I think this year I want to go to a vacation home, rent myself a little tiny-house sort of thing for a week and just escape life. Be alone for Christmas, for some 'me' time.

Just got a small delivery from TEMU with some gifts inside... just to pad out main gifts probably bought elsewhere. Some cute little thingys!

Bought a few more bits this month, got one when I was away so bought a little extra gift to go with it.

I want to get my mum and brother finished next month. Haven't really thought about what to get my dad yet, maybe a plant or something for the garden.

I got mum a diamond art kit when we were away and was going to get an accessory kit to go with it for Christmas. I go over there yesterday and see she's already started on it! Grrr! That was meant to be for Christmas!

I keep getting interested in shopping for Christmas things, but then real life kicks in and ruins my plans and motivation. I am currently convinced again that I just wanna be left alone or something this Christmas.

I get my davings in 1 month so in 1 month I can finish Christmas shopping but.... I need to be a lot tighter with gifts this year as money is grim.

Change of plan for my mother, but I've ordered her gifts. Another person ticked off the list.
I'm not going to buy anything more for Christmas this month.
