Hitting the Card Factory on Tuesday to get the special cards. Going to wait for BHS Christmas shop to open for the other Christmas cards (also gonna start hounding people for their addresses as i know at least 3 have moved!)

i have already got my sister in law sorted for presents. Hubby is nearly done. Just gotta get presents for mum, dad, brother, neice, nephew and Secret Santa at work which i dread because there are 6 of us, we all spend £20 except for HIM, who doesnt and gets great present but really crappy ones as in already used! *sigh* there is always one isnt there?!

I am going to start getting a couple of bits from sept if i see anything good and then properly start shopping from oct onwards.

 

[vix1989]

yeah i used to have red gold and green but had that since i left home 5 years ago so time for a change i think.
love the idea of silver and white

Waiting very patiently

Nearly done all my Xmas shopping now, just got to buy for my mum and sister which I get nearer time on my staff card and special cards!

I really think Xmas cards bump the price of Xmas up though so gonna buy a couple each month till Xmas x

 

[cookielucylou]

I've already started our shopping. My excuse is its DS birthday end of oct so buying for that and Christmas and will split it all between the two.
I just found one of my Christmas candles out

 

[Mazzy17]

oh and i have already started a list of item for Christmas Eve bags. Gonna do one for me and hubby, one for my mum and Dad and one for my brother and his little family!

 

[dizzydoll]

I'm gonna start making a proper list of what I need to buy for christmas so I can plan it properly Then once I have spare cash after I get everything I need for baby I can start buying

 

[cookielucylou]

I have a rather comprehensive list already wrote lol.

 

[Tegans Mama]

I think I might go for either silver and white or gold and brown this year. We've just redecorated and getting new flooring/table and storage units etc before Christmas. We're having a cheap christmas this year gift wise (for family) because I'm tired of spending hundreds of pounds (in total ) on other people and having to cut back for ourselves for the three months running upto christmas.

 

[Tegans Mama]

Oh and I've started saving Morrisons stamps for the big shop

 

[dizzydoll]

I'm usually good for lists but time has just gotten away from me this year!

We've gotta be tight enough this Christmas too so I'm gonna have to plan meticulously and make sure I don't spend too much!

 

[vix1989]

oooowwww i like gold and brown! that sounds nice
Vanessa how long have you got left till babys here?

 

[vix1989]

oooh just seen your ticker dooohhhh lol

 

[Mazzy17]

Oh and I've started saving Morrisons stamps for the big shop
