Done any Christmas shopping yet?.............

........... I have!!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bought a few DVD's.

The Italian Job (1969) --- My dad loves this... so will enjoy owning the DVD.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding --- My mam wanted to go and see this at the pictures, but never got, so will like the DVD.

What Women Want --- Seem's a very suitable title for the Girlfriend

Austin Powers 3 Goldmember --- XTR's early treat, unless I give this DVD to my girlfriend's brother.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also bought a cross stitch kit. scary innit. The girlfriend is into Winnie the pooh and doesn't mind doing cross stitching so i've bought her a little kit to do when shes bored.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also bought a Playboy Address Book for the girlfriend from As seen on screen.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just gathering a few bit's and pieces in so when it comes to Christmas I dont have a mad dash and lack of cash. My parent's are off on a Caribean Cruise just before Christmas so I'm going to get them to bring me back some Aftershave, Perfume, etc.. Lovely Duty Free

Ooh... I've also bought a rather groovy snowman cuddly toy thing and a Nicky Clarke Hair thingy. (£20 at makro, it's for sale at Boots for £50!!!!, BARGAIN!!!)

You're nuts, yes?

I bought myself a packet of cigarettes, if that counts.. otherwise.. nope! :> Christmas shopping is exactly that! I like the mad dash around town searching for gifts within my budget.. it captures the spirit of christmas for me. You know.. running around the shops, snarling at people in your way.. makes it special!

Was thinking of buying my other half a new mobo and a cpu plus some power tools but I don't think that would go down too well and they might get damaged when she throws them at me

Seriously though I have finally ordered a airzooka under the pretence of it's for my stepson for chrimbo

ps I'm not really that tight I'll get him something else as well, esp as he won't get a lookin on the Zooka!

Yup, got a few bits for the GF already and also got all my brothers presents as well.

Am well chuffed. Normally I leave it till the last week and get really stressed out.

**Skii** · 16-10-2003, 10:01 AM

Strictly last minute here too. Why spend money earlier than you have to ?

I can see it now, just sticking out of the top pocket, adds a touch a class

I hate last-minute shopping, hate it with a vengeance... the crowds drive me up the wall. Sadly I'm too lazy to organise myself in time so I always end up doing exactly this.

Not yet, but when I last saw my in-laws a couple of weeks ago, they had already had their first Christmas card! At the start of October

We haven't even had Halloween or Guy Fawkes Day yet!
