....or have you done all of your Christmas shopping already?

Perhaps you're all shopping online right now!

Finished mine two weeks ago, lol! (Something to do with coming back to work on the 12th and being away for Christmas.........
)
Still, it's probably more relaxing than the usual last minute rush around overcrowded shops!

Finished mine today - which given this year's arrangements is very last minute. Ian

Christmas shopping was completed a couple of weeks ago, but had to fight our way into and around King's Lynn (Grrr...) to buy stuff for son's Scout winter expedition to Snowdonia between Christmas and New Year. £three-figure sum on winter-grade outdoor gear - just what we need right now (and he'll have grown out of it by Easter
).

I haven't even sent any cards this year (sorry James, I got yours this morning!).
Traditionally I don't even think about my Christmas shopping until Christmas Eve. No need to think it will be any different this year!
Happily my wife organises Christmas and buys most of the presents for me (she starts in January!) and all that's left for me to buy are her presents. For that I take my secret weapon along with me - my 13 year old daughter!

I just gave money to my partner and she bought the presents - even her one. And wrapped them....

Sorted my wife's present in a 15 minute splurge a couple of weeks a go. Boxes from Amazon have been gradually appearing over the weeks from Amazon, GLTC and others for the Bin Lids.
Sorted.

No (no hills) but we do feed 'em on Spartan black bean porridge.

I'm off to Hyde Park tomorrow to visit
The German Christmas Market.I'm not sure I'll be ice skating though - the last time I did that I was responsible for breaking a young girl's arm when I slipped in front of her!
Oops!

All done now. Just some food shopping to do tomorrow.

And, oh b***er, the bloody wrapping. I hate that!
I wish I was Deane!
