Panic on the streets of Chesville


At 4.55 this afternoon, I suddenly realised that I haven’t yet bought any Christmas presents.
How the hell did this happen?
I was making plans and writing lists back in October, how have I ended up so disorganised? In the past it wouldn’t bother me, but I’m in love now, and I care about my sisters, and I want to get them all something meaningful, instead of just my usual “that’ll do” presents.

Tomorrow’s my last day off until Sunday, and the rest of the week at work will be busier than a Liverpool A&E department, so I’d better get as much done as I can.
If you can help me with any suggestions for the following, I’d be eternally grateful if you contact me:
Present for my girlfriend (she’s sporty and gorgeous)
Present for my older sister (she’s tall and a nurse)
Present for my older sister’s girlfriend (she’s also a nurse, and has beautiful eyes)
Present for my younger sister (she’s dramatic and emotional)
A card for each of the above
A week’s worth of food for each of the above
Presents for Ted & Beryl
Presents for Ted & Beryl’s family

Should I buy my pets a present? I never have before, but I’m getting increasingly sentimental in my dotage. What do you buy for a cat and some goldfish? I could just give Gerald the fish to eat, then I wouldn’t have to buy them anything beyond a headstone.
God, I’m losing it. I’m gonna have a coffee and spend all night shopping online.
