to say the C word?

[LadyOfTheManor]

Christmas. Tesco, this morning, were busily laying out their Christmas displays for advent calendars and selection boxes.

Have a baby due 3 weeks before Christmas, so need to get cracking. Any ideas of some websites to get gifts?

[iklboo]

For the second year running we're ahead on pressie buying. I don't know what's come over us!

[iklboo]

Sorry, pressed 'send' too soon. Try the supermarket websites to compare gifts/prices. We find that helpful.

Thought you meant Cunt.

I tend to get everything from amazon or play.com (free delivery)

If you are ordering online though make sure you order by november at latest regardless of what the website claims

[LadyOfTheManor]

Fabby, it isn't too late in the day for me to start.

Yes but I don't know what to buy, my brain is scrambled and my bloody husband is no use.

Thought you meant a different C word

I have already started Christmas shopping, with 10 nieces/nephews,and 3 DCs. I have to start early

[LadyOfTheManor]

Welshy, share with me, what did you buy? I have 7 nieces/nephews one 18 mo old and one will be 3 weeks if on time...2 sets of parents and I'm by-passing my siblings (me and dh are both one of 5!)

Advice for the 3 week old, money to be put in the bank for child's future. Newborns always end up with a ridiculous amount of clothes/teddies when the are born from family/friends.

Here's my bought list already
DNieces 10yo + 11yo- Moshi monsters gift set with 3 months online membership[the new big interest to the children I know at the mo] Also bought one for DS

DNephew8yo - 3 Richard Hammond Blast labs / science tests - all different experiments. Also bought one each for DS 7yo and DD13yo

DNephew5yo - fantastic police lego set, he is a massive lover of lego,and anything that nee-nors

DNephew3yo - a play kitchen set -he is always playing with my DDs when he visits, do have to get him some pretend food, as the kitchen did not have much with it

Have a look at 'The entertainer' website, they are having a massive sale on at the moment, and spend over £30 for free deleivery.
Hope this helps x

[LadyOfTheManor]

Welshy, yes the science lab thing sounds good, dh and I were talking about that for my nephew just last night...think I'll hunt one down!

[welshbyrd]

If you go on to The Entertainer the Richard Hammond ones are all half price, which is why I bought my nephew 3

I have just spent two nights (7 to 9 September, ffs!) in a hotel (which I will not advertise) with a massive great C-tree in the lobby.

HUMBUG even in December . . . but now?

There's a Christmas topic where you can say the C word whenever you like...
