I've only got some of dd's, I ended up using some of them for her birthday last week.
I've got 20 nieces and nephews and 7 great nieces and nephews.
Think I'll be stuffing money in cards this year.
Don't have a clue what to get DH

I've ordered a load of hampers, but that's not real Christmas shopping, so no , not started yet . Hope to do it next weekend ?

Greenbutterlfy566 · 09/12/2019 21:28

Do you have kids?

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 09/12/2019 21:31

I have a list and plans in place. I have bought a book each from ds to grandparents and aunts and uncles, but that's all... Christmas shopping planned for Friday and dh birthday Sunday.

Louise91417 · 09/12/2019 21:31

Yip, i'll get sorted on 23rdHmm

micromoomin · 09/12/2019 21:33

Haven't done any! I tend to be a Christmas Eve shopper. I know what I'm getting DH and DDs but haven't got around to buying/ordering yet! There's plenty of time, no rush.

AndAnon · 09/12/2019 21:34

No. I’ve been in hospital unexpectedly for what feels like forever. Ordered a couple of bits online but have the bulk to do.

elQuintoConyo · 09/12/2019 21:34

I've gathered bits from here and there, waited for sales, picked up stocking fillers.

I have two or three bits left to get and I'm all done, won't take more than an hour.

Haven't posted anything yet though - looked like a 1 hour+ queue in the post office this afternoon Confused so I'll go in the morning. I hope it all gets there in time!

thistimelastweek · 09/12/2019 21:36

I've bought loads of wine and some pigs in blankets. Otherwise? Nada

patchworkpatty · 09/12/2019 21:40

No, not a thing. 7 kids, (15-24) DH, DM, DSD, DB x 2 DSIL and DN ... plus best mate ... no hurry . Christmas Eve shopper here, don't like to peak too early or it doesn't feel like Christmas.

Tree goes up Sunday before - THEN I am in the mood...

Witchofthenorth · 09/12/2019 21:45

Haven't done a thing. Haven't even got my decorations up much to the disgust of the DCs

CryHavoc · 09/12/2019 21:55

Me. I've bought a book for my daughter, and that's it. There are three weeks to go and I have amazon prime.

rainbowlou · 09/12/2019 21:58

No I’ve not started yet either Blush

mammmamia · 09/12/2019 22:06

GOt a couple of stocking fillers but I never start until this week. I’m usually too busy at work to think about it until now.

tmh88 · 09/12/2019 22:07

I’ve sorted kids presents, not done anyone else. Doesn’t feel like it’s Christmas time this year for some reason.

wishing4sun · 09/12/2019 22:10

Nope not a thing, no decorations up no plans to do either. So busy with work and a run of bad luck with decorating disasters and DS car having unexpected repairs his pt job cutting his hours and money seemingly vanishing as soon as it appears. Maybe next week.

Greenbutterlfy566 · 10/12/2019 09:13

How do you it I’m all in with such little time left?

RuffleCrow · 10/12/2019 09:16

It's not just you. I have bought a tree and some decs but no actual presents. Trip to the big smoke coming up and i'm afraid to run out of money and not be able to get home with the dcs so i'm waiting til after that (sun) for the xmas splurge.

Xiaoxiong · 10/12/2019 09:20

Not a thing. We have been absolutely manic with entertaining and going to school things and then our neighbour has been in hospital so we've had their little boy to stay for the whole weekend when I would otherwise have been Christmas shopping. We fly out to see family on Friday morning so Thursday is just going to be a panic gallop round the shops!

WooMaWang · 10/12/2019 09:25

🙋🏻‍♀️ me!

I've done absolutely nothing at all. I'll get a bit more organised at the weekend, I think.

We're moving a week today, so we need to go and buy a tree (and keep it wrapped up in the garden until we move). Buying a tree after 17 December will be tricky. There's no point putting one up before we move though.

I'm not in the least bit worried about presents or anything. I'll just order stuff online then make a list and go and buy everything else I need early on a weekday morning. It'll all be fine.

I'm pretty laid back about it all really.

HoneyBee03 · 10/12/2019 10:03

I have finished the presents for DS, but I've got the rest of the family and DH still to buy for. I'm struggling to face it! I'm also waiting for pay day which is a few days before Christmas.

norfolkforever · 10/12/2019 13:48

amazoned everything!

job done.

i hate traipsing round the shops!

Caspianberg · 10/12/2019 13:58

Not yet. Put the tree up last Sunday, will probably start shopping next weekend.
Hardly buy any here though. A gift each and stocking fillings
