No not at all. I actually have gifts for next year.:o

Will have to look in Wilko for that book

I actually hate wrapping presents. I always end up with backache.
I have tried sitting at the kitchen table, on the floor on my bed, but I still get it.:( I try to do a couple at a time but because I have everything out I just keep going. I live in a townhouse, so bringing things down to wrap means 2 flights of stairs down and then 2 flights up again.:(

thats what im worried about, once i start, will i have the willpower to stop? ive always done it all in one go before, but it usually takes 5-6 hrs and by end of it im so bored, tired and achy the presents look a right mess!! so hopefully my "they will look beautiful" plan will encourage me to stop after a couple! I usually find sitting on the floor, with the coffee table the easiest on the old back, that way i can lean against the sofa and dont actually have to do too much bending over! :rudolf:

I hate wrapping too! This year I made hubby help. I didn't spend any time making things pretty or anything - my mission was get it done and out the way!
Next year I fully intend on taking more care and time over it all but im already feeling hurty with SPD and my broken toe/foot bone (thinking now it's day 4 I should go to A&E!!) I am so glad we wrapped everything early, I cant imagine finding time with a new baby to spend hours doing it.
This is one of the reasons why I like hampers so much lol
