Finished your Christmas shopping yet?

[Night Train]

Not doing any this year so I guess its all done then.

 

[Headgardener]

Haven't started yet plan to do that tomorrow. Fortunatly only need to get something for six people as we are a small family and anyway I don't spend more than £30 on anybody so not to expensive either.

 

[Bayerd]

Yes - done and dusted. But now I've got to wrap them all, which is a job I really dislike. I like having everything under the tree though. Doing the tree on Sunday...

I prefer just having a bit under the tree....

 

[Brandane]

All done! For the current love of my life, I bought a pair of Tiagra shifters, new cables, chainset, bottom bracket, cassette, chain, and front and rear derailleurs. She's wearing them already .

Nephews and nieces are all of an age when they just want cash.

Just need to get something for the Christmas dinner hosts (brother and his wife).

 

[StuAff]

Yes. Bought nothing, won't be receiving anything.

Starting to panic over Hubby's pressy ...He told me he'd like a new all singing and dancing phone great I thought thats what I'll get him. So been waiting for him to be off work so we can go along and choose it...He's now only told me our eldest son has just upgraded his so he's getting his old one! Now what the hell do I get him for christmas!!!! Men are so difficult to buy for do others agree? Ideas on a postcard please...

I'd like to know what made you think that kind of comment was acceptable in response to my post, Bayerd...

Ow! All those needles!

I'm mostly sorted out. Only close family to buy for, and two of them are nephews aged 3 and nearly 1, so it's not so much what to get, as knowing when to stop. Just a couple of things to get, I went out today to do some, but need to check some preferences before I buy. And hope that the wooden toy stall on the market is there tomorrow - this caught me out last year, he seems to vanish just before Christmas! Still I can get the things elsewhere, it's just he has the best choice.

Just need to think of a small extra for the b-i-l - I've got the diary he wanted, but it looks like a very small gift on its own.

Also got the card and stuff to make my own cards this year, so I need to get on with that...

Genuinely not done any yet... will do some this week... must admit I've normally done online stuff by now, but avoiding that this year.

 

[taxing]

I'm making most of mine this year. I really need to get on with that.

Me and my ex... when I was much younger and much more idealistic, we were skint one year, and made everything... included knitted stuff, embroidered stuff (she did those) and er... can't remember what I made, actually... I also wrote someone a poem as their present... we were totally chuffed with what we'd done, and put a lot of effort into it... erm... the response was underwhelming, but we thought 'sod it' and maybe one or two of them would 'get it' a year or so down the line.

all done and just 1 left to wrap

 

[krushavik]

Got dragged kicking and screaming to the Trafford Centre at 9pm last night, would not have minded if we went earlier but no the better half had to see the second half of Corrie first. But at least its all done now.

 

[Maverick Goose]

I'm really 'lucky' having 2 sisters with birthdays close to crimbo....and the nice people at the joke centre send me lots of lovely forms and stuff as well!
