    OMG - can't believe I'm getting organised in September!

    I'm doing it all on-line, so thought this was the ideal opportunity as I'm home for deliveries at the minute.

    I've made a list of everyone's names, what I want to get them, then I'm filling it in as I order it.

    I've found these for my nieces (13 and 11):

    How cool!!!!!!

    https://www.elc.co.uk/toy-31235?&category_id=767&parent_category_id=531&parent_category_id=531

    + this for her birthday:
    https://www.elc.co.uk/toy-42948?&category_id=604&parent_category_id=534&parent_category_id=534

    *If you can't see the links, it's stacking cups, a vtech interactive caterpillar toy and a very pretty pink dress with angel wings for her to wear on her 1st b day :) Also got her some wooden maracas and a clacky toy from mothercare.

    I've never started christmas this early, but im panicking a bit this year so I thought thats it.. better get started!

    Vicky - I've done a bit on Amazon (books, etc), but loads on IWOOT - it's great!

    Jo - good idea - lets have a sticky!

    Tilly - Kayleigh bought Charlie the stacking cups for his birthday, and they're great. He takes some into the bath as well.

    Good idea Jo and have created stuck a thread :D I'm guessing you girls would prefer it in the general area rather than shopping section?

    :D

    My mum always used to wrap mine on xmas eve with a mate and a bottle/box lol of wine, best way to do it in my opinion! the only reason I was wrapping that late was because I had my baby on the 19th Dec 06 but she was in special care so we were at the hospital every day. We had our xmas dinner at abour 2am! LOL

    I love christmas, can't wait for this year :):happydance::headspin:
