    Lads, the countdown is on! :D

    Noticed the big tins of sweets in Dunnes, half price, on Friday.

    Was in the North yesterday and a good rake of food out already: mince pies, puds, sweets, selection boxes. Was sooooooooooooo tempted to bring mince pies :o

    Was looking in Penneys at the jumpers and noticed they had really cool Reindeer slippers and even better musical, light up Christmas ties.

    Needless to say, I bought one!! Can't wait to wear it!

    Bought this onesie from Next today for Christmas Eve. I like it because it looks old fashioned and its cotton, so it won't be too warm. Can't wait to wear it!

    Ask around friends and family, you would be surprised who might have some lying around from last year. I know we have a pack sitting on top of the cupboard from last year cos we forgot about them!

    I saw them in BT in Cork last week. Nice but a bit pricey. I would imagine you might get them in M&S or even Woodies as they now have their Christmas stock in.
