  • Nearly there!

    Got to wrap all my presents, got to post a couple of packages and a few more cards.

    Got to buy my brother & sister-in-law a present on line (a World Vision thingy) and finally........get some grub in.

    So, not too bad really.

  • I've still got a few prezzies to buy but nearly done now. Then I'll have to wrap them up and I've got cards to write, urgh!

    No xmas tree up at home yet as we can't find anywhere to put it! Got one at work though with loads of decorations so it looks like a proper santas grotto :)

    Tree went up last night. Have got all cards (bought last jan in sale!) just have to get one or two more pressies.

    Waiting on a nectar voucher and then I can hit the shops for those last few pressies.

    All done, tree up, cards written and sent. Instead of buying some of my family presents this year, my daughter is painting some mugs and plates (she's 7). She has made cards instead of buying Nan/Grandad ones etc. Christmas cards are leftovers from last year. Then, to spoil things, have ordered turkey/veg from M&S!!!!! Time is also important!

    But done quite well actually, as saved a fortune by buying in advance rather than last minute panic.

    well, we did put up the tree, but as we were moving it was easier just to put it straight into the lounge and the children did a fab job of decorating it.

    Seriously through, haven't written out a single card, or bought a single present :eek: and goodness knows where all the wrapping stuff is :eek:

    Will stay off here tonight, otherwise haven't got a hope of getting the cards done - and I have tonnes to send overseas too (do they do Happy New Year cards instead ??)
