Rubbish start to advent here. DCs ill, missed lantern parade in town yesterday, DCs up at 5, Ds (3) got his advent calendar down while I was in the shower and opened half the windows, then stropped because he didn't have a cholocate when DD had hers. ugh.

[tchgrin]

It's a shame that some of us have poorly, absent, cheeky dcs this morning after all the planning but see it as the Christmas set back. It can only get better right? [tchhmm]

Thanks raisah 'twas me! Sadly they have a delivery charge I am too tight to pay! If I have no joy at lidl will go there, thanks!!

katz I ordered stuff from the italian place and it looks beautiful. Not opened it as it's a hamper present.

Elf cosmetics are doing 50% of everything today. www.eyeslipsface.co.uk code is 501113. I've just ordered some make up brush sets and eyeshadow pallets for stocking fillers.

We have a poorly house too. Had to cancel our weekend to bath. Dd had a chest infection, ds and dp have an ear infection and I have a horrible cold!

I love ELF cosmetics, thanks!

Can any of you London/Harrods shopping people help me.

We are just onto sorting out the staff Christmas presents. We have 2 women who really are so lovely and want a gift from Harrods. Now my brother (and business partner) is off to the big smoke next week but won't be shopping unless I really torture him.

They have asked in jest that he buys their present from there (I say in jest because they are so un presumptuous, I believe they really don't expect him to do so). But I equally know that it will make their Christmas to have a Harrods bag. That is what they really want. Not the present but the bag.

They collect and treasure bags from such stores - the little brown bag from maceys etc.

So to my question - I have looked online and the harrods green bag is £18 for the small one .

In store (or preferably online in a department I haven't so far looked in) is there anything cheaper? The present I have already bought them is a bottle of expensive perfume each, so I only need a small bag. I presume if we were shopping instore that we would get some sort of plastic/paper bag - but what I want is the reusable bag.

I can and will send him instore if there is something vastly cheaper - I'm at a bit of a loss looking online as I can't really tell what I'm looking at!

Fears I am greatly over thinking this.

Oreo I have no idea (country bumpkin too) but wanted to say how lovely and thoughtful that is [tchsmile].

TheOnlyOneIKnow Try ebay for cellophane - lots of suppliers, lots who don't charge postage (or who charge a very cheap price for the cellophane and so it all comes to the same at the end) and lots of different patterns/lengths to choose from...

My cat scarfs have arrived. I'm pleased, they are nice, quite light weight but I like the feel. My finger lights arrived one was switched on when they arrived, so at least one is working!
The boys are playing with their bargain imaginext advent calendar's, don't know if the calendar's will make it properly to Christmas day, (aged 2 and 4) but they are loving them.

The Garden Centre Group is doing 20% off today in store.

I have once again been cast as mean mummy cos I had to call a halt to hide and seek as dh had them hiding next to presents etc. Will need to investigate later how much has been compromised. tchshock

3bunnies I was the same last night when they had fiends over. They were playing beautifully upstairs when it dawned upon me they were playing in the present spare room! Luckily they were drunk on sugar so probably didn't notice.

Thanks Cadence, all my staff are lovely, but these two really have been a God send, they really look after me and my DB! He is single and they fuss around him and boss him about like little wives!

I love them to bits, so I will get them whatever they want if it can repay them a tiny bit.

NB63 an extra 10% off Debenhmas online.

20% off everything at ASOS with 20EXTRA, ends 8am tomorrow.

The cats are being worse than DD at trying to get into their advent calendars [tchgrin]

ASDA has Bayliss & Harding boxed gift sets for £10.

The man in the next checkout to me was screaming MOVE & ramming his dd (8yrs) out of the way with the trolley. [shocked] Poor girl looked terrified.

Theimpossiblegirl - am liking "fiends"!

Dh has picked up 2ds and Pokemon X for £99 in Sainsburys this morning. Would have been a bargain only I was only going to buy the game as she already has every ds console released so far

Happy December everyone [tchsmile]

Advent Calender fail here as usual. DH didn't get them out of the cellar last night and I won't set foot in there as it is too cobwebby and dead spidery
Didn't get anything for DD's pockets so not sure about giving DS1 the lego one. Have got chocolates so might give them those.

Am trying to get some bits wrapped before DS2&3 wake up but DS1 keeps coming upstairs for a nose!

Lol. That was a typo, honestly. But fitting.
[tchblush]

Oreo - some cheaper/discounted Harrods 'bag for life' type bags here if you sort by price www.harrods.com/gifts/shopper-bags?sort=-1&viewall=no&psc=18&psi=0

Or they do tins of tea bags for about £9 (tin would be a nice keepsake?)

Thanks so much for the tip about the 2DS bundle in sainsburys. Both my boys want to spend their hannukah m
