B ought a load of pressies the other day.
Have only got a couple more to go not including children and husband. I'm so impressed!
Once the christmassy food starts coming into tesco then I'll start ordering online and putting it away.

I must admit I had thought that contemplating Christmas too early in the year was going a bit too far.... but yesterday I went in a shop that was selling small "stocking fillers" very cheaply - so I bought some.
Ok, so what's the problem?
Well, two of the gifts I bought were lovely pen sets for my two granddaughters - with their names on ... reduced to 50p! What a bargain!

So what, I hear you ask - it's not that far till Christmas, is it?
Well, ermm...... but my granddaughters are aged 15 months and 1 month .... I think they may not be getting the pens this Christmas... or the next ... or the..............

Last night while waiting for my bath to run I decided to declutter the shelves in the bathroom and found 3 bars of soap that I haven't used. Since DD got 4 bars for Christmas in her stocking, OH got a bar, and I got loads as well I know that I won't be using those particular ones so onto the temporary Xmas shelf in the bedroom along with 2 pedicure sets I picked up for DSILs in the poundshop last week!

I think SIL's are nearly finished, my nanna is getting a box of heavy groceries again from Tescos with my vouchers (she has osteoperosis so its difficult for her to do her shopping), some homebaking for FIL & his father, other GdadIL will get a bottle of rum, MIL - bottle of wine & big jar of olives, I have to bake the Christmas Cake for IL's & the rest of my family I'm not posting on account of some of them reading this forum!

My Christmas cards for family are made and I have envelopes - but I need to get some more from Homebargins (29p for ones that are suitable for cards made from A5 card - cheaper than buying the proper envelopes). None family cards I still have shop bought ones - second year in a row that I haven't had to buy cards for UK people. I do have to buy 6 "foreign" ones and post them with little newletters in them (which I might get OH to photocopy in work rather than use our ink ) but obviously they will have to wait until they appear in the shops. DD starts school next week so I can start going shopping on my own and finish things like this off so I can concentrate on getting all my ebay stuff out of here!

You know what ... I might just have to go and dig out my Jive Bunny Xmas CD :dance::dance::dance:
