    Has anyone seen a Galaxy chocolate advent calendar and if so where....for use in November lol.

    Ordered one for £1.99 on Amazon (I have Prime so "free" delivery). It got lost, they refunded me the £1.99 plus gave me £5 credit so I got the Haribo one (£5) for free instead. Of course I should have reordered the Galaxy one too, doh!

    Tesco have swapped their Halloween section for Christmas online. They have a page of Tesco exclusives ncluding....Orange Chocolate Toblerone!

    In other news I got the chocolate orange cookies from Dominos yesterday...and binned them. Really synthetic taste off them.

    My hubby was about to buy the orange chocolate toblerone last night but it's 'Gingery Candied Orange Peel'...sounds awful. I hate ginger so it put me off :(

    Also in Tesco. I ordered 2 sets of 3 for my niblings (2 different types, both Cadbury) and got 5 of one and 1 of the other. Only noticed when I was putting them away with the Christmas chocs. It's not the end of the world but when I was picking my order up I was too busy focusing on expiry dates for the fresh stuff to even look at the pictures on the boxes.

    My shopping came to €92 in Dunnes this week. So naturally I got 2 tubs of sweets to bring me up to the sweet €100 mark.

    In tesco this morning I also got the 3 selection boxes for €5 and 2 tubs for €8, plus 6 bottles of wine for €40. Also a bag of onions.
    My mam had given me her tesco card and €10 off €50 vouchers that she got in the post too so great value shopping was done. I love getting all this stuff in for Christmas.
