A scuttle bug? A trike?

James' Crimbo PJ's arrives yesterday so he now has all his clothes (PJ's for Crimbo eve and Crimbo day) and jumper for Crimbo eve and Crimbo day and his dress up outfit for our post cards.

I also bought some wrapping paper in Paperchase yesterday. It was so expensive but I love it

That's beautiful!

He has a trike!
My sis is getting him a trampoline, and his gran and papa are getting him a tractor and trailer.
I think I need to go and look in a toy shop and see what I think he would like. I'm not going overboard like last year.xx

 

[Emily0505]

I'm getting Cam a trampoline!

I'm not going nuts with prezzies either as he's so little he has no idea what its all about yet anyway.

So far he's got a set of bells, a toy remote and a wooden hammering block toy.

Going to get the trampoline and a couple of outfits and that will probably be it.

Not long to gooo!!

Exciting!!!!!!

Jackson got these 2 xmas bibs last year but ended up being late. So we are using them this year even tho he never uses bibs - must see if theres a nice feeding bib for xmas day for him.

I bought a mama and Papa's Christmas pudding outfit for Hannah from eBay :-D

 

[CARNAT22]

I need a slim tree this year (we normally go real but we're faking it for the foreseeable)

I have found this http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2698719.htm

It's OK.

I have also seen this which I love http://www.marksandspencer.com/Mark...031&pf_rd_p=321381387&pf_rd_s=related-items-3

I just don't know if I can justify it????

What do we reckon?

xxxx

 

[russellmuscle]

I think they both look the same. I'd def go with the argos one. I just don't see how the m&s one is £40 quid better?

Your choice tho it'll be in your house xxxxx

 

[CARNAT22]

Yep we're going for the Argos one, next year we'll be in a new place so this only has to tide us over.

Eeeekkkk, is it too early to get my tree? (I wont put it up lol)

xxxxxx

 

[Minchin]

No not too early! Get it! I'm so excited but been too busy to post on here but love reading it! My ds1 is 3 now so we have a long list for Santa! Better make sure Santa gets it right lol!!

Where is Santa grotto room on here this year, anyone know?

 

[russellmuscle]

Nat I say if ur in the position to get it, do it. May aswell.

I'm still getting fibre optic, we had our cats at mils last year and they wrecked her tree so.. Thought best not. And since jackson doesn't know or like the word no and is very mobile. We will get one with lights and put it on a coffee table lol.

I've bought and wrapped 90% of my pressies now, written out all my Christmas cards and have completely my food shopping online to be delivered on Monday 23rd December.

Got to buy a new tree and get a new decoration for it (a tradition) - there is a massive place called The Tree Barn, Christmas Common about a 15 minute drive from where I live and it's quite magical! Only opens in Nov and Dec and it's like walking into Santa's grotto! (Well, how you would imagine it looks like!) They sell every single type of Christmas decoration / memorabilia that you can think of and it's one of mine and hubby's most favourite things to do around Christmas time.

I think I'm doing pretty well this year...which leaves plenty of nights free to sit down with a large baileys, watching Christmas films xx

Well, we've not quite unpacked everything in our new house yet, but I did make sure to find all my Christmas cards and presents, so they're all out on our bed over there in the midst of complete chaos, but who cares, Christmas is the most important thing I've updated my Christmas spreadsheet (don't laugh at me, it's very sensible ) with the presents I've already got people, so I have a better idea of what's left to get - thankfully not as much as I'd thought! I've wrapped my presents for my friend in the USA, and I've got my presents ready for my friend in France, so hopefully going to get them posted this week! Then going to focus on the house again for a bit as we absolutely have to have moved in by the end of November so that I can decorate it for Christmas on 1 December

I've also ordered A's letter from Father Christmas today - we get the NSPCC ones (from here). We got him one last year and it was really nice so I thought I'd do it again this year

That's about 30 minutes from us! So glad you reminded me of it... going to make a trip up there soon!

It's a lovely place isn't it! Always feels so magical

Would love to visit it when it's snowing, but I think the drive in there could be very interesting lol xx
