I hate Christmas.............

[annabelle]

I bought most of my baubles more than 10 years ago on the last day of sales at Harrods: this is when they are the cheapest. I have got now some gorgeous baubles, I don't have to buy anything for the rest of my life..... I hope.

Many of ours came from Harrods, but this year there was nothing that we liked. We only brought one new decoration from Fortnum & Mason, it is in the shape of an old fashioned style sweet, in glass with a pink tinge. They had various designs in the same style but we only picked one. I think it was £5.95 so not as expensive as some we looked at that were £30+ but the average price seemed to be £8-12.

Unfortunately, it does not seem to matter how well they are packed, we usually have one or two break when we unpack them, especially as many are very old and fragile

Uuuuuh, £8-12 is quite a lot: I got mine for some £2-2.50 or even less in Sale. I have got so many now, I have not bought anything for a very long time.
