Only 357 days until Christmas!!

Hey there p1kef1sh This must be the first year that I haven't picked up any Christmas cards at reduced prices, they have probably all sold out now and I wiil have to pay full price for the them in December!! Cheers P1key

I was looking at some today Humbug. At the Cathedral. But even with my discount they are still pricey.

Hi there iskayz If you can get a lot of stuff in the sales too all the better so you won't spend so much money come Christmas time! Thanks for your response

Hi ya shihtzumama I did that last year and it really makes a difference getting gifts earlier but sometimes you forget that you have someone a gift already and end up buying them another one, that's what I did, but I still managed to make use of the extra gift!! I loved the Sharper Image when I lived out in the states for a bit, I don't think I ever bought anything in there because of the prices but always had a good look around, shame they are closing down! Thanks for your response

Hi ya cynthiann Maybe you should have made this a new years resolution!! Thanks cynthiann

Hi ya yoursonlyurs Hahahaha not really I looked it up on the internet!! LOL Thanks for your response

Hi there marmdn I do this because I can buy the gifts cheaper and save myself some money and also because it is a lot less stressful time to shop! Thanks for responding

Hi wolfie34 No that doesn't count, I was talking about Christmas shopping for gifts for others not yourself but I will let you off!! Cheers wolfie and well done your bargains anyway!

Hello cutepenguin That's a really good idea, getting the knitting done now! I can't knit so I have to buy my gifts! LOL Thanks for your response

Hey there cher913 Wow this is an old discussion but I am still happy that you responded. I think my stock of gifts has gone down slightly due to birthdays throughout the year but at least I had them to hand, used one only yesterday in fact!! Thanks for responding

Hi mummyofthree I couldn't face going to woolworths I knew it would be busy and I bought loads of my gifts way beofore Christmas to avoid shops like that!! I really miss Wilkinsons. I used to live in a town that had one but now I live a good half an hour or so's drive away from one and I really miss it!! Thanks for your response

Hey Chris Well as I am sure if you have read through a few of my discussion now you will be able to identify with my sense of humour. I like to think of good titles for my discussions that will make people laugh or at least put a smile on their faces. I love to laugh and am a very jovial person as I am sure other fellow mylotters will tell you. I wasn't really being that serious about this discussion I thought it would be funny to tell people how many days there were until Christmas as the holiday season had only just ended! I was also interested to see if anyone had bought any gifts yet for the next Christmas. Look out for my next lot of discussions they too will amuse you I am sure!! LOL Cheers Chris PS By the way I can be very serious when need be and am always very sensitive to other's more serious discussion when necessary!!

Hi ya Marcola I couldn't agree with you more there but as there is little that can be done about the weather we might as well get on with things eh? Cheers for your response and sending a hug to warm you up!!

Well, that's how to buy gifts, anyway. I've found you can buy expensive gifts cheap if you just watch the sales. I do it all the time! What I bought for my grandkids at Christmas last year (not this past) would have cost me a fortune if I hadn't found some great sales! That's the only way I buy! I don't blame you for buying that way for your friends. I don't buy for friends myself, close or not.

Hi Barb42 Well the gifts I have bought are not for my close family just friends. I spent a lot on my friend and her daughters last year with little appreciation so I decided not to do it this year and they can have some gifts bought from the sales at real cheap prices!! Thanks for your response

Hi AbbeyB Yeah and the one had to be me eh? LOL I have to be organised or else my life would spiral out of control and I would end up on Prozac!! LOL Thanks Abbey

Hello lingli_78 Some of the real bargains have gone now I think but it is really good to save money where you can! Thanks for your response

Hello tammytwo I think last year it dawned on me just how many gifts I had to buy for people for Christmas. I must admit that I did start early last year, though not this early, and I did notice how stress free the Christmas season really was and what a difference it really did make. Thanks for responding

Hi ya 1corner Well the gifts I have got already are not perishable and could be given to a number of people so I am not worried about the events of the year!! LOL Thanks for your response

Hi y di1159 It is difficult for people to buy things as this time of year as they are still trying to get over the expense of Christmas but Christmas shouldn't be expensive as we should reflect on what it is really all about. By doing some gift buying now it gives me time at Christmas time to think and do the really important stuff, visiting people and spending time with the kids!! Thanks for your response

Hi there my_january I picked up some more stuff the other day too. I have also picked up some birthday presents too! Thanks for your response

Hey there Shar19 I know it is early but being a single mum to 3 energetic young boys sometimes these sort of things have got to be done!! LOL Thanks Shar
