What’s that thing called when you go mad and buy crap??

[Puddingypops]

It’s happening to me right now and I MUST be contained!!!

that last minute panic that everything you have bought is rubbish so you buy loads of shite to replace it and go insane!!!!!

I decided my poor 14 year old son had no fun stuff in his gift pile and have now bought 3 extra FUN gifts

STOP THIS MADNESS

I’ve just twitched on a present for the cat 😄(a Felix Christmas gift box of cat treats).

We agreed to cut down this year. DH had just freaked when he saw the piles for my DDs
i didn’t like to tell him that was only a third of them….
The Twitch keeps reoccuring
Which might be why I now have freeze dried sweets and a popcorn maker on the way…..

@tealfluff of course the cat must have a present. And at least it's easy to get something they'll like

I used to roll my eyes at MN twitching but now I have a toddler who understands christmas and presents, and my tiktok algorithm is none stop what-I'm-getting-my-2-yr-old and it is HARD!

I was quite proud of myself yesterday because rather than spending stupid money on hand printed wrapping paper (that's a whole other story) I just picked up a set of 3 rolls from next.

Then I came home and ordered 2 different lost of dark green satin ribbon on amazon to make it look pretty.

Worst bit is I bought the same ribbon in two different widths. It seemed very important last night that I do so but this morning I have no idea why!

Really trying to stop myself getting a candy floss maker.dor DS. I KNOW it will result in molten sugar all over the walls, I KNOW I won't be able to do it properly....still googling away.

@3amShopper don’t do it I got one for my son a few years ago, a really good one with amazing reviews and it nearly caught on fire

they are so so dangerous I threw it away

I twitched 10 minutes ago and I'm pleased I did. Just ordered my mum a new years bouquet from M&S to be delivered 28th. I've split her presents in to 3 this year. 1st December a wc advent calendar. Some chocolates, candles and skin care for christmas day and then these flowers to cheer her into the new year. I'm quite happy with this twitch and I'm hopeful not to twitch again. I've successfully avoided argos toy bargains and all the other bargains ramping in ny emails this week.
