Because ours is vast

lord knows how long it will take to unwrap - its taken 3 months to buy it all!

pretty obscene tbh (although I persuade myself that on a per child basis it isn't too bad).

We haven't even started wrapping it yet.

NotanOtter · 21/12/2008 23:02

Oh dear!!!

We are wrapped and sorted - we do it all at work which is very handy as they are away from dcs

I am stressing over the thought of 5.5 stockings!

Oh bugger! I was meant to be wrapping this evening.

And I don't even have a large family. I just opened the thread out of interest.

Now there's a wasted evening... Bloody MN

Am I the only person who thought this was about haemorrhoids brought on by multiple pregnancies?

mod!! lol at that!

We are all wrapped with the exception of an ipod which will have some music put on it if DH gets his act together. Also have a wooden trike to assemble for DD3.

I think it's vast without being obscene

Prtty vast, dh says attic full but I know its really full of his work stuff crap

dh rapped all the kids stff (whilst I rocked bby as per), I have rellies stuff to do.

psychohohohoho · 22/12/2008 00:02

well....I have jst spent about 6hrs going thru everything and counting what each has, and found that DD1 and DD2 need more.

I don;t go in budget, I go on the amount.....ie, 5 gifts each under the tree, 10 in santa sacks, 20 in stockings.

the older two girls are sadly lacking in main presents.......I need to shop.

we will look like a toy shop come xmas morning

PeachyBidsYouNadoligLlawen · 22/12/2008 00:04

that's how we do it Psycho- 6 under tree, 1 each from dh and I (2 this year as we both wanted to give the wii fit LOL) etc etc

Mind we don't look like a toyshop, or if we do its a very sexist anti-femal one LOL
