Xmas shopping.

[grahamw48]

That's it, Xmas shopping done....in about 30 mins. Don't know what all the fuss is about. :NoNo:

Only downside was...had to buy some Xmas cards :Brick:. Got 4 years out of the last 99p box. These cost slightly more, but are at least marginally larger than the postage stamp. :smile:

I have posted the cards that need posting. Tomorrow I start my Christmas shopping, don't want to but 4x12 hour day/night shifts from Thursday until Christmas eve morning means I had better or it won't get done!

A tipexed card is no good without an envelope. Trouble is...I've run out of those brown postage paid ones . :cwm3:

Going to have to buy a book of stamps. MORE expense ! :NoNo:

Shops jam-packed ... deciding what to buy one's relatives and friends ... seemingly interminable queues (particularly in Post Offices) and, not least, the sheer bloody expense of it all. :doh

All ours have now been sent [I think] ... thank God! But I do wish card manufacturers would see to it that the wording on their merchandise also embodied appropriate New Year Greetings. :icon_rolleyes:

Oh I have no problem selecting the presents that I'm NOT going to buy anybody.

I just buy two of everything that I buy in my normal weekly shop...to see me through to New Year, stick the 6 cards in the post, get back home and batten down the hatches. :biggrin:

Oh, I ALMOST weakened and bought a Xmas special TV mag, but at 90p :Erm:thought better of it.
