I`m so fed up about buying....
I`m so fed up about buying xmass gifts for family and friends over the years, I`ve ran out of ideas! (They have everything anyway) So this year I am, or rather, have an agreement, to handover this task to a good lady friend. I give her £15. Instant 3 xmass gifts problem solved; yeah?
(ps: she works for a charity, which is cool)

Re: I`m so fed up about buying....
i just cant be bothered with christmas, me and my friends have an understanding where we never get each other anything for christmas and i dont speak to most of my family, so i generally manage to get away without having to do much, but i will be spending this christmas with the GF's family so i have to get them all presents, which is a bit of a nightmare

It's the thought that counts, eh?

Re: I`m so fed up about buying....
christmas is a bitch on my wallet. i hate shopping, i hate having to buy presents, i hate having to pretend superficially that i give a damn about certain people that expect me to give a damn about them.

Re: I`m so fed up about buying....
The very maximum number of presents I'll buy this Christmas is one. And I'm not even sure about that.

I can't figure out exactly what you mean. Does she charge you £15 to buy the presents on your behalf, or does she buy three presents with the £15? And I can't figure out the relevance of you stating that she works for a charity.

She will buy three presents with the £15 I give her. The presents will come from the charity, Tradecraft or some similar ethical organisation.
