It sums up this forum how quickly we got back on our feet compared to some of the others. Not many ( 1 or 2 tops) regulars missing now.

I do hope otnomart finds their way back for the adverts though, and the funnies... you'd miss his/her contributions.

Just bought Mr. CL the Lego Santa set...I've never spent so much on lego before but I know he'll love it and the whole family will knock great craic out of it 🤞

While it is expensive, it always goes down well.

Last few Christmas' have involved Granddad doing Lego with at least one or more of the grand kids. It got to the stage last year were we had to get a separate 'Lego table' set up in the front room!

horse7 · 28-09-2021 08:51AM

Could we have some ideas on the costs of these items?

Aw that's so lovely! Creating lovely memories! I love family activities at Christmas, I always get a massive Christmas jigsaw to do too and everyone chips in at it!

The Lego set was 85 euro I think, direct from the Lego website.

Yep, I remember standing at the edge of the kitchen, glass of wine in hand, Christmas music on, still stuffed from Christmas lunch, watching my Dad and son doing Lego at the table and I honestly can't remember a time that I felt happier.

Posy · 28-09-2021 06:24PM

Aaaaaaw, TRS. 😍

SarahLil · 29-09-2021 10:57AM

@TRS30 thats a beautiful memory

SarahLil · 29-09-2021 11:03AM

Picked up a gift the weekend they love dark chocolate so might add some of the ferrero rocher chocolate you guys mentioned in the other thread then that’s one totally ticked off the list

with the home improvements for us I will need new tablecloth/runner for the big day

TRS30 · 29-09-2021 02:59PM

Bought a new fridge. Not a Christmas purchase per se however will be full of Christmas food 😂

Pistachio19 · 29-09-2021 03:45PM

Have 2 Nintendo switch pokemon games and new joy-cons to collect tomorrow for youngest. One game is for his birthday next month. Good to get a start on xmas shopping. He's going to ask for a bike for Christmas too, so need to get that sorted soon.

leahyl · 29-09-2021 04:17PM

These are so cute - was thinking of getting them for my little niece, first Christmas this year! https://www.dunnesstores.com/p/winnie-bib---pack-of-/6462140

Same here.

I think it was the cheapest at €3.

Just was the tag on the second last one, €3 is very good value. How much was shipping?

freshpopcorn · 30-09-2021 09:21AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117957632#Comment_117957632

€5.

I mainly wanted the last one ams sort of ordered the others to justify the it.

TRS30 · 30-09-2021 02:05PM

First present for ELF1 sorted

Buy LEGO Friends Magical Ferris Wheel and Slide Playset 41689 at Argos.ie

Posy · 30-09-2021 03:13PM

Oh, that's good value! And looks fun too. 😁

DvB · 30-09-2021 04:30PM

Building lego kits over the Christmas holidays with the kids is something I'll miss I have to admit. The young lad, after getting a load of Star Wars lego over the years has decided he's done with it now and said he didn't want any more of it. Shame as it was something I enjoyed doing with him.
