coloured bunting spelling that out actually...

BitchTee I'm placing my pre order now!! The money I save being a pound land wanker I can give to you
