Looks like a fierce face off in Woodies today.

Literally a Nightmare before Christmas!

Is Woodies fully stocked?

I would expect all the Halloween stuff to be replaced by further Christmas stuff in a weeks time so probably not.

I was actually looking for some tinsel (I've given up pretending I'm too classy for it) on Sunday and they didn't have any, always have had so presume there's more to come.

Saw tinsel (Silver, Gold & white for definite) in the Range out in Liffey Valley.

Baby and Crumble...I.m a divil for watching the BBF dates on food, to see that Christmas is getting nearer....
Then I get a slightly sick feel in my belly when I see a date like 02 or 03 Jan.......Thats life I soupose...
The buzz is def building.. I was in Waterford on Monday. Very little Christmas stuff there. I went to the
Range...Lovely decorations there, but they were playing this bizzare piped music, and I practically ran out of the
place. Tiny section in Pennys.
Was in Cork yesterday, I was.nt really in the city centre, so not a smell of Christmas to be seen.

Cant wait for the Christmas ads to start.

Will have to make a trip to Woodies

I need a new garland this year - want a nice full one. A lot of them seem to be very thin and wispy looking!

There is not too much to do to it but we only went sale agreed this morning so I don't think we will get in on time for Christmas but we will have loads of Christmas' to come to decorate it.

It will be strange this year not being able to decorate my own place!

Posy · 25-10-2018 2:32pm

Congrats, kitten! That's fantastic news.

CheerLouth · 25-10-2018 3:08pm

Congrats Kitten_K! That's amazing news!!

Wishing you much joy and happiness in the new abode!

I'm not planning on buying/building a house yet but when I do one of the thing I think I'd factor in is where will I put the Christmas tree!

Honestly, when we were looking at houses a few years back it was a legitimate question we asked ourselves on viewings.

washiskin · 26-10-2018 9:18am

My sister, brother and myself called into our now derelict first home yesterday. The debate raged about where we used to have the Christmas tree. :rolleyes:
I told them about the Christmas Santy brought a red and white panda for my sister, who was an infant at the time, and I ran up to the folks crying that the panda was too big for her to play with.

matchthis · 26-10-2018 11:27am
