    Never thought i'd say it but I am shopped out this trip. 4 shopping trips with the car full to bursting each trip has just about finished me off. I had to phone the fraud folks at Bank of America to let them know it was me spending and not someone who had stolen my cards and gone on a spree[:I]

    i do this before i leave home i'm normally so frugal i worry that they'll think all this sudden spending is extremely unusual and stop my card[msnembarrased]

    Every year before I go to Florida I say "I'm not buying presents" and every year I spend far to much. Then come home and say next year I'm not buying presents. I normally buy them early on in the holiday so my last few days are not spent running round. Love shopping in my first week.

    i think that's where i went wrong Nikki, i told myself that i had plenty of time to buy presents and because i didn't really know what to buy it ended up with me leaving it too late, running about on the last night had me super stressed

    it's a great idea about the christmas tree decoration that you buy Paula, i may steal that one and that would be my pressie shopping organised [msnwink]

    I love shopping for pressies! We don't buy for many people - v small family - but I do love spotting things that I know people will love.

    Like Glenda I have a list from family and friends of things they want me to bring back for them. I often pressie shop but not for a return from holiday gift . I get occassions presents while I am there because there is so much choice and the price is usually right. This is fun because I don't feel under pressure I just buy the gift if I see something I like which fits an up coming occassion. It is often Christmas gifts.

    [/quote]We have been visiting Florida since 1990 and we buy a Disney Christmas decoration every year, sometimes even 3 or 4 a visit. Our tree is now so full of Disney decorations we don't really have room for anymore but I still cannot resist. Perhaps we will have to buy a bigger tree this year!
