Woo, everyone has been busy busy!
I bought a couple of things in the latest Clinique bonus time, and have €250 in my Christmas savings account, but things won't be full steam ahead until I'm done with my summer holidays at the end of July.

Ah, the new new elves list is only the expecting list. It will be a long list if we put all the parents onto it! :pac:

Debenhams were doing it at the end of May-start of June.
It was a good one, choose 6 products from 9 minis. I like the choice!

Arnotts/BT are definitely overdue one, I'm always keeping an eye out!

Staph

I need to get a few products and I love getting the extras at bonus time!

Officially got the main santa gift today. I have been putting in loads of overtime lately so I said I would cross it off the list. I got her the little tikes pink coupe and ordered a little personalised reg plate to go one back. I ordered her a minnie mouse track suit in the disney store last week on sale and also have a tent in for her. So she is pretty much done just one or two little bits to go with it i am thinking (a peppa pig remote control train? ) Eck so excited already...

Feeling very Christmassy. For the first time in two years I am quiet in work, due to me handing in my notice so I am in full Christmas planning mode.

AttentionBebe said she has a 4 week old baby, that's quick work if she's expecting again!

So will handing in your notice change your Christmas plans again?

Jude13

Six months until the big day!!

The handing in the notice is part of why I cannot go home for Christmas, it may not be great to join a new firm and then take two weeks off. There are other factors too though.

Was stuck watching the best of Late Late show at aunt's last Friday and it got me quite excited about Toy Show!! Assuming it is on 30th November this year, 22 weeks left!!

I was looking photos of Christmas last year this morning when most people were probably planning what to do during the good weather!

I just watched Crimecall and the next episode won't be on until the end of September. I'm just thinking of all the Christmas things that will be out in the shops when it returns!

Last total Christmas free month guys. Next month we'll only be a weeks away from the Brown Thomas Christmas shop opening!

Just gathering some energy to post I think most of me melted away the past week. #datheat

Jude13

Beginning to get a bit panicky that I need to start planning more stuff. I have no idea what, so I think a present list is a start.

Skyping home and the family are all out the back bbqing. Hope the weather stays for the summer. Home in 19 days.

I know how you feel Jude. I’m normally much more organised than I am this year and now it’s July :eek:, how did that happen? There will be serious list making this week.

Glitzgirl

Christmas movies start tomorrow ... can't wait ! Great news for someone who has been told to rest up and take it easy lol ... wish I'd kept a tin of sweets now to open for tomorrow !

We have a new pup in our house too one of the reasons I've been so busy. She is an assistance dog in training and I spent the day googling Halloween and Christmas outfits for her for the family pics with the boys ! I'll see if I can attach a pic of her. She is only 7 months old and is massive already

I was in a chipper last night and they were playing Live Aid Do they know it's Christmas?

I just checked the calendar and Christmas Eve is on a Monday this year. That's so brilliant. I'd rather it be at the start of the week so we can all enjoy the weekend leading up to it before rather than it being at the end of the week like it's been the past few years.

Where in the world are ye as it’s summer here and it’s a heatwave.

We're in the Christmas forum.

You can head off and chat about the heatwave somewhere less festive.

My workplace opens Christmas eve.
This means I finish on Friday, have the weekend off, then have to come in on the Monday if I can't get it as an annual leave day.

Think Mr glitz is going to get stuck with a Christmas duty this year. I'm just hoping it's st Stephens day not Christmas day!
