Woohoo! I'm On A Roll

Thought I'd make an early start on Christmas and got all of the Advent Calendar Bag of Doom goodies today (all from Asda online) and got two fab deals on Amazon - easy peasy this Christmas lark, will have it all sorted by the weekend :)

Would you notice if I slipped an extra page on to your list?

I'm sure Mr cake would be cool with a Lego set if that helps......

sherr ( well done making a start ) what is a bag of doom ?.

[sherrardk]

There's not going to be any Lego this year, I can't move for the stuff - there's even a big set on top of one of the fish tanks.

The bag of doom is a huge bag with 24 wrapped 'gifts' (it's just sweets, etc - the same as they would usually get after tea). They take it in turns to pick one out, it's called the bag of doom because some 'gifts' are a bit rubbish compared to others. I started it last year as it is cheaper than the Lego/Play Mobil advent calendars (as I buy them sweets for after tea anyway). Christmas Eve they get a 'gift' with biscuits, sweets, popcorn, Pringles, coke, etc

OK, let's come to a deal I'll relieve you of spare Lego....there has not been enough Lego in my life


And for gods sake what kind of crap mother are you giving your kids sweets.......I'm shocked and outraged at what a poor mother your are....stand in a corner and hang your head in shame .........;-)

[tonyav]

Ah right, thanks sherr. Sounds like a good idea the bag of doom.

[sherrardk]

Eccles - I'd better get comfy in my corner, I did spend rather a lot on chocolates and biscuits :(

[sherrardk]

Don't know what the Asda delivery person is going to think - I've only ordered sweets and booze!

[EcclesCake]

Suck on a cider in the corner of shame.....and a cola bottle if you fancy ;-)

They'll probably think it's just your normal weekly order then, won't they?

I used to do an advent calendar, but two years ago I totted the cost up and I had spent around £120 on it. I also do a huge stocking that daughter SIL and five grandchildren get a pressie. This is on top of main presents. So I decided to stop the calendar. Daughter used to do one for us as well so I told her to stop also. I think she was relieved as it got a bit difficult finding 12 things for me and 12 things for OH.
