I have started my Xmas shopping!

I know that by most of the organised members of this forum I am about 10 months late but I have for the first time started my shopping early.

I have bought 4 pressies so far. A robot figure half price for grandson aged 6, a disney printing set for half price for grandaughter aged 3, a silver celtic pendant for step daughter aged 18 and a sterling silver brooch for my Mum which was half price less 20% further reduction as was the celtic pendant.

The first two were from a clearance warehouse selling Woolies stuff and the jewellery was from Past Times.

I know I have a long way to go but I also picked up a couple of emergency kids pressies for £2 at the warehouse sale, so I will be prepared for last minute gifts when someone I forgot buys for my DD.

So 4 down about 20 to go but I have made a start.

    I'm not boasting honest but I buy pressies throughout the year and when I went into my pressie cupboard yesterday I found I have all the extended families pressies already and have a lot for my grown up children and partners! How happy am I??:j

    Well done, I have done shopping all year but I've got to say there are some real bargains about at the moment so now is a good time to start for anyone.
