Ah guys thanks a million for all the tunes - brilliant !!!!! It will be great to chat about all things Christmassy I always start buying decorations early in the year some day soon I will have to stop as I will need an extension just simply to house the amount of decorations I own. There is great value online on things as its all out of season I got some lovely wee bits today for half nothing cannot wait for Mr Postman to bring them next week. I am already planning in my head where I will put them.

Where online are you getting your decorations?

Emcm

I got them through dress my home.ie. Its a lovely website for all lovely bits for your house Christmassy and not. There is lovely wee tea light ornaments, wall hangings and Christmas table runners and the like. They don't have a mad big selection at the minute but I would say it will be gorgeous come November. I just couldn't help ordering a few bits !!!!!!!!!!!!

You can get it in the shops as well as on-line - I order mine through my local shop. The first issue I ever bought was the Christmas one in 1998.

Guess where I was a few wet Wednesdays ago?

Squeeee!
Where is that pub actually?

will.i.am

I was online earlier today and there were loads of pop up ads for school uniforms and it got me thinking about last year when all the tins of sweats began coming into Tesco when the kids went back to school at the end of August. I used got so excited thinking of this because I find once September comes it gets more Christmasey every day!

On top of the Hill of Skryne - about 8 or so miles from Dunshaughlin heading for Navan and then a couple of miles off the old N3..... it's like going back in time inside. Lovely roaring fire at the end of the bar and a bench along the wall. Not the most salubrious but on a quiet night the conversation is good.

Almost (and I'm only weakly protesting here!) embarrassed to say, I actually have a few of those thrown in with my Christmas decorations. Picked them up a few years ago, thought they were brilliant! He better change the 'tude fast, I can tell ye, or thats exactly what will be under the tree for him.

That Harrods bear is adorable Myself and my sisters went to London last November and the window display was just amazing it was a Disney princess theme just beautiful.

Got my wee parcel of decorations in the post today so excited !!!!! I love getting decorations early and planning where I will put them! Started to order bits from books clubs through work too great for stocking fillers for the kids it really eases the expense when you spread it out over a few months. I wonder will Argos do the 3 for 2 on toys this October I found that a great help last year as we have lots of nieces and nephews to buy for along with our own 4 so it's super to get every 3rd toy free
