Be kind to you love!
Swim definitely improved the mood today.
Nipped into Tesco to get some dog food on the way home and Christmas sweet tubs are £4. Bought what I needed for my nieces and nephews. I'm determined to be sorted early in case A gets made redundant.
I have crocheted gifts for my sister and best friend. I'm finishing the mil a shawl. I have done cowls for A's aunties.
I have got gin making kits for my brothers and their wives. By December I would like to only have our own kids to get.
I adore Christmas but since I took ill I find it very stressful, never knowing what to buy people and the crowds etc.
2 years ago I decided to do all mine online. Best thing I did - no stress, no crowds, just lists, emails, folders and organisation *happysigh*
I’m glad the swim helped, lovely
I get stressed over Christmas too, so like Paula I do my shopping online!....BTW..are you saying that Tesco are already flogging christmas stuff??!! No wonder people freak out. With me it's money sent to the grandkids and my kids and a few simple prezzies that travel well just to open for fun..haha! Glad you had a good swim love.
I only saw the sweet tubs to be fair.... after all we have Halloween first.... maybe the tubs are for Halloween but the dates are good so Christmas it is.
I normally give my nephews money but i like to have sweets to wrap up for them too for under the tree.
Yip they are 19, 21 and 23.... I need to wise up.
Likewise my nieces are/will be married so its sweets and a voucher for a meal out somewhere.
I have a box full under the bed for the kids already! I'm excited to be able to buy for them as if they're my own but J is utterly bemused as he normally leaves it til the last minute!
Jaq that's awesome!
SM you're so organised!
I’ve normally started by now cos I like to spread the cost to make it easier but this year I haven’t got a clue where to start.
I actually have a policy not to do any present buying till after Si’s birthday (7 November)
Present buying is fine, but refuse to contemplate putting decorations up until after my birthday (21st Nov)
