The Christmas train has left the station...

 I see from an earlier blog post that I started my Christmas shopping on 4 October, and today 1 November I did a little more.

 

 

 

One of these muddlers is for Katie - don't worry she doesn't read this blog!

 

 

In other news it is unseasonably mild for November. Yesterday was Halloween and it was just so warm.  Here is a photo of Harry in a neighbour's house, he looks a bit perturbed about the decorations.

Christmas shopping

 Today I went over to the Blanchardstown towncentre and met up with mam. We spent most of our time in TK Maxx - and mainly browsing the homeware section.

 

I bought four cute mugs for myself. 

Each set of 2 was €7 so €14 in total for the set of 4.

How adorable are they?!!!!

 

And then I saw this lovely Spode bowl which matches some spoons I bought for mam last year for Christmas so I bought this as a gift for this year. 

 

Very early to have started Christmas shopping but you know if I buy one or two every month I will be well on my way come December.

 

Kris Kindle - for work colleague

We do Kris Kindle in work and I always find it difficult to know what to buy.

I think I bought something fun this year.  It's an "Air Mail Catapult".

Apparently it is "like email, but more fun"
