All done!

Woohooo! I have just purchased the final Christmas present off my list :j
Just waiting for it and one other item to be delivered, then I can have a monster wrapping session.
Who else has it all done?

    i have finished for three people out of the ten on my list, and i'm pretty darn pleased with my little self!
  • Congrats newleaf!

    I'm not finished but I'm nearly there.
    I've got ideas for those I haven't bought for, it's just a case of using my time wisely to go out and shop when I can in between other day to day stuff.
    I've got a week off work aty the end of November so I'm hoping to be doing most of my wrapping then.
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

    One person to buy for that I know what I'm getting, two that I'm not sure about but have ideas for, and a few preserving jars to get for hampers, and I'm done bar the wrapping - and hopefully within the next week or so.

    I'm waiting for a parcel from Amazon which is due to be sent out next week and then I will be finished. Nothing wrapped yet though. I hate wrapping with a vengeance but the cats think it's the best fun in the world.

    Well done, nearly all done for my boys, can't buy his boots yet as 28 day return policy and might be too small/big all done for my neice and nephew aswell and they are all wrapped and hidden in a friends house :) She has cats so had to send them wrapped so they don't get hairy.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I am all done except from 3 small presents to add to bigger ones. Ive finished all the shopping for DS's birthday in December too. The amount of bags sitting at the top of my stairs is mad! I want to wrap them up soon but worried they will get ripped and bashed in the weeks before christmas.

    Feel like i have to be this organised with DS's birthday just before christmas and his parties to plan too!

  • I'll hopefully be buying the last of them tomorrow (well apart form DH who I'll buy for from Amazon later on). I'm awaiting the delivery of some vouchers and I got my bookpeople order today so I'm feeling very organised right now. Bet I've forgotten someone :rolleyes:
