Re: christmas shopping
 

Hmmm, I seem to remember you wanted to celebrate the Christmas spirit about the 25th of November last year, now we are just into October!

Christmas and shopping? The second word has to be OFF!
:mad:

Re: christmas shopping

Re: christmas shopping
 

Les stop being a miserable fart

Re: christmas shopping
 

No! :cool:

Re: christmas shopping
 

Nope haven't started yet!! but I am gonna start next week!!

I always think " oh there is ages off yet, I'll be ok " then before you know it, it's the 20th december, the bills still need paying, the pressie list is still mounting, and the sleepless nights are threatening!! lol

Ahhhhh the joys of Christmas :D

Re: christmas shopping
 

oh i love christmas shopping, i wanted to go down to London nearer christmas to do a bit, but i doubt i can afford it now

Re: christmas shopping
 

I always enjoy Xmas shopping with mum. Xmas shopping with her usually means, One pressie, 1 pint, 1 pressie, another pint and on and on til we are staggering home with shopping bags :D

Re: christmas shopping
 

Sounds like a good way to do it:)

Re: christmas shopping
 

I've bought one so far, a Tickle Me Elmo TX Limited Edition. Cost a bloody fortune but sooooo worth it. I'm going to get some bits next week. Still don't know what Harry's main present will be, i'm thinking about a drum kit but sending it to my Dads! So I don't have to put up with the noise.

Re: christmas shopping
 

Xmas shopping has become more tricky for me with having two boys aged 14 and other will be 16 Xmas day and they never seem to be able to decide what they want.

At least when they were younger you could decide what they were getting and they were happy with it. Even stocking fillers have become a nightmare and a lot more expensive too.

I usually start shopping after my birthday on 1st nov and try to have it done by end of Nov...but hasn't happened that way for about the past 3 or 4 years :(

I am definately with willow hate shopping when I don't know what I want to buy...feel like I am just aimlessly walking around shop after shop trying to get ideas!!!!

Re: christmas shopping
 

I only have to get 5 big prezzies and 7 little stocking fillers.
I always give cash for the 5 big ones.

I was recently given £20 in High St vouchers by Fraser Eagle
I was chauffered to their Padiham offices to join a 'focus group' to give my opinion on their new brochure and tours - free butties and £20 vouchers :D
The vouchers have been spent on 4 of the stocking fillers - so only 3 little prezzies left to buy

Re: christmas shopping
 

not started the prezzie bit but started the food hamper!
when i go asda i get bits for my hamper, by the time its xmas, iv got stuff to last me weeks:D

Re: christmas shopping
 

Bought a few things, now i've stopped nowhere to put them. House in a tip we've got builders in and they'll probably be in for a while.

Re: christmas shopping
 

Asda in preston have had a christmas tree up for two weeks now

Re: christmas shopping
 

well iv'e bought one looked at others but will give my 9 granchildren money as usual, will start "the food shopping " this week ..........i used to put money on the asda christmas savings card but not having been in a lot this year have missed doing it ..i found it great.

Re: christmas shopping
 

Because of my canny shopping tactics I am due (in November)
£21+ in ASDA vouchers
£15 cashback from GEMoneycard
£50 refund from Moneysupermarket (from buying contents insurance)

Re: christmas shopping
 

Is it the shop tree or a sample of what they have for sale? Can't say I've noticed any in the Accy store.

Re: christmas shopping

Re: christmas shopping

I ordered all christmas presents for my children online from Toys R Us last week. They were delivered last Friday for a £4.95 delivery fee and are now hidden away upstairs.

Marvellous. :D

I made the mistake of visiting the store in person a couple of years ago.
What a ghastly experience. Never again. Get online.
