Ok so at the risk of making you all go AAAAGH and pull the divets over your heads.
There are now less than 100 days to go until Christmas and I have a couple of things to highlight for you
The first is...if you are shopping online, there is a great comparison tool here to get the best deal
The second is some money-saving info for everything from prezzies to food, and thinking about it now will definitely save you cash, here.
Phew, I was a bit worried that everyone would think it was too early but in truth, spreading the cost means starting early, I reckon 
Iv started today and I'm buying second hand too, ghost my eye on lots of things saves the stress
I haven't started buying, but like you IDT i have my eyes out for what i'm actually going to buy, i tend to wait abit to see if the prices are going to come down first
I've had some marvelous things over the years for my lot, second hand.
Having four winter babies (December birthday, January birthday and two three days apart in February - all planned, so I could recycle the clothes!!) meant that I shopped all year round, and had a Christmas club in the local toy shop.
I've always limited myself though to a budget. Any big gifts like an itouch, I give them £30 towards it, and then they put any other gift money they have towards it.
The younger two have been planning the decorations since the end of July - when we had that heatwave!
Thank you for the links. MSE is such a handy site.
Yes it is, I really like it.
I have got quite a bit of stuff already but only really for that friend where we collect weird bits and bobs for each other throughout the year then have a Santa Sack day together, I tell my boys not to get me anything though eldest normally finds something, I don't get any presents myself otherwise.
My "best year" was when I visited a brilliant Jumble Sale one November and got stuff for pence which eldest loved. It is easier to do this when they are little though!!!
this is great, thank you
