I have not given Chrismas a single thought until I received your email and my 1st thoughts are that of dread!! I really can not afford it this year and the thought of trying to think of different ideas for people within a limited budget is not something I relish. I don't usually start thinking about Christmas until about October. We have many Birthdays to get through in September first. It is unlikely I will do any shopping online,I havn't in the past. I would normally just pick up odd iems as I see them from October onwards ,rather than go out specifically 'Chrismas shopping'. The only items I may compare prices online are dvd's, books and cd's against Asda who are usually very competative. As I have not thought about christmas yet I have not given any thought to what big presents I might buy. Probably none, looking a my current bank balance. The only store I know I shall be rushing to and looking forward to shopping for presents in is the soon to be opened John Lewis. I would like to see Asda for Christmas stock more fashionable accessories, as in belts, handbags, shoes and jewelery ,at reasonable prices of course!!
