As in you've decided what you're getting people but you just need to buy it?

Hi SF,

Thank you for posting on my thread. It sounded like you had a fab holiday - when we were away I was ready to stay a few more weeks :rotfl: But once i'm in the mindset of coming home i am fine.

Regarding Christmas i would estimate i am over half way there - although i usually end up running round on behalf of my Mr.

I don't have many people to buy for though - i have 4 people to purchase gifts for and i've got gift bag surprises for 3 of them - i tend to pick up bargains throughout the year and put them in their individual gift bag - i've done really well this year so they will have done well to - they get about 10 - 15 'small' gifts in them = much fun unwrapping on the day and i've got things like a nail art set from a well known shop reduced from £10 to £1 - all the gifts in the bag are like this - reduced down to £1 or £2 so they do get things worth alot more. Their other gifts will be to take them shopping into 1 shop (will have sale on before xmas ) and they will be able to choose 1 item each so they will definitely have something they want too

But i've not got much for my mum at the moment. I'll have to get my thinking cap on

If i'm not back before then i hope and am sure monday will go well and before you know it it'll be half term

Thanks for stopping by DFW - it's nice to see you back I'll have a ponder about christmas presents, should start them sooner rather than later I suppose.

Last day of the hols I've been into town today and bought some new work trousers so I'll look smart tomorrow :rotfl: also bought some bits and bobs at b0ots, spend more than I intended but it's stuff that will last and was needed. I just bought it all in one go rather than as and when.

Tea tonight is going to be mince/gravy/peas/carrots in a giant yorkshire pud followed by hm lemon cake nice and healthy I need to do a bit more school work before the evening and I've got some blogging stuff to do too. Then, early night as it's an early start tomorrow! Probably going to be a bit of a shock....

Right, best get on!

Well the first day back has gone okay.

I've had a pretty rubbish event happen today which has made me feel tearful and unhappy this evening. Mainly my own stupid fault but I'm really upset about it. Only managed a bit of porridge for tea as I can't face anything else. Hopefully I'll be able to get it sorted tomorrow but who knows.

Here's to the rest of September going more smoothly than today. At least it's been a NSD, I suppose.

Oh SF, really sorry to hear about your day.

Try and practice some mindfulness to reduce the churning round your head and overthinking of the situation.

I hope you sleep tonight.

Remember, it's so much worse in your head than in real life.

Sorry you've had a rubbish day. Hope tomorrow is much more positive.

Wish.
