Forgive me Mumsnet for I have twitched!!

[2anddone]

So dc presents have been brought for about a month and I am finished all of my Christmas shopping. For the last 7 years (since dd was born) I have stuck to a stocking and 2 gifts from Santa, one from me, one from the sibling and one from the dog giving 5 gifts under the tree (not including extended family and friends gifts) and around 10 little gifts in the stocking. I usually end up with 1 gift that over spills the stocking and today when I got them out to wrap they didn't look big enough to overspill!!
So this evening I have bought a large Donald Duck plush from the Disney store and a large minion from build a bear. This comes 2 days after telling my children they have too many teddies on their beds!! Arghh the twitch got me please say I am not alone

[traviata]

oh yes, twitchety twitch twitch.

I finished my shopping for the DC last week. I have more than enough for them both for years to come.

I just bought an electric wax warmer for DD off ebay.

[MyIronLung]

You're not alone op. I just twitched too.

In my defence it was such a great offer I couldn't not twitch! (Playmobil ark down from £70 to £30!)

I've now got twitchers guilt

[nilbyname]

I just bought Dh another book. Twitch!!!

It's a nightmare. Money is pouring out of the bank like water!

[MyIronLung]

nilby I keep seeing books too but I cannot let myself twitch! I've already bought 3 book sets from the book people which equals about 35 books! ( ds also has The night before Christmas book for Christmas Eve...)

[FattySantaRobin]

I spent £50 on stuff my DC do not need today. but I couldn't help it.

[AdoraBell]

I'm not twitching. Not me. Oh no. I do not need to buy DH aftershave to go with what I've already bought

[FattySantaRobin]

adora please take mine too! I've spent too much and now I'm skint.

[ChipsandGuac]

I haven't bought anything yet! I know what I'm getting, I just haven't got round to actually buying it.

[SpendSpendSpend]

im starting to feel it. Very nearly bought the Anna and Elsa barbie dolls today at £10 each.

I resisted but i do keep looking online at things and i know she has enough already

[nilbyname]

Bloody hell- Asos has 30% off gifts-

Got Dh a credit card tool and some moisturiser! This is insane, to bed now!!!!

[FattySantaRobin]

nil shhh! 🙉🙉🙉

[xalyssx]

I twitched last week, but only by two £5 things, so I'm not too worried.

[Trudee]

I twitched too
I swore I was finished and resisted a small twitch a couple of weeks ago and instead I twitched massively on Tuesday
Oh well, it's Christmas!

[JocelynWildensteinOnABroom]

You have no idea how pleased I am that this is a 'thing'. I keep twitching. It's getting ridiculous now, but am so glad it's not just me!! 🙈🎄🎁

Night feeds are proving to be very expensive, cos I browse online to keep myself awake. The Book People & ELC are my faves to browse at the mo. ELC doesn't have an extra 20% off all their toys til Sunday, oh no

[CakeNinja]

I have only just started my shopping so I don't get time to twitch

[Ninkynonkrinkydonk]

I'm trying so so hard not to twitch. But someone sent me a link to Mr Fox gift guides and it's so hard! There's a lunch bag that closes with a belt that would be PERFECT for dp. And an OMG light for ds. And a house shape ornament I'd quite like myself...

[Heavenscent86]

I'm trying really hard not to twitch as well. Just found the lottie dolls which I love for my daughter. But I must resist!

[Tenpastlate]

I twitched and bought a £20 toy truck to make the 2 piles of presents look more equal in size. I am now trying really hard not to succumb again to make DCs' presents up to the same value for the sake of fairness!

[Kim82]

Reading this thread just made me twitch and buy Ds a few more stocking fillers. It was only £12 for 3 things though so it's not too bad.

[Boutonneux]

I had a huge twitch yesterday and bought son 15 an iPad mini.

Twitchy twitchy twitchy [santa]

[notenoughbottle]

I twitched in the Disney Store too... A HUGE lotso, one good dinosaur and a Minnie Hoover for my two year old. Whoops!

[nilbyname]

This thread is like crack.

I've just bought DS a popcorn maker!!!!

[AdoraBell]

[FattySantaRobin]

Thanks adora

[AdoraBell]

Ten that's what I struggle with too. We have twins and the bloody voice in my head keeps asking - is that equal/fair?
