My Mosaic

Yeah I did @Bow

When D graduated last month they had someone doing photos at the ceremony. So got some of the family and the kids taken. So ordered some framed prints for my mum and H's mum. That officially started my xmas shopping! Better yet I could do it from the comfort of my couch!

I struggle going to shopping centre's. Too many people. So most of my xmas shopping is done online.

Did you go anywhere or shop online?

That sounds nice @Snowie

Nah I didn’t go anywhere or do any o line shopping. But I did go this morning and my gosh the shops were busy! I had a few last minute things to get and mum needed to grab some groceries for while we are away.

I think I’ve done most of my Christmas shopping.

Hopefully they will both like them @Bow I got one for myself too, just of the kids.

I find the shops really busy, especially on the weekends. If I have to go I try and go during the weekday and early. Get in and get out before anyone else!

Well done for having most of your Christmas shopping done. I have still got a lot of people to buy for. Did D write a letter to Santa?

@Snowie I usually love the buzz and atmosphere of the shops at Christmas time. Even if I have done all my shopping, I will still go and wonder for a bit. But once it gets too crowded or too many people irritate me, I’m out of there!

I only really have mum and my daughter to buy for. I buy something for my niece too and my best friend. My brother and SIL asked that we not shop for each, they couldn’t afford. I actually like to give gifts. I like to put thought into them. Do you enjoy gift giving @Snowie ?

daughter does write a letter to Santa. I usually pick one small thing off the list as a Santa gift. Everything else is from me. I just wrote our elf arrival letter for mum to leave out on the 1st. We fly back in that day.

I think I’m mostly packed. Was in a bit of a panic cause comm mh hadn’t been with my meds, but they finally arrived.

hey @Jynx

how are you and how was your day?

I'm doing well @Bow thanks for asking! Just went to the chemist, nothing too special haha. What have you been up to today?

I went to the shops early, it got crazy busy very quickly! And then been packing. We fly to Tas tomorrow @Jynx

Oh exciting @Bow! Have you been to Tassie before? It's one of my fav places in the world!

Oh yes @Jynx i grew up in tassie. Moved to sydney when I was 20. D and I are going to visit my brother who still lives there. Gonna take d to some of my childhood places…. Hoping that that doesn’t backfire on me.

Aww cute @Bow I'm sure D will love it! And yeah, could be a tough thing to walk down memory lane, but could also be cathartic! And so long as you're aware you can prepare for it. And as always, you can always come here to vent if you need to 😊

Gonna take your D to see some tassie devils too?
