I have done NO shopping yet.

[namechangerbat]

Any one else?

I need to buy for DP

DD1 (5)

DD2 (1)

2 nieces age 3 & 5

3 nephews 2 and 5

And some little odd bits for parents etc

Shit.

SHUT UP! You've done NONE? At all? NONE!

You've timed it just right, there's a sale in every shop .

Not a thing.

I still have my mum, my bro and half my goddaughter but all the rest is done. Haven't done food yet though. it's gonna be hectic

I have one day to go any where with out the 5 year old... Oh my. I think I'm having palpitations.

Although orienteerer may have found your silver lining......

I'm having palpitations for you!

ok, this will be fine if you can be a little bit organised over the next 24 hours. Firstly, do you have budgets sorted and ideas for any of them?

Amazon are still saying delivery intime for Christmas, can you get an order placed today if you can get any gifts from them? Next, do you have time without DCs tomorrow/Monday you can go shopping? If you know what you want and where from, you could just hit each shop, get it and get back in a couple of hours.

But thank you, you're making me feel a lot better, I just need to get something for DS's key worker at nursery. Feeling a lot more organised!

I am going on a mad dash on thurs late night to do mine into a probably over crowded city centre

welcome to my club :o

Plus, I have nooo money. Which is poo.
What things should I be getting for nieces and nephews that is under the £5 agreed limit that was set

No I haven't either 10 nieces/ nephews, 4 brothers, 4 SILs, mum, dad, something for ExH from kids, oh and my own 2 kids. Luckily most of the children want money this year. So that's fairly easy. I know what my own 2 would like, so it's just getting on with it

You are doooooomed.

I'm not worried but I have next week off and babysitters to watch the kids whilst I pop out.

I fly by the seat of my pants always when it comes to gift buying, birthdays or Christmas

You wouldn't believe how organised I am about most other things though.

I feel sooo much better reading that I've bought for dc's, and that's it. No wrapping paper, no cards, and nothing for anyone else. I thought I was bad.

Forgot, I do have goose fat, so I've started food shopping

I sometimes think it's a form of denial with me LOL

ok, for the 2year old DN - Mr Potato Head (available in Tescos)

for the 3 year old DN - Play-Doh activity set (have them in Tescos too)

for the 5 year olds DN- Crayolo kit, Sainsburys have paint a bug ones and paint a pony ones, they were about a fiver.

For parents, go to your nearest deli, buy jam and chutneys.

Now, what's your budgets for DP and your DDs?

Dd (5) wants roller blades and a new bike

Dd (1) wants for nothing and would be happy with a box wrapped up

No idea for DP

did I mention I'm pregnant and stressed and a fucking emotional mess?

Snap! Haven't done a thing either. Might force myself to do some tomorrow.

I'm on amazon on my phone right now.

I still haven't!

I did all on line from my sick bed yesterday afternoon. All being delivered on Tuesday. Haven't written or got any Christmas cards and won't send any this year. Have also got a Christmas tree being delivered tomorrow.

Really can't understand why anyone would actually want to visit shops

I am impressed,I could almost pay homage to folk who leave it this late.

Do it all online order tonight will be here next week. Amazon is your friend !

I've got to buy the fresh/dairy/veg

I've got to marzipan and ice the cake

My tree is coming tomorrow

DCs are finished school now (so chaos reigns)

I saw mini candy canes in Waitrose yesterday and thought "No. I'll leave it, I want red and white not pink and white".
Could not find any mini canes at all.

Will have a look in the Range or Sainsbo.
