Eek Jessie's first Xmas, Lisa! So special (ditto Kirsty and her new baby!) 

my 4yo niece wants ' a unicorn that is sequins and rainbow and sparkly and the sequins go two ways and it's rainbow and all that in a unicorn' and I actually found one, so basically the best Aunty ever at this stage

I've been doing so much online shopping. Poor couriers. Very aware we need to post Christmas presents up north so want to get stuff sorted early! Plus I'm just organised like that. 

Excited we are doing Christmas at our house this year rather than travelling for the first time in a while. Will be so nice!

I'm working Christmas this year. Sad I'll probably miss the Christmas feed but I'll be alright if I get my pay.

My courier is amazing and she does a morning and afternoon run so sometimes I get parcels twice a day lol it is exciting! I'm looking for a decent hat for summer. I like those brimmed felt hats but wondering if they would make your head too hot?....anyone got one?
I've bought so many brimmed hats but they always go floppy lol it's not a good look.

Bahahahahahs im sure youre a cute scarecrow! Ive seen your kiddo and shes cute  therefore, you must be too!! Haha ;-p 

I often see hats at markets or the a&p show and they always look snazzy. Otherwise i guess google will be your friend? But good luck!

Wow awesome hat Shaz and a lovely pic too! You could've gone into the mask business. Actually I can't understand why supermarkets, the Warehouse etc don't sell some decent masks either.

I could have, maree, but my newsfeed on faceache was mask post after mask post cos every bob, lob and their dog was sewing them. It still is some days /eyeroll

There is also no joy in sewing them, for me. They're just. Boring. Thats why i didn't make my own as well haha

I treated myself to some new shoes. I had hoped Mecca might take part. But alas. Does anyone remember if they did a Boxing Day sale last year?

Mecca did some curated boxes for Black Friday but the one I wanted wasn't instock online at all. They did have an offer for a couple of days where every order comes with three deluxe samples so I took advantage of that one. 

Yes, they did have a Boximg Day sale last year but it's usually just reduced Xmas gift boxes and old stock. I've never known them to do a 25% off everything grape of sale.
