Popular Post garethEds Posted December 11, 2009 Popular Post Posted December 11, 2009 Another week gone. Time is flying. Anyway - have a nice weekend everyone. Gents - if any of you are being dragged XMas shopping tomorrow (like me) then I wish you good luck. Ladies - if any of you are dragging your other halves XMas shopping tomorrow then please have patience with them. :-) Still - a train journey to Cardiff, some shopping, lunch in Jamie's Italian and then more shopping won't be that bad now that the new John Lewis has opened. I'll hide in the cafe if I need a break :-) Have a nice weekend. GJE 5

BrianG Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Has anyone else here not done any Christmas shopping yet?
ahuxham Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Has anyone else here not done any Christmas shopping yet? All online yes. Everything delivered and a few pennies to wrap. I'm all golden!
Haptic Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Has anyone else here not done any Christmas shopping yet? i havent bud i do mine on christmas eve lastminute.com me;)
BrianG Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 All online yes. Everything delivered and a few pennies to wrap. I'm all golden! See that's how I'd do my shopping, given half the chance, but no.. apparently it's not in the festive spirit to do that. Apparently you have to spend an hour queuing to get into the carpark then a further hour trying to get from the carpark to the shops to then spend another hour at the cash desk while the sales assistant talks to her friends, answers her phone and then looks at you like you've just dropped out of a donkeys bottom when you want to pay cash rather than credit card. I hate shopping !!
sidewinder Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Women are strange! I do all mine online, dont see any reason to brave the hoards in the shops when you dont have to Even if a wife/girlfriend wanted to go shopping, there is no way on earth id go with them Weekends are meant for important things, like football and beer, which is mostly what I'll be doing with mine

If I did that I'd be sleeping in the shed for the entirity of the christmas festivities
teejay Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Yep, online shopping, plus clickety the gift wrap option, all sorted
crc-ict Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Even if a wife/girlfriend wanted to go shopping, there is no way on earth id go with them You obviously don't have one if you think you'd get away with that! 2
powdarrmonkey Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Has anyone else here not done any Christmas shopping yet? That would be me 1
Guest richard_s Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Done my Christmas shopping only had one present to buy. So I can now relax and take it easy as I have no decorations put up either.
BrianG Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I have no decorations put up either. I'll admit to enjoying that bit. Our house looks like Santa's grotto... but lacking the presents obviously
powdarrmonkey Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I'll admit to enjoying that bit. Our house looks like Santa's grotto... but lacking the presents obviously Aren't they kinda crucial to the grotto look?
leon999uk Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 3/4 done, went to lakeside last night took 3-4 hours to get there after beeing stuck in traffic on M25 should have only taken 1 hour!
garethEds Posted December 11, 2009 Author Posted December 11, 2009 Weekends are meant for important things, like football and beer, which is mostly what I'll be doing with mine Indeed - not much for football but it is Heineken Cup weekend on SkySports!!!!!! Bring on the rugby. GJE
pritchardavid Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 havent done mine, no idea what to buy anyone plus I feel it doesnt fell like christmas, so havent been in the mood to do christmas shopping eithier 1
Sylv3r Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 12 of our support staff are off to York tomorrow on the train.... Christmas shopping from within the pubs
BrianG Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Aren't they kinda crucial to the grotto look? And if my other half let me buy the presents online they'd be tucked up under the tree by now completing the look.. Another tick in the box for online shopping !!
Guest theeldergeek Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Has anyone else here not done any Christmas shopping yet? I haven't, and never do. My wife starts Christmas shopping in January, and is usually well done by July. We also haven't bought a present for each other in 20 years, preferring to treat our daughter with something special. She is also a nurse, so invariably works over Christmas, meaning we always get invited to someone else's for dinner. So, apart from getting her a crimmie card, and putting my rather fancy LED lights out the front of the house which takes all of an hour, I never worry about "Christmas", let alone shopping. Ain't life sweet.
ButterflyMoon Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I have not done a thing yet not even bought christmas cards!!!! My good woman keeps dragging me off hillwalking and force feeding me veggies!!!!! That said have had no notion to go braving the shops!!
Edu-IT Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 All done thanks to Play.com, Amazon and Elegant.com.
BrianG Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Just tried to get home, going past the local shopping place, took me nearly an hour to do a 2 mile drive !
john Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Has anyone else here not done any Christmas shopping yet? Not even started it yet or have any ideas what to get anyone Must try to find time next week to do some Internet shopping.....
