Lucky you! We are moving out of our apartment on Saturday but still haven’t found a house so moving home.

Not looking likely I’ll be in somewhere before Xmas

Oh no!!

Make the use of being back at home, make sure Mammy Kitten spoils you.

I’m currently on tender hooks to make sure we’ll be all setup and have floors, blinds, curtains and furniture all in, in time for Christmas setup.

kitten_k · 11-10-2018 9:30pm

Ah sure there will be plenty more Christmas to be had.

Looking forward to seeing your decorations this year

Fingers crossed I get time to pop out and get the ones I want. The floors will barely be laid and I’ll be looking to put up the the tree.

Is it a brand new house Loughc?
If so, lucky you, i'd love to have had the flexibility that a blank canvas such as that brings. When I bought our house it had been lived in by a DIY freak who had the most awful taste in colour & finishes... It took me years (& a wife) to get it the way 'we' wanted;)

Either way, best of luck.

Yes it’s a new build. It’s very exciting we’re just want to be in now we bought back in April.

Exciting times!!

They actually plug in or use batteries and they looks really nice when plugged in tested it last night.

I think I saw it advertised on Facebook.
My two local Carraig Donn's have closed down.

It’s where French Connection used to be, although I didn’t realise it had opened already.

jellybear · 20-10-2018 4:12pm

I love Carraig Donn. Got this gorgeous decoration there last year at half price in their sale

SarahLil · 20-10-2018 4:42pm

Yeah it opened in Blanch yesterday

Don’t know what the red emoji is above sorry I posted quickly on my phone

SarahLil · 20-10-2018 4:44pm

Beautiful decoration Jellybear and Toto my friend has picked me up stunning decorations from Carraig Donn over the years I adore them I’m hoping I can add to my collection when I get to the new store

I think that's why my one's closed in Cork people only really shopped in the sale.

jellybear · 20-10-2018 5:02pm

Yeah, they are a bit in the expensive side. Their stuff is generally very good quality though. I just got lucky the day I saw that the sale was on

DvB · 25-10-2018 9:01am

Off work today, kids are off school so I'm parenting... will be popping down to the Blanch SC later with them so must check out the crimbo shops, always incredibly tempting to pickup something nice, especially as we got paid yesterday:D

omb0wyn5ehpij9 · 25-10-2018 9:30am

Nothing bought for Christmas yet. First year living with my girlfriend so will have to pick up a new set of decorations. We'll probably start picking up bits in the next week or two.
As for presents....I will do my tradition and buy all the selection boxes I need as the first presents to buy

MiliMe · 25-10-2018 1:42pm

This will be our first year married, we were still using the decorations that my OH and his ex had when they lived in the house. Definitely need to get out for new ones this year!!!

Curlysue76 · 25-10-2018 9:16pm

Hi everyone. Bought tickets for myself and my daughter to see Les Mis in January, and booked a night in hotel. That’s her pretty much sorted, got her a new iPhone for her 16th in Sept so I told her that was birthday and Christmas gift so she’ll be shocked and delighted with tickets. I can’t wait. Just a few stocking fillers and she’s done.

Posy · 25-10-2018 11:02pm

Ah that sounds great. What a lovely surprise.

SarahLil · 28-10-2018 7:10pm

collected my gifts from Boots that I ordered online they are part of my friends gifts il have to have a look out for something else too, hopefully get them finished off soon, I have his sister finished now completely,

dudara · 28-10-2018 7:17pm

I haven’t really started to think about Christmas yet as we are planning to move house at the end of November.

However, I was in IKEA today and I couldn’t resist some gorgeous paper star-shaped lights. They’ll be beautiful at Christmas. Search Stråla, €10 each

Did anyone get the Flame Effect Lantern from Aldi? Just saw this thread now and am way too late. Just wondering if it looks as good in real life as it does in the photo!

My mam got it. Seems to be sold out in a lot of Aldis, my sister has been lookong for one. Personally, I like it but it is quite fake looking. I've attached a picture of it...it's a screenshot from a video so sorry about the play sign!

Lidl have something similar from Monday.

Toto Wolfcastle · 01-11-2018 3:08pm

Bought a plain wreath in Ikea for €8 yesterday. I had to talk myself out of going into Dealz at lunchtime to get decorations for it. I figure that the longer I wait, the more choice I'll have. It's my first ever wreath so I'm very excited!

Penneys have tiny baubles that would be gorgeous on that

Posy · 01-11-2018 3:31pm

That's a lovely wreath. Very natural and real looking.

Toto Wolfcastle · 01-11-2018 4:13pm

It’s surprisingly nice for €8 isn’t it? I spent the whole walk back to the car talking about how much of a bargain it is.

SarahLil · 01-11-2018 4:50pm

I love a bargain Toto, dealz had a lot of Christmas stuff yesterday when I popped in, your wreath will be fab

I'm online all day trying to get these Nike Golf shoes for himself that are meant to be released to Nike Plus members today they haven't appeared, they are meant to be on general sale tomorrow to the public I hope its not just the USA and I can get them online tomorrow

Whispered · 01-11-2018 11:24pm

Bought my first ever Christmas duvet today. Penguins!

CheerLouth · 02-11-2018 9:50am

I bought this last night:
https://riverlanememories.com/collections/personalised-christmas-gifts/products/personalised-christmas-eve-box-with-festive

It's a bit dear but I figure that we'll have it for years

And hopefully it'll be the start of a new tradition for us. I have a copy of the Night Before Christmas to put in it and I'll put some sweets in too for the kids.

I also treated myself to a Yankee Christmas Magic candle - it smells divine! Am WFH today and have it lit, it's so nice

And it was half price so win win!

God I miss being able to WFH

CheerLouth · 02-11-2018 10:30am

I do it three days a week, Loughc, as otherwise I've a two hour commute (thanks M50 :rolleyes: ) But you've got to be disciplined! Speaking of which......bye!
