advent calenders for my Kids
I mean, they have been in the shops for so long and I just kept thinking, far far to early, so,didn't want to buy them yet and just realised it's the first of December tomorrow....oh no....!
Have been poorly the last few days, does that count as an excuse?
Will have to buy some extra nice ones tomorrow, me thinks

Me too but mainly because my sis usually gets them for my children. Had to dash around the shops this morning to get some (and they weren't reduced...)

I couldn't be bothered looking for things to fill the pockets but was lucky I was out shopping yesterday and got the older 2 a chocolate one each. They think it is Christmas already as they so rarely get choccy!

I usually, without fail, forget every year. I finally managed to get my arse into gear this year and sort it ahhhhhhhhhht
