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

[Snowy-girls]

I didn't know they did other flavours - caramel baileys sounds delicious will have to keep my eye open for that one

I've tried mint baileys before but didn't like it much....will look out for the Caramel one that sounds nice.

I love Bailey's, but I've never tried the Caramel one, I think I'd better give it a go

I got a few more things this morning. I got some 3 for 2 smellies from Boots - bargain

Ladies the Caramel is lovely,really delicious,i don't like mint so have'nt tried the Mint one.I think an Orange one would be nice.
Also try Amarula that i mentioned .Sainsbury's sell it as well.x.

Mandy i like the 3 for 2 offers that Boots do-you can get some really lovely stuff .x.

Have just booked the girls in to see Father Christmas at Lakeside Shopping Centre .It is free and they get a toy depending on boy/girl and age.If you want a photo,another toy,keyring,photo snowglobe then you have to pay for this.

Just thought i would let you know in case some of you are near to Lakeside shopping centre.Go online+follow steps to online booking-you will then get to choose your day+time+will then be sent an email containing your voucher to print off.
We have been before and it is fantastic,one of the best ones we have been to.If you don't book a slotted time you can be waiting anything up to 2 hours if not more in the normal queue.x.

Oh bless - the girls will love it!

I always go to see Santa with my Niece & Nephew. We usually go somewhere local and/or Milton Keynes shopping centre as they have a lovely themed area, definately worth a visit if your ever near by.

Last year we took them to Selfridges in London and had a bit of a shopping day, this year we booked it early August for Harrods! The closest date to christmas was 20th November!!!! Which in the end suits us quite well as I go to WDW on 1st Dec. I am really looking forward to it, we will also visit the Disney store on Oxford street and see all the christmas lights!

Kyra was scared to death of Santa last year, he turned up at some Christmas party she was at and she screamed the place down and said he was a bad man LOL.

This year she loves him lol.

I have never been to the Harrods Santa-but i am sure you will all love it-the lights at Christmas are very good+of course you must visit the Disney shop whilst there,it would be rude not to.
Last year we went to the one at Bluewater Shopping Centre(kent ).This is an outdoors one,Santa is in a log cabin+it's all decorated really nice+there are 2 reindeer outside that you can fuss+feed.Every hour there is a snow fall.There's little stalls as well,selling Homemade Christmas Puddings,Mince Pies+bottles of Mulled wine(all quite expensive though).Hot pulled pork+crackling+stuffing rolls,hot salt beef+mustard rolls,hot chocolate-all so yummy.x.

Oh poor Kyra,glad she like him now though .x.

Amarula-has a picture of an elephant+Marula(look like oranges) fruits on the front of the bottle.It is an African Liquer.It is very addictive,me+Hubby have been known to drink the bottle in one evening.x.

Orange baileys, now there's a thought - you've got my mouth watering. Chocolate orange is one of my all time favourite things, Santa always puts one in the end of my stocking

Oh Michelle - you just reminded me that we have got tickets for the Panto on the 23rd Dec....I had totally forgot as I booked them back in January so we could get good seats!

We have been the past two years to Milton Keynes theatre as they normally have Bradley Walsh and he is so funny! This year he isn't in it but it is Peter Pan with Henry Winkler (The Fonz ) & Louisa Lytton (from Eastenders, Strictly & the Bill).

I'm all excited now!

Yes i also love Panto's,it reminds me of when i used to live with my Nan+Grandad and we would go to one every year-i loved that time with them .
Dd3 should be fine,we have taken her to some little shows recently to get her used to sitting thru the long Pantomimes.I think i will get her to dress up in her Sleeping Beauty outfit,tiara+shoes .x.

I love the Fonz .I was quite suprised that we got 8 rows from the front,being as though i left it so late this year,as i wanted to know how Emily would handle a show.x.

I love christmas panto but DH and DD not so keen, DD got scared last year when we went to see Dick Whitington! I think the local amateur dramatic company are doing sleeping beauty this year so we may give that a try. Don't need to book just yet though

Oh i forgot about Monopoly-that is a good game but can take forever and a day to complete,we have bought Chloe Junior Monopoly for Christmas+Emily will be geting Hungry Hippo's(i know it's not a board game,but she liked it when we rented it from the library).
Yes i can understand Scrabble being no fun on your own but you will always win .(me+hubby play naughty body parts word scrabble ).x.

When the children get older you can have fun with The Really Nasty Horse Racing Game.
Destination (where you are a London cab driver) is also good with slightly older children.
