**Woohoo !! It's Christmas Day **

[mandymouse]

Everyone else will get Disney cards bought next week.

There's some nice Mickey Mouse cards in Clintons Florence, I haven't seen any in the Disney Store yet

I want to get everything bought way before Christmas as I hate the crowds.

That's how I am too

There was someone on the radio just who said that she was going home tonight to put the tree up ----- was that you Mandy!!!!????

No, that's too early, even for me Gems

Asti Spumante - or as it is pronounced in my delicate Northern accent - Asti Spew-manti

LOL - I'll think of you everytime I have a glass of Asti Spew-manti Laur's

This is my first visit to this thread this year, but we have just drank our first bottle of Baileys so feel that I can now join in!

What a great way to spend half term

Yay, I bought hubby's last pressie today. I got him Die Hard 4.0 on DVD (which came out today)

I think I'll have a wrapping up day later in the week

Anyone else buy anything over the weekend ?

 

[jen_uk]

Ive bought a couple of little things, Ive been looking in the gift guides to get some inspiration.

 

[CustardTart]

Oh yes! I've been on such a roll this morning as I've had loads of gift catalogues come through the post over the past few days and I've chosen quite a few things for DH, DD, DSs, assorted rellies - even the dogs have got a look in!

Over the weekend, we decided to spruce up the living room in time for Christmas - so headed off to DFS on Saturday afternoon and ordered a couple of new sofas! Never bought from here before and I couldn't believe the prices! Fingers crossed the sofas look as good in my home as they did in the showroom...

I'm now in 'changing-the-furniture-around' mode and the house is in uproar! It feels good to mix it up tho' and I'm now wondering if I can replace the curtains in time for festive season...

Susan I love your style.

On Sunday we went to ToysRUs and completed all of Joseph's Birthday and Christmas shopping

I finally feel brave enough to visit this thread - even though I'm still desperately disorganised, I am starting to get excited now.

I just need to get up the energy (and find enough spare time) to go Christmas shopping.

I have been doing most of my shopping online this year and I'm probably more organised than I've ever been! I've seen more unusual things too...

Would you believe, I spent 3 hours today wrapping Christmas pressies and putting them in cute gift bags - my backs killing now from leaning over them - but hey, that's another job done

Mandy, you're so well organised - you mustn't have much space left behind your sofa now

Bought the first Christmas pressie at the weekend, a Playstation 3 for Mark. Bought the rest of my xmas cards at lunch time and the good news is our office is closing Christmas Eve so we break up Friday 21st Dec and I don't go back to work until 3rd January. We are off to Spain Boxing Day for a week so am just so excited now. Me and Mark are on the fizzy wine tonight.

Oh and on my way to work this morning I saw Doc (snow white) in the window of the charity shop. It was too early to be open but asked my boss if I could leave early so I could buy him on my way home. So I now have another Christmas present (for Kirsty0. The man in the shop asked me how I knew it was Doc. How could I not know

So excited


Susan
