.. well almost lol

Apart from my dad I have completely finished for Christmas! Ive just put in an online order for the last gift I had to get... I just need to think of something for my dad! Santa finished his shopping yesterday, but he accidently picked up some more little bits today, but he promises he's not going to get any more now hehe Then I finished the family shopping about 5 minutes ago woohooo There's bound to be someone I have forgot lol but I'll deal with that as and when lol Any ideas on what I can get my daddy?

I've already starting thinking of Joshua's birthday now that the Christmas expense is over lol (his birthday is May ha ha) but Ive really enjoyed being organised this year, and there has been no financial pressure.

Tsena I draw up a spreadsheet on Excel and put everyones names in - gift - cost - where from - and then a tick box for ordered and one for arrived.

Search the net, make your mind up and then get it. I'm making loads of gifts this year. I know you do that anyway. Try not to worry too much - its the thought that counts.

I went out and got most of the pressies a couple of weeks back.. all i need to get now is a little pressie for Jaimee and something else for Simon.. he saw what i got him (satnav) and wanted it now, lol..

Wow, you are organised. i started getting neices and nephews today, but only managed to buy 6 pressies. I was so proud of myself for starting so soon.

Altough usually I am not this organised but will be taking them up to Glasgow at the end of October, so have 20 presents in total to get by halloween. As said, have 6, so only 14 to go  

I always feel good once they are in, as then I just have the girls to buy for.

Can't believe you have it all in.

Neither can I lol... I still dont know what to get my dad though! Men are such hard work. I'll ask my mum when she gets back from holiday, she always knows what he wants lol

I've not even started yet!

I only worked out it was 11 weeks as of yesterday. Best start budgeting, i'm fortunate I've not many to buy for this Christmas.

Told DD Father Christmas will decide what to get her as she asks for every toy advert she sees!
