It's brilliant only having a couple of things left to get, especially when you see other people rushing about mental

I still have my food shopping to do though but I will probably do it about 3am so the supermarkets quiet.

I often find getting a card the worst bit actually, I normally spend an hour looking for one with a funny joke on it

Yes card shopping is a trauma. My son calls my mum Nan, and sometimes all the cards are either for Grandma, Gran, or Nanna. I always find one in the end, but it's a pain :/

I have that problem sometimes as well, one of my Gran's I call Granny and the other Grandma so it's always difficult to get the right name, I normally just get plain cards for them now
