Thank you for sharing your lovely news - congratulations. Yes - tired, tired, tired although I'm sure baby Zoe is well worth it.

Many blessings!

I am very happy this this thread has started, I love Christmas and I never really stop planning for it. I am very much looking forward to keeping up with this thread. I have in the past dipped in and out of threads but due to a reduction in working hours I will have a little more time to reign in the Christmas spending and check in.

I/We buy for our children Son 10 and Daughter 7, our 3 nieces and 1 nephew and both sets of parents.
I buy for my other half and also get token gifts for some work colleagues and my brother and sister.
I would estimate this would total to around £500.

I always get wrapping, cards, bows, ribbon etc in the sales and I would think the amount I have would last until 2020!!
I have a small diary that add ideas to at the back as and when they pop up. Just today walking back from town through the park with the kids my son said he would like to start using the basketball pitch. So I wrote in basket ball, it might be that he gets one before then if he chooses to spend his pocket money on but if not then there is an idea.

I also have to let family members know or give ideas for what the children would like, this could potentially be another 10 gifts each ranging from £5 to £50 so writing down does prove to be handy when everybody asks mid November.

We are off on our Summer holidays in a few days so when I come back I will have a lot of catching up to do and hopefully I would have found some great bargains on my travels :j

Told DP we need to start buying for Christmas and he looked at me like I was mad! He'll thank me when we're relaxing a few days before, watching cheesy films with a nice hot cupppa and everything sorted

Hell to everyone else..heaven to all of us.

Seriously, I love this news!!!

I bought another present today, pair of shoes for my niece reduced from 17.99 to 4.49 :money:

Bought myself a pair too, would have been rude not to at that price!

How's little babykins?
