I was doing so well (well I’d overspent but I stopped buying almost a month ago) - until I spotted…..

Fluffy Stitch crocs for my DD who’s 18 but still loves anything to do with Stitch.

In my defence I did get a discount from Amazon and she will love them!

@MrsWhites The twitch got me today. My DD has gone on and on about the cookeez bake oven and she did her list at the start of December. She said to her friend on the way home from school today I hope I get the cookeez bake oven, I said but you didn't put it on your list she looked sad and said I wish I did!

I can't wait to see her face Christmas morning as she won't be expecting it. I think this will be the last year she believes so wanted to make it extra special. I hope your dd loves the crocs 😁

I almost had a twitch within a twitch situation today. Went to Smyths this morning to pick up a click and collect order for my nephew that I twitched on yesterday. As soon as I walked in I spotted a huge Pikachu squishmallow. I waivered for a second then made myself leave before I spent £40 on another cuddly toy 😂

My boys both came home from school and added Hot Wheels to their lists. I did get them a garage thing to share as I had an amazon voucher but then I have a couple of their smaller bits I had bought to charity as felt it pushed them over the edge and I know if they get too much they get overwhelmed. I now want to look at that little oven someone mentioned now though 😂

ilovetea14 · 19/12/2023 21:58

@Derb This is it I hope the photo works. It's called cookeez makery oven playset. She hasn't stopped talking about it. I'm so excited

Not so much the twitch, but I did buy my DD a bath bomb I saw on Wowcher this morning.

Last night I worked out I’d spent considerably more on my other DDs this year. Usually I don’t care as long as the piles are equal but this DDs pile just feels like it’s missing out although numbers are fairly even. The bath bomb is something my DH wanted me to get her months ago but I couldn’t justify the price for something that’s a novelty, seeing the deal first thing this morning felt like it was meant to be.

Had a massive twitch and ordered both teen children latest Apple 15 phone! 🙈🙈🙈 what was I drinking thinking? 🙄🤪

I twitched today, only mildly though, I saw a board game I thought might be fun to play over Christmas so I went for it. No more I promise!

TokyoSushi · 20/12/2023 07:17

Just an electric toothbrush here, not too bad!

imnotthatkindofmum · 20/12/2023 08:30

Twitched on some cons for my eldest. She's so basic with her requests, fluffy blanket, nice pillow and some paper feel screen covers for digital art. I just felt so cheap! She wears con style shoes but never buys actually cons. I think she'll be pleased but I'm sure it's mainly to appease my twitching.

Fight the twitch, fight the twitch, all my twitch presents over the years have been completely not needed. I’ve stopped doing it now.

Toomanysquishmallows · 20/12/2023 16:36

ive had the twitch terribly .

DingDongMerrilyOnHi · 20/12/2023 17:16

The twitch got me yesterday, a Tennis bracelet for middle DD and Elf glow highlighter for youngest…

in defence while reflecting I realised middle DD didn’t really have any main presents she had asked for, nice stuff but all surprises and heard her taking to her sisters saying she was really excited to see if she would find the bracelet under the tree so mum guilt set in!

Now I’m thinking I have twitched for two but not the 3rd which is making me twitchy in itself!! 😅

MrsWhites · 21/12/2023 21:29

It’s the worst when you start overthinking whether one child has more presents to open etc even though you’ve spent similar amounts…I have one who is 18 and one who is 9 so I’ve given up trying to match piles now…youngests will always look bigger until he’s all grown up too 😭
