Ekona Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Y'know, when you stop worrying about what the finished article looks like 'cos someone's only going to rip it all off in a few days anyway, it's a very cathartic experience Everyone else all organised and sorted I take it? Quote
GMballistic Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Been ready now for a week or more. I usually wrap the presents as I buy them so that's all sorted too. Can't wait tbh as I love seeing peoples reaction's to what I've got them. Quote
Vlad Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Pffff...organised and ready? That's what Christmas Eve is for 2 Quote

14N Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Pffff...organised and ready? That's what Christmas Eve is for Vlad doesn't wrap anything anymore - he dips it! Quote
Vlad Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Haha the way I think about it, when you go Xmas shopping weeks before - you think to yourself "oh got loads of time" and never get anything...but at 3pm on Christmas Eve you kinda have to find something saying that, I did get few presents last week, as they had to be ordered! All the rest will be purchased on Tuesday lol Quote

You and Dan will get on well Just spent a couple of hours wrapping stuff but got bored, will finish it tomorrow, mrs glrnet has gone out so got the important ones done. Quote
GMballistic Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 ^^ Couple of hours wrapping stuff glrnet!! How much stuff have you bought then?! Quote
glrnet Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Well when I say a couple of hours, the rugby was on tv Quote
martinmac Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I bought all my pressies weeks ago but found it hard to wrap them with one hand. Not my best work. Quote
jumping350 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Chuck them in a christmasy bag...job done!! After the carbon vinyl horrors of my front lip, rear spoiler and my simulator resulting in 3 big balls of carbon, 2013 can do one with wrapping lol Quote
wizurd Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 no wrapping done yet. keep finding excuses not to do it at least all the shopping bar one thing is done. I've left some of it till Christmas Eve before now. Was surprisingly fun especially since i'd been down the pub with a few mates first. Got some good stuff though. Much more organised this year thankfully. Quote
martinmac Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 At least Lizs present doesnt need wrapping, he wouldnt like it. Quote
StevoD Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) im banned from wrapping gifts after my attempts last year Edited December 21, 2013 by StevoD Quote
wizurd Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Looks like my wrapping lol. It's that or tin foil. Quote
GMballistic Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 ^^ To be fair StevoD it doesn't look like the easiest shape to wrap. What the heck was in there anyway? Quote
StevoD Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 ^^ To be fair StevoD it doesn't look like the easiest shape to wrap. What the heck was in there anyway? i think it was a box of roses haha Quote
GMballistic Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 A cd? I'm guessing an Iron for his Mrs. Women like things like that for Christmas now don't they. 1 Quote

ioneabee Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 past presents for my missus included washing basket wheel barrow hoover attachment and my piste de resistance...... a new wooden toilet seat (which I was under no doubt had to be fitted that day) Quote

My old man once bought my mother a brown gas oven for Christmas. He thought it was a great present as she was always moaning about the one she had. Her face was a picture when she got it. Not impressed at all, ...and she hated the colour. Quote
leonk Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 past presents for my missus included washing basket wheel barrow hoover attachment and my piste de resistance...... a new wooden toilet seat (which I was under no doubt had to be fitted that day) I bought mine a frying pan 15 years ago and she still hasn't forgiven me!

wizurd Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 A good frying pan can last a lifetime! I'd appreciate a present like that lol Quote
