According to my ticker its not long now.
On the back of Weka's thread about having written her cards I was wondering where everyone else is with their organisation.
I have bought the bulk of my presents. Girls are all bought or ordered. I just need a few more things for their stockings but a trip to B&M Bargains will finish that off.
This weekend I will start mocking up my hampers (I do four of them) to see what else I need to make/buy and then have a trip to Lidl to get the bits and pieces for them and also some bits for the freezer.
I need to get a couple of big tins of chocolates - one for the dad that gives S a lift to school every day and one for the riding instructor. They will come from Sainsburys so will just pick them up next time I'm in there.
Need a trip to Toys R Us for presents for our two year old twin goddaughters but I know what I'm getting them so that's easy enough.
Mick isn't having anything as he bought an expensive Barbour when we were in the Lake District (£250) so that was his birthday/xmas present all rolled into one - though I will get him some bits and pieces (smellies and sweeties).
I have 3 birthdays to buy for - Micks (already bought - the coat plus a DVD), Micks dad - big jar of Brazil nuts and a bottle of spiced rum (year in, year out that's what he gets) and a friends 8 year old - probably give him money.
I have all my cards though I do need to get some cheap ones for the girls to send to their friends (no doubt B&M Bargains or Lidl will have some cheap ones), I have plenty of gift wrap left from last year (I think!!!) and I don't tend to do a big food shop as it is just the four of us.
I am going to start wrapping some time this week. It is my most hated job so I want to spread it out rather than have to have one marathon wrapping session nearer Christmas.
So where are you all at...............
