Went shopping today to organise Christmas for next Friday (Oct 29th). We are celebrating early with friends we usually see every New Year but we won't be able to do it this year.
It was so hard to find crackers . M&S had some but they were a ridiculous price. I could have had lots of 3 for 2 Christmas cards and so on. Anyway, found some in Trading 4 U.

I always buy them after Christmas in the sales....then I promptly forget and buy more  I have been Christmas shopping today with my daughter...brought most of the 'family' pressies now just need to concentrate on my Grandaughter ;D My daughter kept telling me that she was too young for everything...... but she will grow into them won't she? Well she'd better cos I brought them when she wasn't with me... ;D ;D ;D |

Money Saving Expert or Money Supermarket (one of the two) said to hold off buying anything until the sales start before Xmas. From the examples they were giving, I assumed it was just about food.
They were talking about Mince Pies, Xmas Puds and Confectionery.

You could try online MRH. Jenny got us all ones with our names on them one year when we were all together and some of ours are not common either. |
