Ikea has a Christmas section. You know what happens when I find out Ikea has a Christmas section. Yup It just made the list ... the to visit list before Christmas 2019 or 2018 if I get a chance lol.

I hope wrestling fans get the reference above.

^^^ You'd think with a name like Carol she would have a bit more festive cheer!

This day next week and we are in the 60’s in the countdown! I really need Halloween to get out of the way as I need to go shopping for new Christmas lights for the window and I’m really tempted to get Christmas projector lights

CheerLouth · 10-10-2018 11:26am

My mother in law got a projector light last year! I was so jealous! :P She's suddenly started upping her game since we moved in next door. She never had outside lights before, then the first year, she got a light up reindeer & then last year, after we had lights all around the gutters, she whipped out this projector! :pac:

I've got to go big this year :P

Lol don't be giving me ideas! You can see our house from the motorway & I've always wanted to put a Santy, sleigh and reindeer on the roof so that it could be seen from the road

But Mr. CL refuses on H&S grounds

Spoil sport :P

They've started to put up the cables/wires across Henry&Mary streets for the lights ðŸ™‚

Loughc · 10-10-2018 8:27pm

How dark did it get this evening? And the clocks haven’t gone back yet either!

Posy · 10-10-2018 8:28pm

I was just commenting that it was really bright this evening!

Mysterious cables have also appeared across Grafton Street. Hmmm...

I went out to Johnstown Garden center earlier, to see if they had any bbq stuff on clearance. No joy. So went down to the Christmas section. I used to go down, and press loads of teddies that sang and danced. They're on to me this year though, I couldn't find any. Dammit.

Good grief!!! Those are the poster children of the saying "Just because you can do it, it doesn't mean you should".

Not sure if anyone has posted about the Next window, but it's full-on Christmas. It looks better in person. Looks great in Dundrum.

Some amount of advent calendars in Tesco in Naas earlier. Chocolate, sweets, and what not. And I swore I wasn't going to do them this year...
