10 sleeps

[MamaPizzaChristmasToppings]

Oh! My! God!

Single figures tomorrow. Eeeeeek!

Morning MammaPizza

10 !

O M G

It's soooooooooooooooooooo exciting !

Hello Peanuts, have been wondering where you were hiding

DS embarrassed me in town today. There was a smallish lady with a weird hat. He pointed at her and shouted out:" There's an elf!". Ooops

Ho Ho!!! bet you looked like this

Am desperately trying to stop buying now...I DO NOT NEED ANY MORE GIFTS!!

Are you all ready?

Ho ho ho indeed

I thought I had finished ages ago, but I got some more today. I need to be tied to the house for the next 9.5 days otherwise I won't be able to afford food

Oh dear... I have just updated DS's Christmas presents spreadsheet I have one because I'm a geek and added up how much I have spent. About a month ago it was £80, it is now £190. Eeeek! Although surely I must make it an even sum and get to £200

In my defence - he doesn't have a big extended family so what we get is more or less all he gets. And he is a spoilt only child

Go away I haven't done my cards, tree or a billion other jobs yet!

OOOH very arranged!!
Im more of the run round grabbing things type. Im just going to enjoy living in ignorance about how much Ive spent

I have a thing about even sums too
What would he like for £10? not encouraging you at all

No tree yet startail ?

I also run around like a headless chicken and just grab what I can, but I like to write it down afterwards. I seriously need anti-geekness help

Hm, I'm tempted to get him the Elc food mixer, that's £10, but DH isn't keen. He has got too much for his kitchen already. Or maybe some dressing up? Yes, children love dressing up and it encourages imagination

Startail! Get of MN NOW and get started

whoo-hoo!

I've got everything now, just need the butcher to call to say he has my meat and that it's it after from a quick fruit and veg shop nearer the time.

My living room looks lovely, all newly decorated, garlands, door swags, tree, decorations, candles...I'm loving it.

All I need is snow outside and I'm very very happy.

Wrapping the last of few last minute purchases tonight and that's it!. Even got the christmas eve hamper ready!

Oooh, you are very organized mole. Sounds lovely.

It's supposed to snow here tomorrow. Live in the midlands. Fingers crossed

It's supposed to snow here too, Mama. Bit further south to you.

I expect we will have a little flurry that will be washed away by teatime.

I have lists of lists of lists of things I need to get. Not much I don't think, and the food shop, which there's no point doing till the end of next week anyway.

I have done my cards, will post tomorrow, and I think will get wrapping paper and wrap most of the presents this weekend.

Nearly there ! I always get slightly panicky about now, worrying that I haven't forgotten anything.

I also tend to go overboard and get some 'extra' presents. I need to stop doing that. I have no idea how much I've spent. I did it in stages, so I wouldn't have to think about it !

10 more sleeps for my adult christmas (wow that sounds rude it's perfectly innocent promsie guv' just dc's are with xh) and 11 sleeps until christmas really begins! hehe

Fnaaar Fnaar & a big old Snurk at mole hoping her butcher has his meat for her :o :o and at stacey's adult Christmas :o :o

(Am I missing the point of this thread somewhat?!) :o

soooooooooooooo happy and excited. my countdown to last day of term is 1--yipee.

Aaaaaargh mama you let me sneak off and I bought stuff

Ahem....

My name is Peanut and I am a Christmas shopaholic

Do I need some steps or rehab?

Nearly there, MrsChristmas! I must admit, I still haven't done the cards even though I said last week I'd do them. So tonight is the night hopefully

Ha ha, peanuts! We should both have straight jackets for the next days Did you buy anything nice?

Pirate, soooo jealous. I loved doing the school breakup countdown, but have been unemployed since September I want to go back and moan and long for the holidays.

Stacey, are you going to sit on Santa's lap

Flubba, we are just all mad ladies who can't wait for Christmas.

Almost NINE! Anyone want to join me in the boobie jump again?

nearly knocks self out

Nothing I needed mama!

Oh I am mad for Christmas too - I've been getting ready for it for months!

Ouch, I think I got a bruise now

Flubba, you should have joined at 25 days, but it is never too late. Beat me to starting 9 days tomorrow, I know you want to and I confess I started in January already

Oh I love a challenge. I shall beat you for nine days (that is to say, I'll beat you to starting the thread (or is it continuing this one?), I shan't beat you for nine days solid

I've run out of wrapping paper, labels, cards and sellotape. That's it. I'm not buying anything else.

Mole, I can give you some of mine
