[TdC]

I gave in and called her. She wants a stapler. A stapler! And she has forbidden me to get her anything else

 

[Zenith.UK]

Just a couple of small stocking fillers left to get. The main stuff was all bought a month ago.

 

[00dave]

You're getting teedles mum a trip to a spa? Something going on there you want to share with the group?

 

[00dave]

[TdC]

[chipper]

done most of mine couple of bits to get went on saturday and felt like screaming and going on a rampage with a huge snow plough

 

[Raven]

All done, thanks to the internet. Not stepped into a single shop to get any of it.

Though I bought my old man a bottle of Glenfiddich from Tesco but I ended up drinking it the other night so it doesn't count.

 

[Krazeh]

Not done any of it yet, looks like it's gonna be another mad xmas eve rush job

 

[Kryten]

Mine was done by this time last month. Well, almost - the only thing I actually had to buy was pressies for the wife, ordered and received from Play.com last week (series 2-4 of The OC)

Jesus enduring that shit - that's true fucking love right there mate. You have my respect.

 

[mycenae]

All done as of yesterday - most done courtesy of Gadgets, gifts, boys toys & gift ideas from Firebox.com and I Want One Of Those
Am feeling smug as all wrapped too!

 

[old.user4556]

I've done all mine; I only had my girlfriend and my parents and two sisters to buy for. Everyone was quite easy; christmas lists were submitted and we all selected and colluded behind each other's backs.

I've still to get my semi-in-laws and my girlfriend's little sister, but they're away until after christmas so that means I can get presents in the sales *rubs hands together*.

 

[Kryten]

Enduring hours of The OC as well as crap like One Tree Hill?



Don't be fucking daft - that's what I've got a PC for

 

[mr.Blacky]

Done all mine.... thank god for fortnum and masons *laughs*

[PLightstar]

Well for the first time in my life I had all of it done by the 1st week of December, I have never been so organised in my life. The only thing I have to do is give out Xmas cards and pick up and wrap my GF DS thats at my Sisters house.

 

[soze]

I got alot of mine oct and nov bit gutted actually could have saved a fair bit buying it in sales now. Last few bits showed up saturday 2 of the 3 t shirts are the wrong size having a nightmare trying to get it sorted in time

 

[TdC]

I'm all done!!! *breathes sigh of relief*

[Yoni]

soooooo what are you getting me

A night on the sitting room floor with Mike or Dex depending on who draws the short straw ;p

Finished mine today however Fortums delivery hasn't show yet so some people may just be getting cards :| and will have to wait till after Christmas for their presents... thank god they wont go off...

With four children and multiple pressie givers with independent budgets from two separate families, it's a military style operation to arrange in our household, probably started in Mid October.

The difficult bit is convincing the Grandparents to just hand over the dosh and let us buy it all, makes life a lot easier and avoids disappointment.

Like a true geek I use a spreadsheet to work it all out

Probably left it a bit later this year due to the VAT reduction.

The last of them from Play and Amazon arrived yesterday, now all wrapped and ready to go.

I didn't know a VAX could run a spreadsheet?
