I started xmas shopping....

Noooooooooooooooooooo to christmas shopping!!!!!! WAY too early!!!!

I am having post retail guilt, i had a make up trial at Bobbi Brown which was fantastic but i then spent SO much money on the products. Really worth it though....i hope!!

Enjoy your meal out

Teehee I could have bet a lot of money you would be the first!

enjoy tonight!

Oh God.....(panic) please don't mention the C word. i really really can't afford f' all for xmas this year. I wanna just bury my head in the sand tbh.

Bobbi Brown stuff is just too nice so don't feel guilty AutumnR.

Enjoy your meal Teehee!

Last C................, when we were saving for the wedding etc, I was buying gifts in Poundland! I didnt think I would start this early tbh, its very unlike me but I had the urge to spend money and dont feel so bad knowing i didnt spend it on ME! I'm still stuck in my 'everyone gets a tenner' mode..... I rarely spend more than that per person! Apart from H.

I'm looking forward to going out into civilisation tonight, just hope the restuarant we are going to doesnt balls up as they have on previous 2 occassions. Supposed to be getting free drinks tonight...we'll see.

With C..... in mind I dragged OH to the disco shop yesterday.......so he knows exactly which radio mic I want in my stocking. He did well last year.....bought me a digital volt test meter.....in pink. I know ....not very romantic but I desperately wanted one on my rig.

Im just back from C........ shopping! Me and SIL2B hit the shops at 9am and a good chunk of it is now sorted. I absolutely hate shopping so try to get as much done at once as I possibly can and I try not to leave it to the last minute cos I usually get the urge to punch someone once it gets too crowded lol

i started my c........ shopping 3 weeks ago ?

im almost done - i'm just waiting on part of my friends secret santa (which should be here monday) then just a few little bits for the kids

as much as i LOVE to shop, i hate the c........ crowds. all the pushing, shoving and long queues ? ppl become possessed this time of year ?

I've started mine too - only got a few things but its a start at least.

Phew! I dont feel so bad now!!!

I keep thinking its ages until Xmas but its really not - think I'll need to get rid of the xmas ticker!!!!!

I have already bought a few pressies, I think I got the first one in August.

When my son was saving for his wedding and the pennies were really tight at Christmas, he and now dil put sweets and a lottery ticket in a clear ballon, with some twirly streamer thingys. Everyone understood and were thrilled, I think there were even a couple of small wins on the cards.

I've done all mine and they are all wrapped up too! Started in July with the stocking fillers and finished a couple of weeks ago.

OMG - now that IS organised!!!! lol Well done you

Same here. We're saving all our spare money for the honeymoon (and other big things, like possibly emigrating). At we HAVE Christmas together this year (H2B had to work last year) so we're just doing small presents but going to be really really festive in spirit instead!

I hate shopping when it's busy plus I like to spread the cost too LOL!

Same here - just been working out money this morning (nice and cheerful) I really can't afford xmas this year - cash is sooo tight its an issue just getting wedding stuff and the house sorted in time for the wedding. Nightmare. Also OH bday is around xmas time, I really don't know what I'll do ☹️

Yep I started months ago. Did the same last year and saved on stress. Hit the summer sales for some good bargains. Not wrapped yet - think that is a step too far and i kinda enjoy that job - gets me in the mood for C!

I've bought 2 Christmas presents so far.

How can you all not like Christmas shopping?! I love it! Between my brothers and sisters, there are 5 children and we all go in to buy them a bigger present rather than smaller ones (iyswim) and I do all the shopping for this too!

Send me your lists everyone and I'll happily do it! (Though, I need the money too... Spending other peoples money is another bonus! ? )

I enjoy it too Need to continue with the thinking plan though and stick to it. Im awful for adding to presents!

I've bought my niece her present, that's it. She's really easy to buy for, only 3 and loves everything and the only child in our family.

My OH is done and has wrapped up! ? and has been for a month now! ?
