    What tea subscription? I was looking for one for my sister in law and couldn’t find one for Ireland.

    Also I see the Tesco Christmas slots were released in the Uk. Have they been released here yet or will they? I won’t be able to go shopping so hoping to nab a slot.


    I ordered some Irish Teas off this site haven’t arrived yet so can’t report quality but they do some lovely gift sets

    Wow Mystery Egg I cant believe that about the shopping Christmas Eve Eve

    The OH has been doing the grocery shop since March, I think I might do a big shop online wth the new Dunnes App thingy just for all the goodies non perishables/stocking fillers/toy show supplies and chocolate tokens to go with gifts its between our house and my mams so I really need to be the one to do it I think its the only way around it,

    I will miss the hype of it, but I would usually have started by now

    I really like it. God the toy show could be pure misery this year or an emotional wreck show.

    Where did ye buy wrapping paper?? I could do with getting some. Also I wrapped last year for Santa. My first time. I don't know if it brought much more excitement to them?? I really did it for the 15 year old to make him work extra for his presents.

    Dunnes is doing an absolute bomb since lockdowns began with deliveries and click and collect. Also they've a new reserve in store system. Hats off to them as an Irish company.

    I bought wrapping paper, gift boxes and Christmas gift bags in Dunnes this afternoon.

    It was the only place where I could actually buy them in person; even Dealz have all their Christmas merchandise sealed off like a crime scene!

    Thanks all - it’ll look better when it’s finished in a couple of days but the rain came down before we could tidy up. Also, waiting for some more of the “raining” lights on the tree. We have every intention of going OTT this year, people need cheering up :D

    They are lovely, the photo doesn’t do them justice to be honest. I ordered 1 set to see if I liked them but immediately ordered 2 more sets which are due to arrive Wednesday. They link into each other which is handy.

    Waiting on my WWE Xmas jumper. Pre ordered it in October but they were low on stock when it launched but there getting a few more starting next week

    Sick of the government and at this stage they need to bloody announce what is happening come the 1st Dec. All these leaks about this and that is quiet irritating
