Update

I think my Christmas shopping is almost done. I haven't bought anything for my friend's kids yet - I never see her or hear from her - so I'm hoping to get something in the sale for them. Also I need to get a present for the grannies from SG. There's also my mum's friend who always buys SG something. Again, I'm thinking sale.

We're having Christmas dinner at MIL's, with my mum invited too. I'm expecting MIL to ask for x amount per person like she did two Christmases before. I mentioned this to hubby, who had completely forgotten that we had given her money before. I might check my old blog entries to see how much she asked for - although, prices have increased since then...

We've been invited to a wedding in January. I think only hubby will go though. Their gift list at John Lewis went live today so I checked it out earlier. They're asking for gift vouchers, so I haven't bought any yet. If it was actual gifts I would have picked this morning before anyone else had looked at it; I'm not so worried about it being vouchers. I actually checked twice just to be sure.

Went to the shops with SG today and spent £9.xx on some fruit, cheese, apple pie, custard and a bar of chocolate. Tomorrow we're going to get a few things at the supermarket. I haven't done a proper shop since we've been paid, I've just been picking up things here and there. I think that's worse in a way because I'm probably spending more.

I found some unopened Christnas decorations in a gift bag and some wrapping paper.

    Is the cash for your M-I-L a Christmas gift or to help with dinner costs?

    It will be to help with dinner costs. Just read an entry from Dec 2011 and it was £20pp so I will expect more.

    It's so interesting to learn other traditions how holidays are celebrated in other cultures. What type of gifts do little ones like SG buy for their grandmothers? Do mom and MIL like being referred to as 'grannies?"

    We will probably just pick a small gift set of hand lotion or something similar. Yes they do. My mum is gran, MIL is granny.
