Toasties - the countdown to Christmas

[Countmeout]

Just getting a thread ready.

Thanks @Countmeout.

@Countmeout - thank goodness for that - the old thread was so so slow! thank you!

Taking a seat - thanks!

Thanks for the new thread @Countmeout

Thank you @Countmeout !

Thanks for the shiny new Christmas thread @Countmeout 🎄
I noticed I made a few sale purchases in late November last year...I'd forgotten about that - must have been a mini sale as the proper winter sales starts soon as the last Christmas posting date has passed ( I think)

Poor offerings on the wish list this week (I know, gift horse and all that!!!)

Poor obvs 🤦‍♀️

Ooh is it that time again? Thanks!

🤦‍♀️ ignore me I had a crumb on the screen and thought I’d spelled poor wrong .

Thanks @Countmeout - off to enter the competition.

Thanks for the new thread
Went into a Toast shop today and damn I like quite a few things 🤦‍♂️
It was very busy and bustling
The staff were bragging LOUDLÝ as to what the last customer had spent .
Ugh

Things I liked
The knitwear -all of it !
Velvet trousers
Herringbone trousers
The cord-all of it
The baubles
The socks
The mittens, armwarmers etc

The black denim wrap skirt -completely passed me by online but this is lovely.

Any advice regarding size would be helpful, am a 10/12 in Toast, reviews are contrary -size up, size down
Did not stay long, the bragging got on my nerves.

How odd of them @Poplinskirt - not very nice to overhear 🙀

Thanks for the new thread @Countmeout . Very busy at work with budgets currently but keeping an eye on the toast thread and finding time to enter the Christmas wish list.

Dropping in to mark my place! Thanks for the new thread ♥️

Away to look at the new wish list 🙏🏽

Thanks @Countmeout and I'm off to look at the week 2 wish list too

This particular shop has form for this type of thing
Tbf one of the staff looked mortified

I know this is a purely academic question, (I am absolutely not going to be winning), but did you all read the cutlery set as one x four sets, (as in for a family of four)?

I first read it as you’d be potentially the proud owner of your own personal posh cutlery set. (TBH, exactly the sort of thing I would do🙀). But 1x4 lots of knives, etc. makes rather more sense 😹😹😹

4 x the pictured place setting :)

I sadly suspected it was just me @Stravaig 😹

In my defence, I did think it was a bit weird!

I have been eyeing up that jug for a while - if there had been a discount I would have bought it at the last Kindred event I went to. I have no use for it, nor anywhere to display it, but it is calling to me. I have visited it a few times irl but restrained myself.

Liking those candlesticks too - no use for those either, but could probably justify squeezing them in somewhere!

I've been doing similar figurings with the Cove stoneware! It's just me these days, so I have very little need for 4 x dinner plates, but 1 of each piece would be lovely (and comes to the same value). I wonder if ...

I’ve had my eye on those too @Stravaig - they are very smooth to the touch and rather nice.

Thanks for the thread @Countmeout
I was looking at my sale buys last Winter and see it was all Summer stuff, have to wait until March for the yummy knitwear !

I bought the Annie cords in barley and they don’t disappoint . The colour is gorgeous and they’re really cosy .

I read it as 1 set @IlovePond . I do like a personal cutlery set though so maybe it was wishful thinking.

I think some shops make you feel uncomfortable @Poplinskirt .

And talking of awkward did anyone think the live last week was slightly at best I relaxed if not quite uncomfortable.
I don’t think they’re fully live atm as they show that twirl which I don’t think can be actually live live.
I liked the yellow tank outfit but that was about it.

I've gone for the velvet dress, paper chain kit, crackers, chair cushions, and dinner plates (in hopes of hypothetical substitution request :D
