    I am crazy to get all baking-related items. Yes, I am going to bake pastries, cakes and pizzas this Christmas.

    Lol this is what I mean, ever since I seen this, it’s all I think of when I’m out and see people with the mask down below their nose (willies)!!!

    I got nice ones in homestore and more, the Pvc ones with little robins and the other had silver Christmas trees.

    They also do linen tablecloths with matching runners and napkins. Usually they'll be half price.

    If you want to go more expensive arnotts or kilkenny store will likely have the more linen style.

    I must look myself as something happened my lil Robin, so had planned to replace it.

    I need to get a new dinner set myself. Not necessarily christmas themed but a nice set that I can keep up. Any ideas?

    I've just looked, the range is shockingly bad.

    There's usually a much better selection. They might get more stock in for December. The last couple of years they definitely have had it half price , I remember as couldn't make up my mind so bought both justifying it by saying it came to the normal price :D

    They definitely had pvc tablecloths with matching wooden/cork placemats and coasters and matching paper napkins .

    Mark's and Spencer's have nice sets, the Hampton range caught my eye.

    Arnotts have denby on offer.

    That's as far down the rabbit hole I went :)

    I’ve been looking for Christmas tablecloths myself, but I haven’t found anything that I liked.

    There’s a few nice ones on Guineys, but sold out of the size I need. :mad:

    Has anyone seen any nice Christmas bed linen? :)

    I went hook, line and sinker for the 11/11 sales on Ali Express today, got all sorts of external lights and projectors for the gaff for about a tenth of what they cost in Homestore here!

    They'll probably be gone with the first gust of wind, mind!

    It’ll be tight with Ali at this stage, I’ve noticed a few sellers shipping is actually coming from Europe now. An post very slow to deliver anything from China since lockdown I’ve noticed too.

    I got a fab projector at Halloween in lidl for outside and it came with Christmas discs, worth keeping an eye for when they are eventually able to release their Christmas stock.

    You could use the App in your Tablet, and, if you are unable to take a screenshot, you can take a photo of the screen with your phone and send it to her.
    Let us know her reaction !

    The wifes v.expensive perfume just arrived via courier this morning... so other than a couple of small bits and some bottles of plonk for some relatives I think we're more or less done now. Such a relief. Means if/when the shops open and we get to have a browse (if that will be even possible) we're under no pressure to get gifts... love it when we get to that stage!

    I'd never think of looking at the Zara Home website, some of the stuff is beautiful, if quite expensive.

    Eldest lads Xbox arrived. Whoop feel like I'm making a dent in the shopping.
    Was in choice today and they have loads of the oilcloth tablecloth if that's the right words 😅. They cut them to size homestore and more have fab bed linen in. You can buy them in-store.

    I usually get a cream and gold oil cloth cut from Homebase the ladies do be very nice, I keep that on for the run up to Christmas then for the big day I may change I have ones from Guineys and Homestore and More with matching runner

    Did a big order for OH Sunday from the team he supports and no notice of dispatch yet, I am not panicking as I dealt with them before when I got no confirmation and they were very professional and the goods arrived but nearly 5 working days after I thought I would have heard something

    Love them! I had to look twice at the size of them. When I first saw them looked like they were full size standing on the ground waiting for baggage at the airport... oh god I need sleep.. or glasses

    I bought a box of Celebrations today (not the big tub). It was €3.50 in Tesco, felt like a deal. The plan was to bring them into work and share them around, put everyone in a bit of a lighter mood for Friday.

    But the more I thought about it, I realised I shouldn't encourage everyone to put their hands into the same tub. I'm gonna take one for the team and eat the box myself, for safety reasons :o
