It's Nearly Christmas

[Splottlands]

Anyone have a Batleys account and still needs to buy their dogs' Crimbo pressies?

I cadged a lift to the Cardiff branch today and and

They have a lot of Christmas stuff on massive markdowns, Santa Meercats for 79p, Snowflake Chews 21p for 4, Selection boxes 99p, good quality ball on rope tuggers 99p...I could go on....and on....

Came back with a huuuge box of pressies for ours for the princely sum of £13.00. Considering it's pressies for 7 creatures I was a little on the chuffed side ;D

I'd love to post pics, but I can't; wouldn't want to risk spoiling Christmas Morning for the little ones if they happened across the picture

I just may be feeling the tiniest bit Christmassy but don't tell anyone

Everybody always seems to get amazing stuff at Batelys - I've never ever been to one, there isn't one for miles round Surrey.

I do have Lidls on my Sat Nav though ;D

Oh! and I am the proud new owner of a Cost-Co Card ;D

Kath, I'll show you mine if you show me yours ;D

I have to say, it did make me quake a bit when i went into Cost-Co's I don't like shopping anyway, and all I had to get was tea, coffee and sugar, but I found it all a bit scary as everything was in GIANT packs, and it made me feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland after sipping from the 'Drink me' bottle

I have a Batleys account for my grooming. Batleys is trade only so unlike Costco not just anyone can have membership. I keep meaning to pop down there for gravy bones If anyone needs anything let me know as I can pop down one evening this week. Or if anyone wants to come with me I can take +1 in with me but dont get overexcited like my Dad did lol

Go on Amy - how much did he spend save? That's why I don't like shopping, I can't resist a buy two get the third free/ something was was 28p dearer last week/ something I think we've run out of but have got a stash in the broom cupboard cos OH has been 'tidying'..... I goes out for a loaf of bread and I come back saying 'I've saved £27.00'! and OH says where is all this money you've saved then - have we got enough to buy a holiday (because I must have saved literally hundreds and hundreds by now). So why is my bank account on zero the whole time if I'm such a canny saver

Amy beat me to it

Update...I have now written and given 3 - yes 3!!! - Christmas cards

ETA I got so carried away I couldn't even spell written 'tis the excitement, innit?

[amyjo]

It was more along the lines of 'Ooooh we can get this , that & the other for Louie' in a rather loud voice. Im dying of embarassment esp with it being trade only shopping I do get a few things for Louie but most is to sell on lol. Funny enough I havent taken him back lol

All our deccies are up. All presents bought and wrapped.

It's my doggie's first proper Christmas!! ;D


She was only a couple of months old for her first Christmas.



I was worried how she would take to the tree and she LOVES balls of all shapes and sizes.

I dumped all deccies that are a potential hazard and replaced the baubles with old-fashioned paper mache ones just in case she'd chew one, but she's been very good and the tree has been ignored despite temptations.
