Usually have everything done by now, but this emigration lark has overtaken everything this year . As this is our last Xmas in UK I'm trying to find small presents for my girls that will easily fit into cases when we travel - nightmare . Going shopping today for inspiration.

I am pleased to brag that, YES, we are all sorted (just about) for xmas this year. Unlike last year when we had only been here 3 1/2 months!!!

*All kids gifts bought and paid for (just the wrapping to do), all UK pressies have been purchased online and will be delivered in December,
*I posted all my xmas cards just today,
*We move into our new house (which we have been building all year...) on 20th December, (big excited whoop for that one)
*Xmas tree was purchased last year ( I bought cheapo tree decs last year to go on it until ours arrived - which was after xmas 2004 ) so looking forward to putting my 'collection' of old decs up this year,
*we've been invited to spend xmas day with friends we have made over this past year, which is lovely as they are such good fun and will be having a scrummy lunch and tea with food brought by both families which makes life so much easier.

Yes, all sorted. Thank god!!!

Nothing to sort, Rachel and I wont be exchanging pressies, just a couple each for the boys and dinner at our friends.

Hi, just thought id let you know that we live in Kilsyth near Cumbernauld about 15mins away from your town center.
I usually shop in Falkirk or Stirling (hate shopping in Glasgow)
Thank god for motorways.

I was brought up in Cumbernauld (don't know if I should admit to that ) now living in Larbert, mum and dad still live there though. I'm never in Glasgow or Edinburgh either (not fond of big cities)

Hi,but if you do it just now you will miss all that waiting in queues which i hate.
If i see a queue i just walk away.
Then if you go to Asda it is a nightmare.
Heard that if you go to Asda on Christmas Eve it is quite because everyone expects it to be very busy.
Dont think i will try that.
