Default Christmas Shopping
Was browsing amazon and ordered something that I thought a family member of mine would like for christmas, so I think it's safe to say I've started my christmas shopping

Have no idea what to get my dad this year, he's so difficult to get something for because he's so boring

Men are a nightmare to buy for. It's either socks (yawns) or something expensive

It's either get everything all at once and spend a fortune or just buy things gradually. Might do the second one - will be a bit easier I think

Am totally skint this year though so am only buying for those close to me Going to a further away college so can't do the 4-6 shifts I would usually do at work when I'd walk down from school, can only do the saturdays when I start A levels in September as college doesn't even finish until 4:30. Gonna need to find another job I think, which is sad because I've been where I am for 2 years now - not bad for a 16 year old Gonna be a struggle as am so used to having money...

Have decided what I'm gonna get my mum and step-dad for christmas now I think. Gonna talk to my brother and see what he thinks about paying half (probably wont - tight git!).

They are expecting and the baby should be here in March so I thought about getting them a digital camera, SD card and re-chargeable battery set so that they can capture all of the memories. They wouldn't think about getting it themselves because they only think about the big things (cot, buggy etc) and not the small little things but I know that they'd try and get by with the crappy camera on mums phone. Dunno what you think but would be a nice idea and should only cost me about Ł70 altogether - Ł35 if my brother pays for half.

That sounds like a great idea for your Mum & Step Dads gift Lewis, I'm sure they would love it.

I will probably start buying some gifts in next month.

I never start my Christmas shopping until at least December. Dunno why, it feels wrong to do it before then.
