I nearly took similar in Sainsbury!!

My local Tesco only had a stack of tubs of chocolates and a shelf of Bayliss and Hardings gift sets. I WANT CARDS - WITH GLITTER.

Actually I buy my cards from cardsforcharity.co.uk but it's the principle of the matter.

John Lewis was gearing up for Christmas today. I'm going to have to take the kids back in a week or so to choose their decorations for the year. And I'll let them buy tinsel for their tree; it's not coming near mine!

I've not had Matchmakers in a loooooong time!

My DH has a thing for Festive box biscuits. ( the little xmas shaped biscuits half dipped in chocolate)

The past few years its become a habit to pop one in the trolley whilst doing the weekly shop in the run up to xmas. I hope they don't stock them too soon or ill be the piling on the weight before xmas!

FireflyGirl · 09/09/2017 22:41

I was in Wilkinsons yesterday and they have started getting Christmas gifts in too.

I'm going to try and lose weight before Christmas, I think, so any Christmas treats will be put in the garage where I can't be bothered to go. I managed it last year, on a thread on here, but since starting my new job I've lost momentum quite a bit...

Nearly double figures!!

NoWordForFluffy · 10/09/2017 10:49

That's speeding round so fast! And once it's double figures, time flies even bloody faster!

Just signing in, I've been away a while, (real life gets in the way ) need to read through and catch up on everything.

tootsieglitterballs · 10/09/2017 10:58

I had my Christmas cardi on this morning 😁🤶🏻

Hi y'all

Am enjoying the delights of the Welsh weather on our summer holiday - DD has croup, DH and I have stinking colds and I have conjunctivitis.

When we get home the heating is going on!

Hope you're all well x

NoWordForFluffy · 10/09/2017 14:56

Hi Mrs D, we've missed you!

DD used to get croup on an annual basis, so I feel your pain on that front. Scary, isn't it?

Sounds like you and DH have a similar bug to the one which DS and I are sharing. It goes on forever, if it is, by the way. I'm heading into week 2 and DS is almost into the 3rd week!

I'm holding off on the heating front for now as the house is - just - maintaining a comfortable temp. It's not going to be off for long though, if this wet weather carries on!

MrsDilligaf · 10/09/2017 15:32

Aww...missed you too! RL has rather got in the way lately (as it often does!) She's never had croup before, so it was quite scary!

angelabbie · 10/09/2017 15:57

hi am ready to start buying for a six year old boy so any ideas gratefully received.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/09/2017 15:58

Step this way @angelabbie

SideOrderofSprouts · 10/09/2017 16:38

MRSDILLIGAF I've missed you!!!

Anyone seen any sign of the m.&s catalogue yet??

FridgeCut · 10/09/2017 16:46

Poor Martha! Hope she gets well soon, also WE HAVE MISSED YOU! :)

Quirkydamsel · 10/09/2017 17:27

Quirkydamsel · 10/09/2017 17:29

I hope little Martha is better too and you and poor DH

TheWoollybacksWife · 10/09/2017 17:35

MrsD lovely to see you back and very sorry to read that your holiday is blighted by illness. Poor little M - I hated it when mine had croup.

Quirky I was wondering where Mrsmad had gone! You have a very distinctive posting style and I missed it - it's like having a lovely chatty conversation.

tootsieglitterballs · 10/09/2017 17:54

@MrsDilligaf our DS has had croup 4 times now (3 times this year) it's awful, completely feel your pain.
