Title: Christmas shopping time!
Post by: admin on December 18, 2012, 03:07:34 PM
Jeez I spend so much time doing NHC stuff that I haven't fscking started my Christmas shopping.

The all important acceptance letter to Sayso is gone in, the money's on the way, and Brian got Ulster Bank to agree to give us free banking, so looking good.

Later totes!

I'm grand, I'm so useless at shopping that for years now I've only had to get a pressie for the missus.

It's gone to the stage now that she even tells me what she wants and tells me what shop it's in 8-)

+1

It's a great system! This year she even carried it to the counter and all I had to do was pay, I'm hoping next year that I can just give her the money!

We did our gift swapping today as my OH will be at home for Christmas.  I got sports gear mainly but inside my sock was an expensive beer with instructions on it to go look in the spare room.  There I found the beers in the attached photo.  If we weren't engaged already I would have proposed there and then.
