Only 2 weeks left people!!! How's everyone doing??? We've just got to finish off our cards and I need to buy my present for DH and he needs to order his for me and do the food shopping next week.. but apart from that everything's done!! What about everyone else?

not at all!

I don have kids or anything like that but I have to visit family and they all breed like rabbits - Ive got to quite resent it - 12 of them to buy for this year, although im keeping it to £10 a head - cant do more.

Almost there! Pressie for OH and wrapping everything (will start tonight).

Tesco are delivering next Thursday which leaves me Friday at 5am run *if* they miss anything major off (I cannot face Tescos right now!).

Need to post off my friends pressies and stuff to her - if only I can remember where I hid them ................

All finished then!

I've finished, brought and wrapped all of my presents :j

ETA: Don't have to buy food etc, as i live at home with my parents so Mum gets all that.

"Uurrrrrghhh" - that's the fat man here, emptying his sack...... of presents that he has bought.

Still trying to think of that special one for the OH - anybody got any great ideas for something unusual/romantic/dfw-style?

Tree went up today, I'm going to start wrapping presents tonight, have done most of the shopping, just need to get a couple of little bits for girls as have got £15 left of their budget.

Food shop to do, not sure when though yet!

Presents are done, drinks are done, just half the food to get now Nearer the time fresh stuff (very tempted to do a very early run to miss the crowds :eek:)

Same here! All wrapped and on display!!!

And give my mam £25 towards xmas in her card from savings stamps I had collected over the last few months!

Completely done here..all presents wrapped all cards delivered and no food shopping to do...I have 5 grown up kids all left home and I'm sick of cooking christmas dinners...so put my foot down and about 3 months ago told them I wasn't doing it this year...result..my 2 daughters are doing it between them...they know about my debt situation so I will be at work on christmas day until about 3pm nip home pick the pressies and oh up and go around for dinner...we'll stay a couple of hours then hubby will go to work and I'll stay there a couple of hours...I offered to pay towards the food and they've flatly refused..so am quite looking forward to chritmas:D

but you can do less and make the budget £5 per person and having fun looking for pressies that much, 3 for 2 at boots have loads as does Woolies, that will half your outgoings and will feel less resentful xxx
