Actually nearly started it today.
See I've got 2birthdays in October, 3 in November then 7 in December (4 in the 3 days before Christmas Day) and 3 in Jan. So I like to get a head start & spread out the cost.

My nephew called my friday to tell me he wants the away LFC shirt - so I'll probably pick it up over the next couple of weeks. We KK at home so I was thinking of asking the rellies to get together for the big draw some weekend soon.

Meh, normally sometime in Decemeber. Maybe end of November. I'll generally be thinking of ideas from November, incase I need to order stuff of the internet.

I do my shopping for Christmas all year round,things just present themselves as I'm going along,and I think that would do for so and so and just buy it,if I am a bit flush at the time.....I start stockpiling my freezers and presses in october and have it finished once the geese come into lidl...Then We sit back and enjoy a stress free Christmas....Been doing it this way now for 16 years,and don't think we could do it any other way.....I enjoy my family and the magic of Christmas too much to let it pass me by ,by stressing.

I do mine all year long

I was going to start next month but then argos brought out their 3 for 2 on all toys offer so I bought most of the toys there and just tonight ordered the last of the kiddies stuff on amazon!

Got most of my stuff for christmas/birthdays.
Just a few small bits, and cards left to get. Nearly want to start wrapping but it's only October lol, I can't wrap them til I've a tree to put them under, that's not for another 2months!! lol

dolphin city

been finished mine since September. I buy all year round when there are great sales - leave everything in the bags and just put them all in one designated spot in one of the spare rooms - then when December comes I go through them - its like opening presents as I have forgotton some of the stuff I purchased.

So now all I have to concentrate on is buying couple new outfits for myself, and buying the Christmas Dinner and drinks. I would HATE to have to start Christmas shopping so close to Christmas.

Im glad to have it done this year especially because once this budget comes out I think people will be holding onto their money and not spending at all, and its nice to know I have at least the presents covered for this year.
