HairsprayBabe my local Range was putting the Christmas items out today, it looks like its going to be half of the top floor again! Cannot wait till I can get back in on Friday.

I did buy a few new halloween bits today, my DD is 5 so really interested in it this year. And as I put away the Halloween decorations.... I get the Christmas ones out. just so I can check if there is anything I need. Lights, it's always bloody lights

[Mummyshortlegz]

I love going to the range and looking at the bits and bobs. They have one of the best Christmas sections outside the garden centres.

Might have a nosey at The Range but Ooooh HomeSense had some gorgeous Hallowe'en things in........................

[Ratbagcatbag]

Were in full Halloween mode here, but thanks to bargain thread successfully managing to get some serious presents sorted too.

I keep dropping off this one now with all the other Xmas threads!!

[HungryHorace]

Isn't it 104?!?!

[SideOrderofChip]

Nope 105

[HungryHorace]

Ah. Then we had it wrong yesterday!

[HungryHorace]

And for the entire week before...we clearly lost a day somewhere!

[HungryHorace]

This disagrees!

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

I thought I was going bonkers then

Nope, I have the monopoly on Bonkerism

Hey, it means we're a day nearer than I thought. And a day nearer to the Princessing 100 Days on S&B .

[ConstantlyCooking]

The princessing thread sounds interesting 70.
I am trying to become high maintenance having hit 50 so might drop in

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

Yes, join us on S&B Constantly us half centurians must stick together.

I can get Saga Insurance and Life Cover.

[RedLarvaYellowLarva]

[mimsnet]

When you're a half centurian, do you get one of those spectacular helmets?!

[HairsprayBabe]

My whole house now stinks of pickled onion monster munch now, thanks a lot Delia!

Still only have one more voddy to set up for infusion, and hopefully we get an early first frost so I can make some hedgerow Gin. If we haven't had one by mid october ill just pick and freeze at home.

Dose anyone join the poncing thread?

[FireflyGirl]

I was going to resist until 100 days, but ta-dah here I am.

legz I've booked onto a wreath workshop run by the local council - it was only £3 each. Might be worth looking into? Found it in a brochure called 'Countryside Events and Walking for Health', in conjunction with the NHS.

I've been on MN a while, and not come across the Princessing thread, but I don't think I've ever ventured into S&B. I'm starting to get wrinkles now, though, so maybe I should...

[SideOrderofChip]

firefly You're only 3 days early thats not too bad!!

[Onehellofaride]

I can't wait for the princessing thread now so I will make sure I eat all the chocolates in the next few days

[Mummyshortlegz]

firefly I hadn't thought of the council, I'll have a look and see if the parks trust is running anything.

I think I ponced last year but I'm not that poncey

[Blueisthemagicnumber]

Cox and Cox have their Christmas range online. I know it's ££, but I love browsing.

[mimsnet]

Blue Their wrapping paper is stunning!

[TheWoollybacksWife]

I bought this today and I'm itching to start it. A double whammy of Christmas and mystery stories. I just need to finish my knitting...
