Ok so we've about a month or so before we need to move, and my housemate is away on hols at the mo (just the two of us). I decided on a Big Clean today and of course found our stash of Xmas decorations, ah I wonder where they'll be hanging next? 0

A Christmas order arrived today!! :eek: Technically it was only a small thing (not Christmas-themed) but still, it was ordered as part of the Christmas gift and I got a little shiver
All my colleagues rolled their eyes at me and said, "FFS!"

Was in he@tons other day talking to a lady who was working and she was complaining that they are getting their christmas stock in mid -late sept because of how busy they were last year! Personally I can't wait they had adorable kids breakfast sets in a box last year and completely sold out by 1st week of December! So disappointed ! 0

I have several things that are being held until December for collection in various shops and when I initially inquired about the items some of the staff did look shocked ( one lady even did the whole "for CHRISTMAS !?" Line
) granted I was asking about stuff a few months ago but still! Was shocked at some of the reactions I got ! More and more people in my opinion are picking up and putting stuff aside earlier so dont know why the lady I dealt wit was so surprised! Maybe she had been away on hols or something previously 0 -

It's for those very reasons that the items in question went straight onto the shop floor! Particularly with kids' stuff, the parents are buying earlier and earlier.
100% agree! I don't agree with anyone spending what they don't have just because of pressure (easier said than done when you have kids I know ) so I say go for it! Start shopping the sooner the better if it helps
On a side note was talking to a friend the other day who admitted to us he still uses his credit card to pay for christmas and spends the following year to pay off that christmas' cost! A vicious cycle to be stuck in , so I think it's great people do realise the benefits of shopping early. Well stated alicat by the way!0 -

Delighted you got sorted Glitzgirl. Re children's dishes, I got cute festive Disney Princess & Cars boxed sets in W00dies for about €10 each. They had them in when they started their sale. The set has a bowl, plate, eggcup and mug. Its not crappy wishy-washy Disney like you sometimes find. Actually, I got Mr Mayo Gurl to carry back two dining sets from the US one year. The dirty mouth on him every time he sees them in their "special" cupboard. I may consider not letting him use them. :rolleyes:
I find in situations like that its best to make his use them he may enjoy not using them more I got a Disney cars set few years ago the one I was looking for in he@tons were christmas themed lovely set plate bowl egg cup and think a mug ! Hoping they come back in again 0 -
Well when December 1 arrives he'll be sick of looking at them. The small peeps use the Disney sets for their breakfast from then and all other meals we use the "proper" Christmas sets. I love the dinnerware, it was well worth is effort of hauling it all home. (I didn't even break a sweat )We had to get 2 sets as our table seats eight. I got fab handpainted snowman wineglasses(buckets!) on another trip. He doesn't give out about them when they're filled with wine, oddly enough 0

Sounds lovely! I have been losing sleep over dinnerware this year! Last year I got fab gold rimmed glassware just for Christmas Day / Stephens day. So have ordered a matching white porcelain gold rimmed dinnerware set. (Initially I wanted square but the charger plates are all round ). So I decided the other day I was going to tell Mr Glitzgirl that we need to get another set to use from November -Christmas day, something christmassy (for the kids of Course ) His response was "we can no longer fund your christmas habit ... You have problems " lol! 0 -
