I work for a High st retailer (3 letters, starting with the 2nd letter of the alpabet lol) and I shall be working tonight putting in Xmas shop in store. All the branches around the country will be putting in their Xmas shops tonight and you'll be able to go in stores tomorrow to purchase your Xmas presents. For those of you that know the company has a corporate toy each year which is a cuddly toy. Well this year there are 2, Toby the Terrier and Bertie the Bear and they are both absolutely gorgeous this year, really soft and cuddly. Merry Chistmas everyone ho ho ho. Helen

Afternoon everyone, Well I've just surfaced after having 4 and half hours sleep. Well we got everything finished by 6am this morning, It looks absolutley fantastic,there are some lovely gifts this year, some beautful barrel make up cases, the home section has some really nice pot pourri and dinning table accessories. The children section has some lovely toys including a rapping crocodile that sings. The food and drink section has the usually boxed biscuits and gifts for Grandparents which always sell well and there is the usually naughty adult gifts. Go along and have a look and see, I think you'll be pleasently surprised. Helen
