    Well its the usual for me. Down to the last week, nothing bought and still not a clue what to buy for anyone.

    Will have to try and buy stuff some evening this week. (which will probably mean waiting till christmas eve, what i do most years)

    I managed 3 hours Christmas shopping in Galway before I had a freak attack and had to leave. There where cues for the car parks and dispite there being two ticket machines everyone decided to cue for the same one and slow things down even more.

    I bought that World war Z and the guide book that goes with it on the recomendation of the good folks of this forum. I got a robo crap thing in smyths half price marked down from €99.

    Nope. But if it was up to be celebrating Christmas would only be winding up around now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 631 ✭✭✭andrewie


    First time in my life I have everything bought before the last week or last minute.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    Already! :eek:

    Going Skiing on Saturday for a week so we have our Christmas dinner a week early. They don't eat turkey and ham in Austria, you see. We give our presents out at the dinner so we don't have to pack and bring them all to Austria, then bring them back!

    done it all online. jsut hav to cross the fingers that they arrive on time.

    bought the parents a DVD recorder. ordered wednesday night, arrvied friday mornin! couldnt believe it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    I attempted some shopping this morning but I have a fever. Combine that with the super heating they apply during the christmas rush I nearly passed out...and headed home to the comfort of my couch after 30 min.
    Thankfully I managed to get half of the gifts I need in the 30 min :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭projectmayhem


    i don't get paid till friday so it'll be a last-minute christmas bonanza for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Same with me, waiting to get paid before I can do any shopping. Having to mooch drink money at the weekend sucked.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 890 ✭✭✭l3LoWnA


    I've the major stuff done! Santa was sorted about 6 weeks ago and he's been adding little things to the sleigh ever since here and there. All other kids I've to buy for are sorted. One or two more pressies left to get! Just had to pay off a bill for a camcorder (12 months interest free option thingie) I got last december - that near drained my bank account :( Thank god I'm getting double wages this week :D Friday will be my shopping/hungover day (hopefully) :D If, not it'll be sat/sun or xmas eve

    I believe Michael Jackson is moonlighting as Santa in some Dublin department store.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,983 ✭✭✭leninbenjamin


    i've yet to start. i'll go in some morning at 9 to beat the crowds and hopefully get everything I need in under 15 minutes. maybe tomorrow.

    I bought my girlfriend's present online this morning. Spent all night trying to decide what to get.

    My mother bought presents for my nieces for me and i'll give her money. Because i have no clue what they like!! Only cost €15:) Can't complain.

    Money in a card for my brother and mother, we have an array of cards in the house to choose from.

    So yeah, i'm pretty much done.

    I like it!

    I'm gonna email that pix to everyone I know and that'll be my xmas shopping done for another year.

    It's not the size of the gif, it's the thought behind it.

    evrything except my mums, her present which is normally simple to choose is proving elusive
