Well that time of year is creeping up on us and just wondered if you were a lover or a hater lol???

I LOVE IT!! I am always organised way too early after running a toy shop with my parents for 10 years you get used to getting in early as you know fine well if you don't by the time u start to think its too late all the good stuff has already gone! We were there for Teletubbies, Buzz lightyear and Tracy Island and I cant help myself having to source this years must have. Got my 15 year old daughter a Go Go Hampster which she will think I have gone mad but it gives me pleasure knowing I got one lol ;)

I love sourcing really unusual gifts and my OH is a total car-a-holic since we have been together (7 years) he has bought and sold about 13 he never loses money but still drives me mad with it! I ordered him a personlised calendar from Vistaprint was free apart from the £3 p & p and its so cool, pics and captions of all his cars and I know he will love it yet it cost peanuts, can def recommend it if you are after a personal touch. I got the idea from my daughter who did one for me a few years ago it was lovely.

We will be spending xmas in our caravan for the 1st time will be good fun we have found a really good way of keeping warm in bed, no not that!! :eek: but I found out mattressa a bit lumpy and after looking at mattress protectors decided the were not much diff to a duvet! so bought a single value duvet from Adsa cost about £7 and it is pretty much the right size for covering a double mattress and with 13 togs on top and on the bottom you will nice and toasty!

Anyone else spending Xmas in their van??????????

Love it but hate spending all that money on presents that are played with for a couple of days then never see the light of day again , we bought our son a WI console last year cost us nearly £400 with extra games, controllers etc he played on it 4 times and its now back in its box nearly new and for sale what a waste of money!!! (oh and usually have to work over christmas too)

Absolutely love chrismas and will be spending it in my caravan with friends, the only downside to xmas is that I do feel it has gone ever so slightly commercialised and many people have forgot the true values of xmas,

just my tuppence worth!

ha ha glad its not just me! would love to go up to the van for Xmas we planned that last year but the snow came 2 days before so can't risk it this year. We we there all last week and it was freezing and Maya the little dog sneaks her way under the covers when we are asleep you wake up and theres a little furry hot water bottle in bed!! Sandy has her bed under the dressing table where the radiator is so she was cosy too :D
