What have you twitched on?

For me, it's been a hairdryer, a bed of nails pillow and some AirPods

Didn't plan for any of them but the twitch gets me every single year

You?

what is twitched

I was just about to ask the same question.

RagzRebooted · 23/12/2022 21:24

A folding camping stove/fire pit/grill thing for DS2 after working out that he had slightly less than the other 2 and needed an extra present. Amazon assure me it will arrive tomorrow. Not the end of the world if not.

Waterproof socks 🤔😳

DH swears by his for camping, great to wear in the evenings if you forget slippers.

chosenone · 23/12/2022 21:34

I literally felt the twitch overtake me on payday 🤷‍♀️🙈 jamas for the kids plus hot water bottle and golf socks and earphones for DH!

Another bloody Nerf gun after a visit to Santa and him describing in great detail the one he wanted.

PikachusSmarterBrother · 23/12/2022 21:38

Oh, and some disco lights 😄.

RupertBare · 23/12/2022 21:47

I'm only twitched on the AirPods because DS lost his some time ago and I was resolved to not replace them as he can be quite careless

He then constantly borrows mine and that's bloody annoying now so I've caved. As it's Christmas!

I've been so good not to twitch this year, I nearly cracked earlier in Aldi with a colour reveal barbie chelsea doll reduced in Aldi. And several other items around the shops that were reduced today, clothes, gift sets, argos toy sale I've been so tempted to buy things to put away for birthdays, mothers day, easter but to be honest I can't wait to give the gifts out I've already bought and get the spare bedroom back! Oh crap I did twitch! I bought another wooden shelf character for dB from a craft stall that matched the other two I've bought. But I can justify it because they'd just brought that one out today and the lovely lady gave me a free one too as I was joking that the one I'd bought the previous day had a gammy leg and missing half a foot. She insisted I take a replacement so I got 2 for 1. I think I've justified to myself that twitch!

littlestowl · 23/12/2022 21:51

A random sausage dog squishy, extra board game and a colour change necklace for the DCs.

None of which were needed! DS announced this evening he thinks he’s getting some new Nike trainers - he isn’t and it’s too late to twitch on that one luckily!

Soubriquet · 23/12/2022 21:55

Nothing because I genuinely can’t afford to.

I have a list of items I would love to twitch on but I just can’t afford it. I’ve had to do Christmas shopping by catalogues this year and was extremely lucky to get the credit.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 23/12/2022 21:56

We twitched on the tristmas twights on the twee. 🙁

TheMousePipes · 23/12/2022 21:59

A whole Ocado shop 🤦‍♀️
I was sure we didn’t need one but then… there it was, £200 of random rood stuff. To be fair, i think I was in denial before - it all looks like we might need it!

BugsyDrakeTableScape · 23/12/2022 22:00

Earmuffs for dd1 and 2 - they asked Santa for them!

😂, I got a pair each for DH and DS (adult) they both work outside. Bloody expensive tho, gonna have to tell them both to keep their toe nails manicured tho, don't want hole in the bug toe!

IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere · 23/12/2022 22:09

I bought a set of googly eyes that you put on your fingers and a lemon clock for Dgd and two cardigans for DM.

APotatoFlewAcrossTheRoomLastNightExcuseTheMess · 23/12/2022 22:13

Laura Mercier body souffle body cream. Someone had mentioned it on here, on a thread along the lines of what's expensive but worth it,' and having used it tonight for the first time, I have to agree!

FionnulaTheCooler · 23/12/2022 22:16

A Stranger Things pop up book that I spotted when in asda.

nanodyne · 23/12/2022 22:45

A jellycat crab because DS woke up asking for his crab (no idea..) and I realised I forgot to get him a Father Christmas present.

Haven’t twitched yet!

Came very close today but didn’t..

Finished the wrapping tonight and am overall happy with what I have for everyone!

I do have to go food shopping as I missed a few bits off my list 🤦‍♀️

Jingleoverthatway · 23/12/2022 23:12

Dessert

I always buy in but this year thought I'd make it but got nervous today in case its crap and brought a back up from Waitrose

justasking111 · 23/12/2022 23:42

Twenty year old moaned a few weeks ago what happened to the Christmas stocking with chocolate bars in. Suddenly remembered and ordered one from Cadbury. He'd better be thrilled 😁😁

formulatingAresponse · 24/12/2022 00:02

Yup definitely twitched earlier today

Tops in the sale from White Stuff for DM and DF and for DS a random stuffed toy from New Look by the counter whilst queuing for something for DD.

Also bought last minute sweets from Lidl to bulk out the DC stockings

formulatingAresponse · 24/12/2022 00:04

Stuffed toy was a blue starfish

leccybill · 24/12/2022 00:06

Cluedo and a crime solving game after DD 12 loving the Traitors this week.
