The C word - my first present!

Well, I find this morning that I have missed the last recommended C*** posting date, surface mail, to Australia.

September 12th, they want?

No way for Australia? Are you sure? I have definitely missed this.

'Fraid so Harris27.

Just off to open up Santa's Grotto pdq and getting the elves on board.

I got MY first Christmas present today. It is our wedding anniversary and DH gave me a dress, which he had bought for my Christmas, but decided to give it now, so that I would get the benefit of it !!!

I dont think I've ever been bought a dress as a surprise.
I hinted to my husband about a very expensive dress I fell I love with, once years ago.
It was off the peg, but only a few were made. He went to London for a business meeting and quietly bought it for me. But said he wouldnt have done so if he wasnt sure I liked it.
Enjoy wearing it Marydoll

The best presents come from paying attention to a person likes.
Your daughter will be thrilled you cared enough to remember she liked the picture,MawTheMerrier

Lovely surprise for your daughter I would think. It was my birthday in July and my friend bought me something I I’d admired in a shop near her I was so pleased to have it.

Relating to Christmas presents I haven’t got loads but have bought several over the last few months if I’ve seen the right thing for someone especially if it’s been in a sale

Oh no!

Well, I have found that unless you send anything by airmail by the middle of October, it won't get there until the end of January at least.

Australia Post is dire too.
Even ordering a card from an Australian website to be delivered within Australia took 3 or 4 weeks to arrive.

I sure she'll love the present and will be pleased you remembered, MawtheMerrier

I've bought theatre tickets for Annie for my GD and DD as Xmas pressies
Thats it though

I have bought both Grandsons presents already. Have started noting down ideas for others and arranged a full day Xmas shopping day with DD1 early November.
I get stressed if I am not done early enough

Saw some mad multi coloured golf balls in the pro shop yesterday I'm getting those for DH he can never find his balls and I have to trip all through the woods to rummage for them.

he can never find his balls and I have to trip all through the woods to rummage for them.

My DH has orange balls, saves a lot of bother! ?
