    That's so cute! I haven't been on that site before and some of the dresses are lovely. Have you ordered from them before? How is the quality? Does the delivery cost sort of undo the savings?

    No, I've never ordered from them - I didn't realise that they did delivery to Ireland. I saw one of the posters on the Parenting forum recommend them for the kids clothes so I thought I'd give them a go cos some of the stuff is cheap as chips! I will report back when it arrives!

    We had a staff Christmas event in a hotel on one of the Sunday's last December, we booked the hotel in May of last year. The event was such good fun we decided to do it again for this year, so we rang the hotel and they told us the only Sunday they had left was the first Sunday in December, take it or leave it.
    Its mad to think you have to book a place in January, maybe there are more Elves out there than I think! :)

    I thought it was going really quickly last week, but this week I'm like "how is it still January"

    Ditto. Me getting paid last week completely messed up the month in my head. It really does feel like its dragging its heels at this stage.

    Got my dress yesterday - it's lovely! Fit is good but the material is very light for a winter dress. I'll probably need to wear a top under it/cardigan over it and probably leggings instead of tights but for £7, you can't complain. :D The kids clothes seem to be much better quality.

    Now it's February things are on the up!

    The mornings are more noticeably brighter.
    The 6 nations start this weekend.
    So does Ireland's Got Talent.
    We are over one twelfth of the way through the year already.
    This is the last month without a Bank Holiday until July!

    And tomorrow is Friday! :)

    Good Vibes February anyone? haha.

    Happy February! We’re going to see Foil, Arms and Hog this weekend and when we booked it ages ago I remember choosing that particular date because it would be something to look forward to after January.

    Hey everyone - I’ve been following the forum and this thread in particular for the past 4-5 Years. I’ve never posted before but just wanted to say how much I love the Christmas atmosphere you all create.

    Throughout all the constant Christmas, the forum has inspired me to start and slowly grow my own little Christmassy blog over the last year or so and I’d like to thank you all for keeping it Christmas all year long - it’s amazing here.
