How did your Xmas shopping go yesterday?

Badly I only have Mr Mooo, his stepdad and his actual dad left to buy for, and I have no clue what to get any of them!

That's what I call a good shopping trip - nothing spent :rotfl:

I find men difficult to buy for generally unless they want something specific.

Do any of them love cheese? I got a great 'Just Add Cheese' Hamper from Amazon for £25 - full of goodies and a slate board.

Or wine? - Olde Worlde half-treasure chest shape box with 4 bottles in £20 in Bhs online.

The shops weren't particularly inspirational for me this year.

You've been doing well, Moo, with all your general spending and your Christmas spending.

I have no idea what I am buying for lots of my family. I hope inspiration sparks soon!

I have more or less cancelled Christmas this year.
Not enough pennies & I so cant be bothered.

I'm trying not to go overboard this year. I don't want to spend a lot of money buying gifts for the sake of it.

I need to get cracking on some home made gifts too as extras for some friends.

Good idea on making some nice bits & bobs~& you enjoy it too which is good :j

Progress:

• Spend no money on food until at least Saturday Nowt so far, but it's only Monday!
• Photograph items for Ebaying Work in progress. Someone on FB posted in one of the selling groups asking for a brand of crafty stamps I have LOADS of but rarely use. Managed to sell £24 of stamps to her - and thus cleared out two boxes in the spare room without trying :rotfl:
• Start listing above items ready for next Ebay free listing weekend
• Tidy out the spare room
• Go to the cinema at least once
• [STRIKE]Chase location of tickets (already sold, but the company hasn't sent them to me yet!)[/STRIKE] Allegedly posted today. Chase again if not received by Wednesday
• [STRIKE]Cancel LoveFilm membership[/STRIKE]
• Keep spends to under £20
• [STRIKE]Submit timesheets for second job[/STRIKE]

I also got my cheque in the post from the Old Bank today, so that'll be banked with the new one tomorrow :rotfl:

You know me, I'll watch anything

Although since that god-awful thing we sat through, I won't watch Jennifer Anniston films
