BT are certainly getting enough media coverage opening so early.

Id say their delighted! The amount of people who have said it to mt over the past few days, though thats probably cos Im a Christmas nut and they wondered was I going to be there at 9am yesterday. Still its great exposure for them, Im sure it'll increase business.. Whats the best Tesco have their sweets in this weekend? Id say theyre raging Dunnes got it before them

I was only thinking that myself! I'm delighted Tesco don't have the sweets yet, I do my weekly shopping there and it's hard enough not to buy ALL THE CHOCOLATES without throwing the tubs of sweets into the mix haha.

If it's tins of biscuits you're after, Dunnes have already put Victoria biscuit tins on the shelves, brand new, well in date. I think they're on special offer for €5, at least they were a couple of days ago when I saw them being stacked. I didn't go off and buy one already or anything...

Oh washiskin that sounds suspiciously like star wars talk !

would you mind if I asked where you got the x wing and it's size ? Assuming I'm right and it is a star wars thing and I haven't completely lost my mind !

I got it in Banba toys on Mary St (?) in Dublin. They have 4 left. It's about 76cm long, so quite a substantial one. Yes, it is definitely a Star Wars thing

Visited the Brown Thomas Christmas shop today and bought a decoration. I was very excited.

So glad the hamsters are feeling better today! It was getting worrying yesterday when boards kept failing to load. I was in such a panic I almost took to the street carolling to get my Christmas kicks. Although in this case it literally would be kicks if I tried singing haha.

Yeah, what was up with Boards yesterday!! I was having a panic attack also!

Feeling so excited for Christmas today! Whenever I'm stressed or have things on my mind I think of Christmas to try to get said things out of my mind lol

Loughc

Haha I do the same! All the BT coverage in the news/social media and the start of xfactor this weekend pretty much has launched the Christmas season in my mind! 4 months of Christmassy bliss haha.

Speaking of which we are only 4 months away from Christmas Eve!

I spoke too soon! The hamsters #boardsflu is still there. If you need help getting through your Monday keep in touch on Twitter using the hashtag #boardschristmas until the site is fully functional again.

I was just wondering yesterday if I should sign up for Twitter!

I'm after having a nap with the baby. I dreamed that I was planning a shopping trip to ikea. Apparently I was sure I'd get all my Christmas shopping there for a great price.

I was gonna buy my aunt a wooded spoon with a ribbon on it???

Glitzgirl

Woo hoo I'm back ! Having panic attacks and christmas withdrawal symptoms there yesterday !

Hahaha, it could be worse I work up a few weeks ago after having a dream it was Christmas and I hadn't a single present bought, it literally went from August to December overnight in my dream! :eek:

It must be something in the air my 7 year old came in crying this morning. He dreamt it was christmas and he forgot to leave his stocking out and got no presents from santa and woke up upset. Then when he realised it was just a dream and it wasn't christmas at all yet he broke into hysterics. Apparently waking up to realise it's not christmas is worse than realising you didn't get a gift from santa

Glitzgirl

By the way loughc I'd wake up in cold sweats if I had your dream! It's every organised persons / christmas nut worst nightmare lol
