Christmas Shopping?
Have people started there Christmas Shopping yet, or are you like me and haven't bought a thing yet.
Dad came home today and was telling me its 7 weeks till Christmas - not much shopping time for me really. I have loads of stuff to get - and have to drag the little brother out with me aswell.
Is anyone organised? I say i will get organised every year - then never do lol

I started ages ago but don't have a lot. I've given up now for a few weeks because I can't be bothered!

I will not be starting until at least two weeks before the big day :-) Haha!
This year I might look into internet/online shopping as it has proved to be the next big thing.

What would you do though - if your stuff didnt arrive that you ordered? Could be a bad idea that, dont you think?

Most people i know have everything they want - and when you ask they they say they dont want or need anything - its a circle. Very annoying aswell.

Then those companies would be in the sh*t. Many people are doing it that way this year... There'd obviously be deadlines as to when you can order things. I'd pay other people to do my shopping and bring it to me than going from shop to shop bumping into other stressed shoppers.

The thing i hate about shopping for christmas are the queues  ..You wait for minutes on end for something petty like a ring or a shirt or something
Drives me insane!

You can hire - Personal Shoppers you know.
I take it your not one for shopping.
Last year i went to the Trafford centre - Weekend before christmas was expected to be the busiest weekend of the year - i went and it was dead. was well impressed i managed to buy loads of stuff - got it all done in one afternoon - thinking of doing it again this year - buts its finding the time around work etc.

Queues are ridiculous - even in the large department stores aswell - where they have loads of tills.
