Who's started their Christmas Shopping?

[Penfold]

Ok, I have to confess to having a couple of presents already...but only a couple!

I like to spread the cost before the big day...

We will get loads of offers on here BTW from our Affiliates - so keep a look out

Think I am gonna try and start a bit earlier this year too. We moved into our house in Nov last year so money and time was all kinda occupied with that so we ended up going a bit over board with gift vouchers but I think that is pretty boring so gonna try and start a bit earlier this year so I can get some nicer, more creative presents.

oh yes! i started a while ago!! have a few bits for the kidfs already, but it's great to grab the bargains in the sales if you can in the summer!

I always start in september after my dad's birthday! I know that sounds ridiculously early but I don't have any other BIG birthdays or anything between then and xmas, so it makes sense to spread the cost! I have bought Emily's main present from us, Mother in laws presents, and sister in laws presents so far

the trouble is trying to find places to hide things from 3 kids!! lol, my boys don't seem to miss a thing!

Luckily believe it or not - Emily hasn't noticed the HUGE box in the middle of the hall... god knows what I am going to do next year!!!

haha to the huge box sitting in the hall superted!!

I remember me and my brothers discovered that my parents used to hide the presents under their bed so we used to always go hunting. Until one year I think they cottoned on that we knew cos we couldn't find anything at all even though on xmas morning there were loads of presents. I never did find out where the super hiding place was....... hehe Once my youngest bro discovered what me and my other bro knew about santa they just gave up hiding them in the end and just wrapped them and put them under the tree straight away. Christmas aint as exciting anymore can't wait to have some young kids in the family again. Although I still love it anyway! hehe!

hahaha we used to go hunting tink too!

I love christmas with kids - makes it so much fun!

Ok, I bought my first real present this week!

I got DS one of those mat things that's like a town so he can use it for his numerous cars and fire engines - guess what Daddy does

It was a bargain - £9.98 from B&Q of all places....now I just have to hide it for 2 months!!!!!!!

Still debating whether to get a DS or a Wii for DD............
