I've just been today (I'm in Oz) for a mammoth shop....got DD1's main present today with DH"s help...and got her and DD2's extra "surprises"....ordered DD2's main pressies yesterday from Toys R Us...so that's mostly everything for them!

I still need to get both of them new PJ's which go in their Christmas Eve bags...along with a Christmas mug each, some sweets and a small game or toy...

Also need to get wrapping paper and more stocking fillers.

I feel so relieved! I've had notification that all the things I got online have been dispatched...or packed for dispatch...I might just send DH for their PJ's and Christmas Sweets along with the wrapping paper!

Oh and I've decided to do the main food shop on Christmas Eve! I just haven't time before then and last year, having seen how UN crowded the shops are here in Oz, it's worth it!

PJs for DD and DS1, racing car thingy for DS1 and paw patrol something or other for DS2 and the food shop.

Fresh food.

I did manage to buy an extra present for ds yesterday so need to avoid shops selling things he may like it seems Blush

bibbitybobbityyhat · 12/12/2016 07:02

Everything except for ds's main present. So that's about 20 gifts, stocking fillers, the tree and all the food (we are hosting). Might start today Grin.

Izzy82 · 12/12/2016 19:16

Nothing! Woo woo!
Even ordered the online food shop

MrsDilligaf · 12/12/2016 19:29

Im nearly there!!

Just need a couple of bits for DH's stocking - Shave gel, silly christmas pants and a babycham gift set from Tesco.

Need to pick up one or two little things for DD but as she's 10 months she's not getting much.

Food shopping is done, booked for delivery on 22nd.

I'm hoping to get a big chunk of the rest of the wrapping done tonight. I'm giving myself 2 hours to go bananas with it and then I'm heading to bed with a horlicks (I know how to live Xmas Wink

All presents bought. Have ordered the turkey and trimmings to collect from M&S, and have ordered a Tesco shop for the 23rd. Just need to wrap all the damn presents and send cards

DC are finished. Dh - finished. Work colleagues - finished. Nursery - finished. Nieces and nephews - finished..

Just have to finish my parents and brother but have made a start. Put the tree up today. Not sure what we are doing for Christmas day but we always just do the normal weekly shop with the few extras. I wait outside aldi the 23rd or so at opening time and it is fine.

dementedma · 12/12/2016 20:52

Gift for sis and one more for dd1 to balance things out.
Stocking bits for dh. Then all done.

Babydontcry · 12/12/2016 21:52

Sweets for dss, make up for dad. Have got online shopping slots with Asda and tesco on 20th so going to finalise my food and drinks orders on the 18th. Everything else bought and wrapped.

PumpkinPie2016 · 12/12/2016 22:19

Nearly everything still left to buy oops! I have all of DS presents but none for family members yet! Tree isn't up and food shop not done either Xmas Blush

I'm a teacher and finish work for the holidays on Fri so I will do it at weekend and Mon next week - it'll be fine (I hope!)

I'm normally more organised but work has been totally hectic this term hence I've done virtually nothing.

We've done lights switch on and Santa visit though plus saw DS in the nativity todayXmas Grin

Equimum · 13/12/2016 08:26

I still need a book voucher for my mum, some posh chocs for DH and 8 have an amazon order that is taking for ever to be dispatched. Other than that, it's just a few bits of food......and most of the main stuff is coming from M&S!

I need to do the food order properly (I've checked out online with a small shop but it's only the usual stuff to meet minimum value... still better than most years as usually I just check out with a few bottles of spirits Xmas Grin)

I have to check sizes of a few things I've bought, and I have to make some returns. I've not quite finished working out what clothes the DCs need, and I also need to collect DD's leotard/shorts that I did by click and collect.

There's also one thing I ordered ages ago and I'm not sure if it's going to be back in stock before Christmas. Not a problem if not I just don't like the not knowing!

Cagliostro · 14/12/2016 00:40

Could be make up for dad but going by my usual autocorrect issues it was probably meant to be DSD? :o

Haudyerwheesht · 14/12/2016 10:13

Cookies or a sweetie for Xmas eve
Selection boxes for DC
Sweets for dh
