Bless :biggrin: !
Well I have started off by making a list of the people I'm buying for as, broadly-speaking, they fall into three families (my family, my best mate Peter and his family, and my best mate Matthew and his family), so now I've got to start working on filling in some of the blanks !! Which is getting harder year-on-year, as I'd like to think I have a reputation for trying to outdo myself (although some years that's been difficult - one year in particular I lavished Matthew with about £350 worth of goodies and I've never been able to outdo that really) ...
As for me ? I'm pretty much the same as Saltybeanz - people generally hate buying me presents because if I see something and I like it, odds are I'll already have bought it for myself (I don't believe in working to horde money - I work to earn the money to enjoy my life), so I pity anybody with that task ... :redface: ...
Christmas Day I'm going to be at the house with my family - whilst we hail from Derbyshire, there are only the four of us here in Jersey (plus my brother's g/f). I'd like for my b/f to be here, but I don't know yet whether that's going to be possible - I shall discuss it with him soon - I wouldn't want him to feel pushed out OR dragged away from his family (who live further north in Wales than him), so we shall see on that score ... mile:.
Merry Christmas (well) in advance everybody !!
!?!?! Shadow !?!?!
