Default Oh my god, Christmas shopping is oh so very near!!!! Eeeek

Well it is getting near that time again and I have just had panic thoughts mainly along the lines off ...


... "AARRRGGHHHHH, 2 and a half months till christmas and I haven't even thought of things to buy people, been out christmas shopping, and I have the one most awkward, most difficult person to buy a present for in the whole world!!!!"


Sooo is anyone else having the same thoughts? Done any christmas shopping? Have we got any pre planned and organised shoppers here? Or are you all just christmas eve shoppers (all the blokes I presume! )?

I think I am going to have to buck my ideas up and get in the shops! Oh what a shame

Bought quite a few pressies this week for Sarah and the family. One thing that I am hoping goes down well are the digital photoframes. Got a few of these for the Mum in Law and Mother. About £30.00 each delivered from eBuyer. I keep checking Hot UK Deals for other ideas and stocking fillers. I am hoping to have most if not all of the presents done when my bonus comes in October. That will just leave a special one I need to get for Sarah and Alexander to get in December. It's a little bit daft but it will make them smile when they open it

That is a good idea! Although I wouldn't have actually been able to do any shopping any earlier this year! Ah well!

I don't blame you to be honest. I try and do that so I won't be so stressed

Mei, it is a really good idea, I just completely forgot this year!

Dee that is a genius idea, although knowing me if I took the day off it would be the worst weather and it would be a complete and utter nightmare, and the day would be wasted!!

LOL Del Lardo! That is comical! What did they get in the end!?!?!?

I'll start thinking about it at the end of the month, might buy the odd thing if I see something perfect but otherwise I'll start shopping in November.

It's mainly thought that goes into it before hand and then go get it all in December
