You'll be fine. You are already more organised than over 50% of the population, who haven't started at all.
Make a list of people you have to buy for. Then add all the gifts you have already got.
If you are stuck on what to buy anyone, give us a shout, we LOVE shopping with other peoples money:rotfl:
Seriously, we are full of ideas and would love to help.:snow_grin
Thank yousome of the ideas I've got off this board have been fab. I'm just trying to remind myself that I don't need to use them all this year! Haha

Av*n do a Planet Spa chocolate truffle body souffle that is very milk chocolatey. I bought it to go with the Original Source choc & mint shower gel. Sadly for me, I found that I didn't like smelling chocolate first thing in the morning as much as I thought I would, but if it is your thing, go for it!Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

to the concerned mummy of a thumb sucker.. youngest dd was/is a massive thumb sucker, we tried everything! last year we went to see an amazing santa at a local garden centre & dd sat on his knee with her thumb in her mouth, the santa had a chat with her about how sucking your thumb can ruin your teeth etc, and quietly asked her to do him a big grown up job, and when she turned 5 would she only suck her thumb at bedtime. She has remebered, and weve mentioned it occassionaly during the year, anyways, she turned 5 last month and sure as anything, she now only sucks her thumb at bedtimes! Im so hoping the same santa will be there this year, because his kind nature, and concern have saved us all the hard work! her teeth & speech are absoloutly fine, and dh still sucks his thumb in his sleep if he is stressed or upset about something, hes a big strapping 39 y/o man, but old habits die hard! try not to worry too much, i still think there are much much worse habits out there!It's not about getting what you want, It's about wanting what you get.0

am sure somebody will have a great idea about getting him to stop
edit, actually - as he's almost 4, how about a star chart each time he notices and stops? or you have a key word you use when he starts to help him stop (he probably doesnt realise hes doing it) and each time he stops he gets a sticker, leading to a treat?
Now I think of it Blake only does it when he is tired too! Sure fire sign hes about to fall asleep, thumb in mouth and blankie in handhe doesnt actually need these things throughout the day, just bedtime so suppose I should stop worrying about it.
ETA- pinknfluffy28 How sweet of Santa to help you with that! And thank you to everyone else for the comments, Im not at all bothered about it nowGood enough club member number 140 -

Left the kids with hubby and sneaked out for an afternoons shopping with my mum
Dobbies has got their Christmas stuff out now - most of it's a bit expensive but I like to lookI did pick up a few sweets and things to put away.
Also spotted these hamper boxes.
I got one of the Purple ones myself for £2.50 (making a Scottish themed hamper for FIL) but and the bigger ones with the lid are £3.50 which I didn't think was too bad a price as they are a good size
Also had a look in BHS, but I'm not buying from there when I know they will knock their prices down in a few weeks :rotfl:
At Thorntons they had their 'Limited Edition' Christmas chocs half price at £5...or 5 for £20, so we went for the 5 and split them, I've got 3 for the teachers gifts and my mum took the other 2 - I certainly don't mind paying £4 for themCross Stitch Cafe member No. 32012 170-194 2013 195-207.Hello Kitty ballerina 208.AVA 209.OLIVIA 210.ELLA 211.CARLA 212.LOUISE 213.CHARLEY 214.Mother & Child 215.Stop Faffing Completed 2014 216.Stitchers Sampler. 217.Let Them Be Small 218.Keep Calm 219.

Oh - does anyone have pictures of Elizabeth Shaw mints that they have decorated please? I'm looking for inspiration
I tried googling yesterday but couldn't find many images. I picked up a box today to make a start (half price Mr T's) but ideally I'm looking for the milk choc ones.Cross Stitch Cafe member No. 32012 170-194 2013 195-207.Hello Kitty ballerina 208.AVA 209.OLIVIA 210.ELLA 211.CARLA 212.LOUISE 213.CHARLEY 214.Mother & Child 215.Stop Faffing Completed 2014 216.Stitchers Sampler. 217.Let Them Be Small 218.Keep Calm 219.

I can't find the other one, but it was a square christmas card that was about 1cm deep. Inside they had stuck 4 mints.
Hope that makes sense.I will try and find the picture.0
