Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Beginning to panic now as I haven't bought one present yet - absolutely no ideas for anyone and don't want to go down the money/gift token route. Nine people to think of. I struggled last year..............help.
F'edge - thats what the internet is for. I find men the most difficult to buy for but my brothers and brothers in law re fairly easy. Whisky, walking socks (I know its boring but they don't buy them for themselves!) and puzzle/trivia books for one in particular. Anything RAF or Rugby Union related. Beauty gift sets, scented candles (I have to avoid these) or reed diffusers (and these!) for ladies - chocolates and other such things avoided. Annual subscriptions for magazines. Got one of those for one of my sister's birthdays last year - National Geographic. Just a few ideas there.

Morning all .Sorry you havn’t slept well Joyce . What’s on your Christmas jumper LB . I havn’t got one anymore ,but they are fun. Forest ,When I was in hospital near Christmas a few years ago we had no chance of doing a proper present shop.So we went to a certain high street store and bought tins o luxury biscuits .
Thanks LB. I think I am going to have to go round SM and pick consumables. I did the candle route/flickering lights last year with the ladies. SIL erupts with certain toiletries so have to avoid. I did outside clock, little chest of drawers, crafts things in the past, but that is wearing a bit thin now.

Night night.
Lay awake for a while and decided I needed a cuppa and a slice of toast. Back to bed after that and hopefully more sleep.
