I did that too.I got loads of wrapping paper,plus cards,and all the more expensive special family cards.The ones you pay a couple of pounds for were 16p.I have a big family,that's lots of cards.Also the ones that the children send to their friends.I've got 4 at school now,that's 30 cards each.A bit of me felt like a cheapskate doing it,but it makes sense and I hope to do it again this year.
We bought a Christmas pudding in January too,it has a 2010 use by date.
There's lots of offers on already.We've been buying the big sweetie tins BOGOF in Tesco,plusa few others.We're getting quite a stock.
I have started some of the presents,nothing worse than hunting down something at the last minute.We're lucky to have Mummy's Cubby ,as we have a loft room,and when it was converted they boarded right out to the eaves,and made the lowest part into the Cubby.It's massive.
Ileft it all too late last year.Iwant to be organised this year,bought and wrapped by December
