**Woohoo !! It's Christmas Day**

[mandymouse]

Is anyone braving the shops today ? Hubby dragged me to Birmingham this morning. Thankfully we didn't need much, so we were in and out in no time - It was packed with Christmas shoppers

I'm glad I'm home now

Eek!!! I rarely go to the shops anymore, Mandy - unless I'm on holiday!!!

However, I did do my last little bit of online shopping today as suddenly had inspiration for our 14 year old niece - a Fossil watch and a set of GHD straighteners! Got an excellent deal with the watch. Bought it from the H Samuel website where it was half the price of everywhere else, got 12% cashback via Quidco AND a £25 voucher (for spending on Jim Shore Disney figures after Christmas) which this meant the £65 watch cost around £3...

Also got my DH a set of the Bose noise reduction headphones as he's doing a lot more travelling with work nowadays and they were on 4 EasyPay instalments on QVC... All in all, an excellent day...

Yeah, me too! I confess that I got her this set as I REALLY wanted it myself...

BTW I've just had a Chrismosa (thanks DH ), we're watching Elf and I'm feeling v-e-r-y festive...

I really don't like the film Elf... Robert adores it, but there's something about it that makes me feel very uncomfortable..... Don't know what though....

It is a bit strange in a hilarious sort of way.

We went to the town carol service earlier - they had a real donkey there, plus a couple from the congregation dressed as Mary and Joseph and their little baby wrapped up as Jesus. The baby was absolutely gorgeous and lay as good as gold the whole way through. The Salvation Army brass band was playing too and it was a lovely service.

Even earlier I wrapped presents and cried my eyes out through Love Actually and It's a Wonderful Life.

Later on we all watched The Flint Street Nativity - has anyone else got that DVD?

We watched that too - I've started watching that so many times and never finished it so it was great to see it all! Loved it - esp those cute walruses!!!
