    Goodness no. It's still sunny outside. Can't be thinking of Chrimbo when it's like this. When the Winter weather comes along, I'll start.

    Incidentally, anyone like me in the fact that I always start each spree with the aim of getting 'different' and 'unique' pressies, but end up getting the same nonsense. Each year. This year, I will be different. No socks for Dad!

    I am in the process of deciding whether to get my grandparents a DVD player from Scan or from eBuyer (both quite cheap)...

    I will probably get my sister one too, two birds one stone and all that

    not sure what I am going to get anyone else though, I normally leave it all up to my sister to sort out the family

    Imagine the rush. I hate the general public at the best of times. Do it early, avoid the rush, people and queues.

    Only bought one present so far, for my brother (a Tinchilla can cooler just because its cool) I normally don't bother until the week before christmass
