Ok so this may not be a big deal to ya know normal sane people but I got a set of 3 remote control candles from pennys and they are .. life altering. I'm honestly sitting here all day turning them on and off from the comfort of my couch! No more bending down and sore knees people ! :pac:

Between these and the wireless sockets I feel so on top of technology right now..so modern hahah :pac:

Merry Christmas! Sh*tter's full!

I'm quite enamoured by this rose gold antler headband I got in Claire's Accessories. It's subtle enough to wear to lots of occasions over the next two months

Clark: Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey sh*t he is! Hallelujah! Holy sh*t! Where's the Tylenol?

These two arrived today. The staff at our school have taken to wearing Christmas jumpers towards the holidays but I find the jumpers too warm.
Gawd help any Junior Infant who puts a sticky paw on them!

The quality is reasonably good for the price.

Haha, Alicat, imagine saying that all in one breath.

I was looking at those - I love my Christmas jumpers, but sometimes find their too warm - especially for nights out. What kind of material are they - are they like t-shirt weight? i.e. lighter than a jumper?

Just finished my nephews pressies. Two trading card folders, and a set of shiny pokemon cards.
One or two more things to get and thats it

About t-shirt weight, I think and they also cover hips tum and bum!

The Book People have some nice bits at present. The David Walliams cd collection is great value.

Hi milly can I ask where you got the card folder? That sounds super handy as I've bought some cards for my little guy too

Hi chuckles definitly lighter than a jumper. More lycra material , think body con dress material although may be a smidge thicker. I got one last year for the toy show and loved it very comfie to wear !

Alicat

Got this little set in TKMaxx for €8.99, for my Gran. Reminds me of her old decorations which are nearly all broken and gone at this stage.

Not a bother I got them from Chaos Cards here https://www.chaoscards.co.uk/

I have not got the folders yet but this chap whos well into his gaming recommended them and i saw some stuff he had..The have good deals in the cards too i got some pile of shiny cards and one rare for 11euro

Irish_rat

Got this little fella in Dunnes today while I was doing my weekly shop. First Christmas decor in the new house. Much more to come

Toto Wolfcastle

Today's haul. Got that singing reindeer from Penneys, some Christmas tea towels, Toy Show jammies, ornament hooks and a Christmas food magazine. It was lovely seeing so many other people buying Christmas stuff.

Mystery Egg

I did all my Christmas shopping online today. All of it. Now we just have our boozy Wrapping Day to look forward to.

Crazyteacher

I was very bold today , new Christmas rug for the sitting room, two sets of lights, more baubles, Christmas pj's, and Christmas cup cake cases.

Malari

Not decorations so don't know if this counts but I got a set of two forks for lifting roasts and hams and whatnot, in preparation for the Big Day Dinner. You have no idea how hard it is to get a spiced beef out of a huge pot of water with a standard fork and carving knife!

Great thanks milly! Mini glitz already has stashes of some star wars cards and Santa has been a little too generous with pokemon cards now too with no thought to storage or organisation of said cards! Will Def look at that thank you
