I've started as well!

Mine were from Next - would like to get some major things out of the way but you always know that just before Christmas there's going to be a new thing that every child wants. Last year it was Nintendo DS for Gemma's age - so we got it quite early before they sold out, and then they brought out the Nintendo WI - wonder what it'll be this year????? Anyone heard ??????

I haven't even thought of it yet. But it would be smart to start shopping for my family and friends soon. Thanks for reminding me! And, yes, time flies.

Well I looooooooooove Christmas - Never do any shopping until week before christmas - but start planning for the event around now..... in our family I'ts not really about pressies, in fact you only get 'proper pressie' if I happen to find something that is really relevant!!! Apart from that giftwise it's now become traditon in family to get the 'naffest' pressie going- with a 'who can get the best pressies from the poundshop or like!!!!!!!! I'm not saying we don't do christmas - we just plan to make the 'day' special - not the presents!
