    Xmas Shopping

    :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

    :( :( :(


    Still havent started. Have no idea what to get anyone. Got me Mam and Dad and two brothers to buy for.

    Think im gonna go have a quick look round the shops now. But im meeting a couple of mates for beers at 8pm, so havent got much time.

    Workin all tomorrow, and ive got stuff planned from lunchtime onwards on Xmas Eve.

    So my only chances really are tomorrow after work, or Friday morning (and i dont fancy that).


    Anyone else struggling? Or anyone got any good ideas. Id probs look at spending in the region of £30-£50 per person.

    Done most of mine last month, had pretty much all the bairns in at the start of Nov.

    Orbit, what interests do they have, you must have some idea what to get them!

    One advantage is I've got all mine the disadvantage is that I keep seeing things that are better and I keep wanting to exchange them.

    My Dads an alcy. Main interest wine. I could get him a case of wine, but u dont really wanna buy an alcy wine. Hed lobe it, but thats not the point.

    My Mam, well shes quite active/sporty (for a 52 year old woman) anyeway). But im clueless. I usually just buy her a load od standard crap from the Body |Shop.

    Brothers? One smokes copius amounts of weed and does fuck all else. The other likes making thinds himself, and fixing things (broken or not broken, doesnt matter).

    Doesnt help really. hmmmmm :think:

    Does he go out much? Get him a nice shirt perhaps? Got my Dad a couple of really nice ones.

    Get here some new quality trainers?

    Get to Pacha and buy him some new smoking contraption for his weed!

    Go to a model shop and buy him some car kits, etc! He'll love making them up!

    Im usually good at buying presents for people but I ran out of ideas this year.

    Got Georgina the Crasher Resident Transmission album signed by Matt Hardwick (which she's already opened :p )

    I just relied on the gift ideas page on Amazon for my family tho.

    Dunno if I'll be chipping in for Dee's family's pressies next year, those fuckers don't deserve anything IMO. Tossers. :rolleyes:
