every year I tell myself I’m not going over budget, once I’m finish3d that’s it…

I did better than last year
only impulse brought a jellycat bunny dd kept showing me and I finally found one in stock
an adidas tahirt for DP in jd sports which was only £10
a Nike tshirt for DS because he loves a striped tshirt and been looking for a while for a nice one and low and behold found one on Zalando, heavily reduced.
sabrina carpenter perfume for dd as I had a Superdrug discount voucher which was burning a whole in my pocket.

what made you twitch 😜

Yesterday bargain 2 lots kids pyjamas from M&s, one for DD one DN last week or so £10 gemstone bracelets from Carrie Elsbeth, but that helped me out with a friend I wasn't expecting to be seeing....today the new book about Elvis by his daughter and granddaughter for DD to give me to go with whatever craft thing she's concocted.

Just looked at Carrie Elspeth bracelets. They’re lovely. Where did you get them for ten pounds from?

Scout2016 · 14/12/2024 19:15

@Fireworknight they had a few days of selling the gemstone ones for £10. It was posted on the bargains thread, which both very useful and rather dangerous to follow. I get emails now about offers so maybe sign up to the mailing list?

@Wiselass oh don't be an arse! I think you can decipher what the OP meant

Hardly being an arse. It doesn't make any sense.

You're definitely being an arse. Everyone knows what the OP means.

Definitely not being an arse. English isn't my first language. It doesn't make any sense to me.

What a crock of shit 😆

LivingInaBuiltSite · 14/12/2024 20:20

Wrapped everything today, had thought I was done.

But DS2’s pile looked less than the other two, so twitched a little on Amazon:
book, tshirt and chocolates for DS2
Nutcracker ornament for DD (I’ve got tickets for us to go and see it in Jan)
Dog keyring and lime pickle for DH!

Then remembered that I’ve got DS2 his main present that’s a large puzzle board thing still downstairs so his pile will be plenty big enough, oh well.

may well twitch again during the week but really I am very nearly done.

CandiedPrincess · 14/12/2024 20:21

Oh sorry, with English not being your first language and your understanding being so bad @Wiselass you won't know what that phrase means.

ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS · 14/12/2024 20:24

Yes!

A squishmellow
Bingo set
fart machine

Im currently trying to stop myself buying a plush toy online that I’ve decided my DD needs 😬

You are correct.

MrsMontyD · 15/12/2024 07:25

I've twitched and bought a couple more things for DH, judging by some of the parcels he's had delivered I think he's making a big effort this year and I don't seem to have much but him. It's been the opposite several years so I don't know why I'm concerned.

I twitched a smart speaker for the shower and a sweatshirt.

TeamPolin · 15/12/2024 11:19

Minor twitches here. Some books for DS. Can live with that. Otherwise am holding fast.

thehousewiththesagegreensofa · 15/12/2024 15:12

Whilst I was doing main shopping today, I twitched on some unnecessary bits in MenKind which I know will bring much happiness even if they are broken by New Year's Day!

itsgettingweird · 15/12/2024 15:22

I wouldn't say I've twitched.

I'd ordered and/or brought everything my siblings and dad asked for (or rather something from their suggestions).

Then there's just Ds (20) who didn't want anything really.

So I've just been picking up stuff as I go along.

He recently got a car so loads of car stuff and a boot mat I designed for him! (He's a wheelchair user and it goes over the bumper to protect it as we get it in and out) never planned on this so guess that was an impulse!

Food stuff

Training stuff as he's a swimmer (elite level so trains a LOT!)

Guinness book of records as my late mum always brought him it!

Then today discovered uno extreme in Sainburys when in went for cleaning stuff - and we have every Uno going to that was an impulse 😂

Actually most of everything I've brought him has been an impulse buy because I haven't a clue what I was getting him until I saw it (or randomly decided it would be useful!)

I'm actually pretty sure come Christmas Day most of it is going to end up being a surprise to me as I wrapped up everything I'd brought a few weeks ago. Until the latest lot 🫣😂

Dollybantree · 15/12/2024 15:26

A pair of sold out trainers for ds that then became available at an online store I've never heard of (the Edit LDN) which I'm pretty sure aren't going to turn up on time as I ordered them two weeks ago and any attempts at contacting them have been ignored 🙄

LivingInaBuiltSite · 15/12/2024 17:44

A silly gift of a small pink fiat car from Etsy as DD (13) jokingly asked for a pink fiat 500 in her stocking. She’ll find it funny anyway.

also, some marzipan fruit things for DH while getting food tech stuff with DD.

the socks for DH and DD with the DDOdog on arrived today too. So a few more bits to wrap tomorrow night.
