I quite like picking up a few bits and bobs for next Christmas but I haven't this year. Got side tracked in the GC yesterday as I met a friend and we had coffee instead of trawling through the reduced stuff.

Sounds good to me Jasmine - coffee and cake instead of being pushed and shoved ;D

Coffee and cake are good at any time.  |

Yes, they are! ;D
Talking of cake - I noticed littlest twin's piano teacher still had her Christmas cake on the side in the kitchen. I wonder how long some Christmas cakes linger. My Mum made one every year and it went on forever ;D

They do keep for a long time don't they. It's all that alcohol in them. ;D

That'll be it. Just odd to see snowy icing and Christmas decorations as the months go on. If the cake lasts long enough it should meet the decs and cards coming into the shops in August ;D

We've always eaten 2 Xmas cakes ( 24cms or 9") before January 6th  |

That is quite small (only a handspan across) and I could see how you could manage 2 that size in that time  ;D |

I have a third one, but it's hidden away until we come back from holiday  |

I went into Wilkos yesterday and brought a few reduced decs and then I popped into the card shop to get a birthday card and brought 10 rolls of Christmas wrapping paper for £1 and I got tags to match too...will be sharing these with my daughter as there is no way I will get thru that lot especially as I had already brought some just after Christmas in the sales..

I have never seen so much reduced to 10p as I have this year. It's almost giving it away. Well done on your bargains MRH i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/cheesy.gif |

You can't possibly use "last year's designs" Jasmine ........won't be trendy next time round.....and don't you colour co-ordinate your wrapping paper with your decorations?  ?? ;D |
