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?

AbiRoad I don't like it either, but DD has never seen it! So feel like I owe it to her for one year

World My ex MIL would do that kind of shit, I'm sure on purpose Grin

Wilkinsons for classy singing reindeer and shit and poundland/stretcher for yards and yards of tinsel with proper Christmas smell and boxes of cheap plastic baubles with some stick on real diamonds and glue glitter so that dd can make them look exactly the same as those Harrods ones. Those cunts aren't fooling me!

How old is DD, Tess?

I love the theme of choosing a new special bauble each year - I did this for a few years with my DDs - it's lovely remembering each one at Christmas. We painted some at Shugborough one year Smile Lovely memories for them.

The elves are very upset with your post and they have been sending us letters down the chimney that were written in their tears. For peace and harmony, we had no choice. It also read like a PA, which are against our talk guidelines.

TessTackle · 24/09/2013 20:29
