So far, I've bought a big tin of Rose Chocs, 2 boxes of Toffifee, 4 packs of gold & silver choc coins, a pack of Simpsons Character chocs & 2 packs of novelty chocs to hang on the tree. They're not all for us to eat - most of them are given away!
I've yet to buy a Christmas stocking for our kitten Milly, as she might sniff it out & eat the contents!

Yes, i've been really good this year by starting early :) I've bought for my 3 brothers, and their partners, my best friend and my wee boy also. Still got a few more to get, left all the fussy ones until last :))

Hi Ladies :o)
I have been quite organised. We currently have 2 big packs of beer, 5 bottles of wine & a big tin of caburys heroes in the downstairs loo ready to get out nearer xmas. Upstairs hidden I have quite a few boxes of chocs all different sorts, some presents inc. a Nintendo Ds for eldest daughter (she won't be getting much else tho!). I have made some bits and pieces for family as well including a quilted advent calender for my new nephew who lives in Oz, xmas cushion covers and xmas cakes for Mum & Step Dad, Mum in law etc..
We're off christmas shopping at the end of this month (minus the kids!) to get the last few things.
Tempted to open the tin of heroes lol

I got a real bargain the other day. Asda were selling Nintendo DS's for £95 including two games costing £27 each! Kerching! It's upstairs charging up as I speak. I also bought a packed of orange and lemon slices which sadly are no longer around and a big bag of peanuts which went the same way!!

Quick, beryllium, lets get round to wingnuts, she's got choccies :)))
~Wingnut~ Sat 10/11/07 15:47
lol Louisa! I'd only be too happy to share with you all but think hubby and the girls will beat you to it!!! That's once they've forced me out of the way! ;o)

Hi all - thank you for your answers.
I'd forgotten about some of the other Christmas presents I've bought throught the year, so must take a look in the bags....
I'm determined not to tuck into any of the choc's I've bought so far - she says with mouth watering & licking her lips....

Probably 'cos we have busy lives & buy things as we go along.....
Can't wait for Christmas - love to see the twinkling lights on the tree & the happy faces around it!

We crossed posts megan! Glad you are looking forward to Christmas with the little ones as much as me!
Our two youngest granddaughters (they're sisters & three years apart) both share the same birthday on the 4th Dec, so once the excitement of that's over, we really get stuck into the Christmas spirit!
Take care & sleep well megan. -xx-
megan07 Sun 11/11/07 00:15
Me too smudge, i go to my daughters very early on xmas morning, and the look on my grandchildren's faces, it's priceless, when i am in Asda i always buy a few toys and put them in the big box, this is for the children who need that bit more, T.L.C. god love them.
Take care, love megan. xxx
megan07 Sun 11/11/07 00:23
Sleep well smudge, night night, god bless, love megan. xx
