    I couldn't stay for the lights but it was lovely there. The market stalls were setting up, they looked so nice :) Massive crowd!

    Does anyone know when the Late Late toy show is on this year? Wikipedia says it's tomorrow week but I would have thought this is very early?

    Can't believe they didn't open the stalls, that's crazy. I say alot of people went so they could have a look at the market after it.

    I just saw on Twitter that they delayed opening because of the bad weather. They're open now.

    I made one a few years ago, I think the photo is on here somewhere...

    The most important thing is, even before you even start the wreath, take the time to glue each bauble cap on properly. It's time consuming but you'll be glad of it! Otherwise when you're trying to fit so many baubles on, to make it look nice and full, the baubles pop off their pins with the pressure.

    Does anyone know where I could buy a Back To The Future Lego set? Someone on this forum mentioned a few days ago that they had bought one but I can't find the original post. It's way dearer on Amazon and the Lego website charge nearly €12 for delivery :eek:

    Twus me! It was sold out over here (when I was purchasing anyway) and I bought it on Amazon and got it delivered to someone I know in the UK. My total including delivery was £41 sterling. Probably get it cheaper but I didn't want to miss it!

    When you click into your photo on photobucket, to the right there are a number of link. One of these will say IMG, click on this and it will copy, then past the copied link in here and it will show the photo

    You're right it does but then anyone can click on it and enter my photo bucket account

    Alicat the wreath is lovely , ive been tempted to make one,but haven't got around to it. I went to see nativity , dude wheres my donkey today,just to get in the mood & up to grafton street to see the lights. I wanted to go to the Christmas market but there was a massive queue to get in, at first I thought maybe it was a queue for Santa!madness decided against going in, the queue was moving quite fast but id imagine was very packed.
