Members Rudy Posted October 17, 2020 Members Share Posted October 17, 2020 I have a different role at work now so I’m not away at weekends, the Mrs tried to get me to go today, but as I am a genius I’ve been doing my Christmas shopping all year in secret, the Mrs is done for, all the family. Just now the sprog. Showed our Maude to everything except hers today and she couldn’t believe it. And I haven’t stepped into a shop, god bless Jeff Bezos Last year was a nightmare because I left it late. New baby on the way and I’ve even done the room up. Think I’ve earned a beer.

Usually in the Vaults for 5.05pm with a bag like Santa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freds dad Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Late night Esso garage on Christmas Eve. 5L of screenwash, a bag of logs and a large Toblerone. I know how to treat a lady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 17, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2020 Fortunately none of my family are kids anymore. Collectively we've decided to shove Christmas pressies in favour of going out on birthdays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 We have to do it bit by bit this year with the other half being made redundant, plus all the kids are at that age 14, 10 and 8 where (apart from the youngest) you can't buy the big box pressies that are cheaper but look ace wrapped up. Its all earrings, vouchers etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never liked it before anyway but since my dad's passing it's just one long exercise in trying to keep my mum distracted. It can fuck right off for me.
