They already have too much.

I just ordered some playmobil, a board game and an iPad case for DD1... Then panicked than DD2 doesn't have as much so I ordered her a see saw.

A see saw.

In December?

It's like a sickness.

A seesaw?

I twitched today and bought a mini pool table.
I predict a selection box related twitch next...

Yes. This is the first year that I've supposedly been done by 1st December. Well I twitched and brought more for ds1, a pair of trainers he hinted about. He's 17 and I then added a sweatshirt and a t-shirt to get free next day delivery! Now I need to buy ds2 and dd a couple of other things. Blush

I twitched the other day and bought expensive tee shirsts from Australia which probably won't even arrive before Christmas.

I was completely taken in by the fact that the seesaw came in a huge box!

After that it will have to live in the garden where no one will venture for the next four months...

I should cancel.


Shouldn't I? Wink

Oh, but a seesaw is an excellent twitch!

Don't cancel it!

Amazon, here.

Though I bought it 10 minutes ago for £6.99, how odd. It's the same seller too.

I twitched yesterday and bought the older 2 a Rubiks cube each and then to even things up I HAD to buy the younger one a Skylander figure - not that bad in the scheme of things but I clearly cannot be trusted so will keep away from all shops and ebay and Amazon until January (probably)

Last day for Amazon Xmas deliveries to Ireland is Monday. Can't wait. Will finally relax and stop twitching! I never twitch in real shops, the queue puts me off!

I almost twitched with playmobil this morning ( it is one of the things dd2 has asked for ) but then told myself 'I have bought too much already' so instead of buying the bargain playmobil I bought myself the fudge hamper on Amazon lightening deals Grin.

o0 it's sold out online, just checked, so fingers crossed there's some left in store for you! It's £10, slightly excessive for some walnut whips but totally worth it for Christmas!

The box even says, 'we whip you a merry Christmas' - who could resist that?! Grin

Not me, that's for sure!

It'll make a nice change from a metre of Jaffa Cakes. Xmas Grin
