christmas shopping

well thats the last of the christmas shopping done. car wash stuff for the fathers, handbag and purse for the mothers, jamas for the nieces and nephews (they always have new xmas eve) and then an outfit for boxing day outing. then loads of bits for in my house and would you know the only presies under my tree with my name on say MUM not one of them just says Julie or Ju which means either that Pete has hidden mine or he hasnt got me one.

he cant say he didnt know what to get cos i told gemma weeks ago and i know she would have told him by now infact he usualy sends her shopping for it the lazey sod.

have you seen the price of turkeys my god nearly fell on the floor

I'm glad some people have finished all their Christmas shopping - I'm actually a bit frightened of going to work for the next three days, as I'm guessing the shopping will be wild. I'm even more scared of working the boxing day sales though!

ooohhh no boxing day i will be in my dads having them make my dinner for me and nicely getting pickled for the afternoon.

I'm sure pete hasn't forgotten, the only presents under my tree are for Moo and I seem to have spent the last month doing things for my family (mum excluded we had christmas early).

Funny time of year I always think. Its over and dusted in 24 hours.

I try to get my Christmas shopping done in September, no queues, I don't do queues. Most of the things I got for people this year have been home made anyway,chutneys, jams and Christmas puddings, I hate queues did I mention that.

We have a free range chicken for Christmas dinner, well Christmas eve as we will be at in laws for the big day, I hate queues, did I mention that.

our family only buy for the kids. christmas is for the kids and it lasts almost a week by the time we have all doen the rounds of the families both my side and petes then we have cousins and freinds over during the week as well. then new years eve is party time. kids in a corner with a clouring book while the adults are in the middle with a few beers and some music. i have no kids any more though theyre all grown up so i dont have to keep stopping and checking on them.

Shops close at 12am tomorrow, will do some last minute shopping.

Starting mine tomorrow

Finished all mine never stood in one queue got all mine on line only got to pick up the turkey and the duck tomorow from the butchers.

Our turkey is £1.60 p/lb cause we get one that is around the size of a pterodactyl.

last year we didnt have to pay for turkey cos the brother in law got one and it was so big that it wouldnt fit in his oven so he cut it in half and gave us half. our half was so big it wouldnt fit in the tray properly. needless to say i wasnt cooking and i certainly wasnt cleaning the oven after that either

We have finally finished too! Now I just need to wrap the whole lot. Really should have done it earlier. Intended on doing it yesterday but spend the day on the children's ward with Harrison.

Kathy, anybody would think you hated queues?!
