    Re: Done any Christmas shopping yet?

    I never go out purposely to buy a gift for anyone, throughout the yeah I just buy random bits that I find that I know they will like or that are on offer

    Was in dusseldorf the other day so bought some lowensoft beer mustard from the factory shop in the old town

    Got most of ours done. My better half has been trauling ebay for unusual things for the kids.

    I still need to get for my parents and my brother, but that is about it I think.

    one prezzie for the GF so far, which is far, far sooner than i normally start.

    got myself a freeview HD recorder, a dell optiplex to use as a smoothwall, and 6 cases of beer for the "treating yourself" pile.

    I'd just like to say - Blessings on Amazon (and a few others). I loathe RL shopping.

    As it's not Christmas Eve yet, then no!
    I've not even started thinking about shopping for it yet, tbh. My other half finished weeks ago. Damned organised woman.

    Re: Done any Christmas shopping yet?

    I've not got anything for anyone yet but have decided to get the following :

    Both sets of Grandparents - A box of tea bags and a packet of Rich Tea bisxuits

    Everyone else - A bottle of wine.

    Can't be doing with asking everyone what they want and getting that, they'll get what they're given this year.

    Re: Done any Christmas shopping yet?

    3 mobility scooter chassis - ones going to be a garden trolly thing for me and sister, other two are going to be ladder racks for my dad - they're 1 inch box section steel, so will be ideal. also about 8 wheels ofvarious sizes, not sure why my dad wants those, i'll find out soon enough though.

    mums gettig a skip-puter, parts from at least 3 different computers that were chucked. and my old enermax PSU, because i dont trust PSUs out of skips.

    not saying what my sisters getting from poundland (because she occasionally reads hexus)


    admitedly alot of the stuff was being chucked out from shopmobility, but it was in the skip non the less.


    and there might be a project log thread on how to build a garden trolly out of scooter bits, in the new year, if the temperature ever warms up.

    I can't really carry anything at the moment on account of popping my arm out. Still, I'll probably order most of it online anyway.

    Haven't started yet.
