Guest Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 You beat me to it Couperwife! I used to work for Tesco, and can confirm that all the poor warehouse staff throughout Britain will currently be trying to find places in the back warehouse to stash all the Christmas lines, which start to be distributed to stores the first day in September. Mincemeat pie anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'm going to do some Christmas Shopping in France in October! I'm also going to sort one of my mums very soon as she desperately wants a dorothy shoes (wizard of Oz) brooch! I have had a few prezzies to myself over the weekend....some nice craft stuff, but they are for now, not Christmas! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I have been buying bits for a few weeks now. We are off to Germany next week to stay at my Parents house and i'm sure we will get stuff for Christmas! Stopping off at Cite Europe on the drive home to stock up for December! Will make my Christmas puddings this week as OH is away with work and I get so much more done when he isn't here! Ooooh and a shopping trip to Guildford soon as I love the shops there!

Popcorn Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I love love love Boden! I had a random 'mini boden' catalogue through the post the other day. I flicked through it and am hooked. I put it to one side to have a better look later, when I caught Darren cutting out the pictures of the animals on the boys t-shirts to put in Stefan's 'what animal am I?' book. I went mad! Trouble is, we're skint......please do not show me the adult clothing catalogue...... Mel - I had some fresh off the stem brussels on Saturday....they were lovely!

Basset Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I have a complete and utter Boden addiction and can't resist buying something(s) gorgeous everytime one of their (numerous) catalogues hits the doormat, or they email. The kids clothes are so lovely that it just makes me smile when I see mine wearing the cute clothing. Pleased to know I'm not the only one with a Boden habit!!!!

theherd123 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 In an effort to get organised for Christmas we decided to write out the list of potential presents yesterday - it seems to go on forever! The thought of the size of our 2 person houseold increasing to 9 for 5 days over the festive season is quite scary! Is anyone else having their rellys over for Christmas and if so how do you plan on coping? I think i will self medicate with alcohol!

Cinnamon Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 We rashly invited my family (Dad, Little Bro & wife, Sister) over for Christmas in a moment of weakness earlier this year. I am regretting it already, & have already started a list of food & drink we will need, which seems to go on forever As well as not having enough place setting, or chairs, or glasses..........
