Please talk sense to me, I am currently having present panic!! I started in oct and wrapped at beginning of dec as been off sick and had to rely on others but now I'm not sure I've bought enough?! AAAAARRRGGHH

I can't remember what I've bought

I am going through the exact same thing, although I haven't wrapped. Yet. Due to not being able to find nice wrapping paper. Very annoying.

But I have a huge cupboard FULL to bursting with presents, I was going to try to go through them all, opened the door and thought "sod that till I get some paper" and left them ! I do have a list of things still to get, but I keep adding things to it, as I'm sure I haven't got enough !

I sort of remember what I've bought, the 'main' presents and things, but I keep seeing things and thinking of things and thinking "ooh, DS/DD would LOVE them/that".......

I just know when I do my 'last present shop' on Friday, come Saturday when I am ONLY supposed to be getting any food that I couldn't the night before at a mahoosive supermarket, I will end up getting MORE presents in a wildly abandoned "because it's Christmas" way.

Not as painful to think about then !

You were supposed to tell me not to buy more and soothe me, not entice me into late night amazon panic buying

I know, I'm sorry.

Happens every year though. Always the same.

Ah well.

Yay! I'm excited!

It's DD2's first Christmas this year, I know that she's probably not going to give a shit but I can't wait!

I am going to sit and try and remember what I've bought...I may be a while

That's lovely, Robin.

Peanuts

Don't even bother, it's not worth it ! Unless of course you realise you have bought several of the same thing !

Do you know what ? I am beyond excited.

I love the build up to Christmas as much as the rest of it. I can't wait to see people's faces as they open parcels, but most of all I just love spending time with the people I love........

It's nice to forget 'normal' life for a couple of days.

I keep thinking that I've wrapped all of my presents [unusually organised emoticon] and then out of nowhere another one, that I've forgotten about, turns up and it keeps happening!

DH hasn't even done his Christmas shopping yet. He's going on Friday - with a friend
What's the betting that they'll end up in the pub?

Me too! I love looking at all the lights that people have put up and going, "ooh pretty" and judging who has the best Christmas trees in windows

Oh, I expect they'll end up there.....and then maybe have a mad dash Christmas Eve because he 'couldn't find' what he was looking for ?

DH has always done his shopping Christmas Eve. We get out and about early, as we do other things too, it has always worked for us !

Probably because he only has to buy my present, I am the headless chicken running around getting everyone else's beforehand !

I read a useless stat. today, apparently women spend 38 days planning Christmas. I bet they don't. I bet it's more like 38 weeks.

Oh, the lights....I love driving about at night nosing looking at people's lights !

Runs in >

Have calmed down now
I may have to buy DM another pair of slippers tho as think the ones I've bought are wrong! Then NO MORE!

I could do with some magically appearing presents robin

You tell yourself that if it makes you feel better, Peanuts.

NO MORE !

Yeah, right.

Squeeeee check out the new thread...my first

OOOH !
