YIPPPPPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!:beer:

I've finished all shopping.:D

My husband has one more thing to get but he promised he would get it this weekend.:T

So we plan to wrap all weekend - got that cheap 2m roll from asda @14p each, 14p I hear you say, YES, 14p each, that's 28p for 4m (I'm so good at maths aren't I!), only wanted cheap wrap as all presents are going into gift bags or cheap 99p santa sacks if it's for a family with kids, so much easier to carry around and lug in and out of the car at christmas time.

Then I will feel so organised and will get on with the crafts and stuff...going to my chrsitmas crop on saturday too - can't wait for that.

Was going to settle down with Christmas with the cranks this afternoon and then I went and cracked my toothe in half so I had to go to the emergency dentist instead (that's karma for watching christmas films too early probably), I have to a cleft palette made or have a gap (BOO HOO) not looking forward to it at all. Have a lovely evening all.xxx

Gosh, wrapping this weekend? There's still four weeks to go, youknow, don't end up with a big gap and nothing christmassy to do! LOL. I think I've got about half of mine, maybe a bit more.

I've seen a snippet of the coca cola advert!!! All it showed was the truck driving past the trees and jingle bells jingling! When I saw it I was so excited and now my mum thinks I'm off my trolley cos I got excited...but I knew you guys would understand!

sarahs999 - that's the point - we want all the wrapping done asap so we have nothing to do up until christmas - then we can be proper lazy and have more family time, lie around eating(LOL) - do more crafts, watch christmassy films,etc;

inkedkitten - I seen the advert too.

The other song I like is the one that goes 'it's beginning to look a lot like christmas...' it 's on an advert too
