Have You Started Xmas Shopping Yet ?
Ive bought some real crackers from Ebay. So far got about 20 pressies for my laddo ! Spent about £80 on ebay. Now if i had bought these from the shops you would be talking at least £300 +
Designer t-shirts (Bear USA, Umbro, Adidas, Nike, etc) from 0.99p all brand new with tags ! PS2 XBOX games, still in shrink wrapper from 0.99p DVD's also from 0.99p I just won a pair of Nike tracksuit bottoms, brand new, still in shrink wrap with all tags on...shop price £46.00 for £1.20 + £1.99 postage....cant grumble at that, not with teenage sons ! Cant wait for crimbo again ! |

Re: Have You Started Xmas Shopping Yet ?
Have surprised myself this year and have actually bought a couple of pressies already. I will probably be panic stricken on Xmas Eve trying to buy the rest...

Re: Have You Started Xmas Shopping Yet ?
I have been having a look round today for ideas of what to get my son & Grand children. Has anyone else noticed how many gambling games there are? I went in one shop and there were 4 different things one armed bandits roulette and others. Are we supposed to teach the young of today to gamble? So that once they are old enough they will know what to do in the big casinos? Will any one teach them responsibility so they don't end up as addicts with huge debts? Don't get me wrong I'm not anti gambling I like the odd flutter but only if I have got money to waste (which isn't often)But I don't think enough parents will warn kids of the pitfalls of gambling & just buy the games without thinking of the consequences in later life. Which is great for the owners of these establishments and the Government (taxes) but not good for those who will be mugged robbed e.t.c to fund the addiction.
OK rant over |

Re: Have You Started Xmas Shopping Yet ?
Why not gamble the money and if you win give it to them. if you lose tell them they would have had a present if you hadn't gambled it away That way they win either way, either a nice big pressie or a valuable lesson in life

Re: Have You Started Xmas Shopping Yet ?
Pity it sounds like the ideal place to shop.

Re: Have You Started Xmas Shopping Yet ?
Phew ... ive got a sweat on. Ive just finnished wrapping up 23 pressies !
I love this time of the year when the postie van is here nearly every day ! its that time of the year when the neighbours grass you up to DSSS for buying off the internet. Well they did do last year . What my neighbours dont understand is i save my family allowance up and then from Sep-Dec i go mad on ebay for his pressies !! hehehe. |
