Blue Those are fab! I am looking at the peacock ones on that site with longing...I may yet break and demand DH gives me the parcel motel account details!
Horace that is disappointing - maybe if you email back and ask if they will be having an event in Glasgow as that is where you will be doing your big purchasing for the next few months? Between Christmas presents, study books and something to keep you from boredom on your looong winter nights....!!
Chips I am impressed with ChipstheElder's repertoire! The Eldest will just have to get used to it, get the Elder to teach BabyChips 
Mummy that's great, and a lovely way to use it!
Hairspray as long as you have good tape that won't peel off by Christmas, go for it! We are all here to get ahead, and then be able to enjoy the festivities
I haven't thought much about Christmas the past couple of weeks. Too much other stuff going on. Normally, I am starting on my project of "buy the Christmas wine" - I buy 2 nice bottles of white for turkey, a nice bottle of bubbles, and a half bottle of desert wine for with the pudding. It's just DH and I, and we don't necessarily drink it all on the day (in fact - we definitely don't drink it ALL on the day) but it gives us options to have bubbles or just open the white, open a second bottle of white or have the desert wine, or just finish after the first white and have a glass of port (from the cupboard) instead of another bottle. I bought the M&S port last year, just a small bottle, which was very tasty. And for Christmas I am happy to spend maybe €20 a bottle for those few, normally we're under €10 a bottle. But as we're travelling, I don't need that type, just some "party wine" for visitors to the cottage. I might try to organize that soon though, and see if I can get it stored in one of the houses down there (DM, DMIL or my DSis) to save having to buy it at the last minute or add more to the car boot/backseat/roofbox (I am contemplating using both cars - of course it's because we'll be there for 5 days and need to be able to be independent not leaving 1 person stuck miles from civilization!!).
I have a Christmas duvet set for DD's bed - I got it in Penney's(Primark) I think, or else Dunnes Stores, 2 years ago. I'd like a set for us - but we've a superking duvet so it's massive money. And like Hairspray, I don't want anything too cheap or twee or girly or childish for us.
Oh well, I'd better get back to the day job and start earning the money for this extravaganza!!
