    Default Did you leave your chrissy shopping to the last minute like me?

    Why did I do it again....I left my chrissy shopping to the last minute.

    I was at the shops 5 hours today (thank god MIL had DS) and I will still need to go back during the week.

    Why oh why did I leave everything to the last minute....again....

    Note to self: New Years Resolution: Get my *** into gear and start shopping for Chrissy in May!!!

    Anyone else doing the last minute dash?

    Normally i am organised but this year has been a nightmare. So about a month ago i thought yep i will go get it all done simple. I then got sick didnt i which i havent been able to shake to find out i am pg so this means i will be sick for some time.
    Arrrrrgh !!!!!
    Im hoping my sister will come over tomorrow or Monday & take me out so i can get it done because i cant face a train trip let alone that & walking around the shops right now.
    Luckily DP went out today & organised his dad's gift which is something. Oh & he also found a gift for Boof from Santa lol.

    I still have one more person to buy for but I think they will just be getting a bottle of wine - I'm not brave enough to venture back to the shops after going today

    Of course I did. It wouldn't be Christmas without a last minute shopping frenzy fueled by fear. Ahh Happy Holidays
