Bubbles Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Unfortunately I'm starting to feel festive. Thought it would be a good idea, especially with black friday/cyber monday weekend coming up - to create a thread discussing any deals or anything that are coming up. I'm going to murderhell tomorrow after work, forgot it was black friday til yesterday.... wish me luck What are you hoping santa brings when he dumps his sack in your living room?

It'll just be a poo show in there regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly going for the Missus, which I will require some wishes of luck for putting up with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Gonna try and get a few bits this evening before the shops get ridiculously busy, Christmas cards and extra decorations etc. Again, Amazon will be my best friend this year. We can all moan about the high street slowly dying, you can't deny online shopping for presents is less stressful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Started off by buying a big stack of amazon gift cards for the family members we care the least about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Not really done anything yet. Luckily Mrs Wolfie has bought the stuff for my family, so it's pretty much just her & a couple of mates I have to worry about. Plenty of time..........

We can all moan about the high street slowly dying, you can't deny online shopping for presents is less stressful. About 10 years ago I made the mistake of stepping in Spondon Asda on Christmas Eve . Not for myself even, for my mum who was losing her poo about not having a tin of quality street and she couldn't find any. The first thing I encountered was a bloke lumbering toward the checkout with 36 toilet rolls. His partner /wife was already being served at the till and was frantically shouting at him to hurry up. Poor bloke couldn't see with the mountain of bog roll. Then it all kicked off as there was no room for trolleys to get past and nowhere for anyone to move. Swore I would never go in a supermarket that size again near Christmas and I haven't. Never got the bloody sweets even. Card shops are another one.

sonofmidnight Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 A week somewhere hot and sunny sounds good but then again I do love coffee, very partial to a good cappuccino, so a coffee machine would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofmidnight Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Seriously though you treasure and spoil your parents whilst you've still got them. I've lost both mine now and I miss them every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Spent the day in Nottingham and apart from the odd dick wearing a red shirt or a coat with that crap badge it wasn’t a bad day. The Christmas market was up around the Market Place with the Ice Rink which beats 4 tents that are supposed to look like presents. I got some shopping done but I didn’t buy anything special that I couldn’t buy anywhere else. The good news is the missus likes going on a shopping spree and I give her a few quid and say they’re from Santa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really does put Derby to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
