I'm with you on this. I have the kids santa sacks finished but every time we're out i pick up a few bits to add to them
 
I have actually been very good this year :) I made a list and stuck to it :smug:
 
I have run out of places to hide things

My bedroom is a mess with black bags and sheets covering everything :(

Me too!

Last year they had far too much and rarely played with anything so this year I definitely stuck to it.
 
Heh... buying presents is so addictive. I buy a few more presents for Ike every day just because I like wrapping stuff when he's gone to bed.
 
OH shouted at me in the car last night saying iv gone too far and whats the point of buying him all this stuff when he would be just as happy with 1 or 2 things, at the end of the day hes my baby if i want to spoil him i will im not hurting anybody it makes me happy to know he will have a huge pile of presents on christmas morning :) im not going hungry or missing bills to pay for it so i dont see any problem! xx

exactly, It would be different if the money was nor mine etc but it is so I dont know why he keeps moaning and then spends money on crap lol x
 
I have always set a three present limit to each child plus stocking.if I do find a good deal or something I can't pass up I buy it and put it away for Birthdays, Easter ect..
 
Honestly, I haven't gone overboard yet. So far the kids are under the budget level I set. But I was at the mall yesterday and was in Toys R Us, which have a good sale on right now and there was a bunch of things I wanted to get. I didn't buy anything as we are awaiting some payments on jobs and next weekend I should be able to finish my shopping.

But I can foresee myself next weekend going over the budget. :rofl:
 
:lol: Ive gone way over budget so im totally guilty of this , but the girls will play with every last thing they have , and i always pick things i know they will love ! Plus its good as they share everything so in there eyes they get double of everything since whatever is carlys is ellas and vice versa!

I think once we see a bargain thats it! We gotta get it! It be rude not too afterall :rofl:

I just want my bedroom back xxx
 
I find it's the week before Christmas when I am shopping for the last stuff that I go a bit crazier. I do so well up until that point then I lose the plot.
 
Ive gone overboard but im not hurting anybody and its going to make me so happy seeing him opening presents and playing with them xmas morning
