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

[PoppyAnna]

We love Ludo at the moment.
I saw Disney Monopoly at toys-r-us and quite fancy it, although DD's are a bit young.....
I loved Battleships, Cluedo when I was young and Connect4.
I love the old games - I'm determined to get my girls around the table playing them, I think it's a great way to spend family time in the winter when it's cold outside especially with tea and biscuits to hand......

I noticed that BHS has got it's Christmas shop set up now. There were lots of nice Bailey's gifts there, so I may have to drop some hints about them to the family

I picked up some giftbags from Poundland, 3 different sizes with either Santa, Snowmen or Rudolf on for a quid and some Winnie the Pooh paper for my friends pressies. I think I may start some wrapping up later today

Nat, do you remember when you and Joh came round before the Girly Weekend last year, and all the presents were under the stairs ? Well it's looking like that again now

Another really good game is articulate

We love playing this. Basically you have a set time to describe words to your team without saying the word and just like pictionary you have different categories, people, places, action etc.

Last christmas my nanny and grandad were round and we all played it but they couldn't really cope with the fast pace and didn't really get the concept. My nanny had 'Prince of Darkness' on her card and she said well I think he must be royality but I've not heard of him

Then my grandad had 'A hinge' on his card so he says to his team, it's a hinge and they were all trying to guess what it could be; bracket, join, door etc and obviously no one got it so when the time ran out and they said what was it and grandad said 'A Hinge' we just fell about

I've been out shopping with my mum again today. I am so surprised that most of the shops still don't have any christmas stuff out! (I'm sulking now!) Even Asda hasn't got anything out except some of the biscuits, sweets stuff.

I did manage to get a few bits though - I got my dad some Slippers, Radox bath smellies & a pair of Jeans. I also got my Secret Exchange gifts.

Oh and a bottle of Caramel Baileys! Which I will be trying tonight probably - thanks Michelle!

Our Asda had nothing...just loads of Halloween & Xmas food stuff, selection boxes, sweets, biscuits etc.

I got the Baileys in Asda - it was £12.47 i think for a 70cl bottle....I've just looked on Tesco's website and it on offer there - just under £11 if memory serves - typical.....oh well I'll just have to get another bottle if I like it!

 

[natalielongstaff]

I got a lovely present for the two mums ( mine and John's) it was a book with a calender a month on each page and then its filled with birthday cards !

its supposed to be £15 i got them for £4 each

Did you see the black leather look armchair,with a bottle of beer sitting in it+a chocolate remote control?-I am going to get that to go with my Grandad's pressies,and will no doubt find something else to get the offer .x.

Ta ! i will keep an eye out in the hinckley store

I think the Baileys is on offer until about the 25th oct - they also have the 1litre original Balieys reduced from £17 to £13.99! They have all the tins of sweets such as Celebrations, Roses, Quality St etc all reduced down to £6too.

Might be worth you popping down there Michelle.
