PLENTY OF TIME YET, WHATS THE RUSH ????   I dropped my son at the shops an hour ago to do his christmas shopping, but it was too busy for my liking. I,ll probably go back this evening once its quietened down a bit and find something for the missus

I always do my shopping on Christmas Eve.

Most have already done theirs - carpark is - spaces.

Think about what I want to get - go get it.

Never had a problem - and - only get what I intended to purchase.

We get things all year - why the big push for many, many - gifts under the 'tree'.

No credit cards - no debt - come January.

Besides everyone knows I love them all year.

So it is Christmas - for all of us.

I had to go searching for a gift for an 8 yo this afternoon, thanks to the click and collect that Big W said they didn't have..............................and the seller says it's not their issue, it's ebay and Big W.

Near impossible task at 3 pm Christmas Eve to replace horse riding gloves.

Not gifts...

Disgruntled customers say their online Christmas orders from grocery chains Woolworths and Coles have arrived without key items such as hams and turkeys.

From the ABC News website.

I can only imagine how they must have felt.
