Read on the news that Xmas shopping is being done more and more on the web

OK nothing outstanding there!!

Except, the BBC claim that Xmas online shopping will account for 40% of all retails sales this Xmas period

Now I reckon it's way higher than that!!

I've done ALL mine from the comfort of a sofa!

What about you lot?

[serious bit of consumer research here!!]

Yep most of ours done via the web (e-bay etc), just a few bits via the shops, such as choccy!

Year before last even had the food delivered via Tesco's web shop, every thing good quality and all there :bow: Delivered Xmas Eve...Will do the same this year as well.. :yo:

no option for your partner dragging you round the shops "with a bad foot" to "look" just to make sure, before buying the stuff on line!! :bang: :bang: :bang:

I'm the one who

freakin hates Christmas. Wasn't even that keen on it as a kid. I do my best to ignore Xmas as much as possible without offending friends and family. SWMBO does all the shopping including her own pressies. I just pay!!! For me Xmas used to full of great expectations followed by great disappointments. Now I don't expect owt special and you know what....I'm not disappointed! Seriously, I've got everything I really want so what can peeps buy me? I know: penicillin lol We should have Cristmas in early January when the sales are on! Bah humbug! :bang:

I do a LOT of shopping online all year round, and christmas even more so.

I HATE hunting around shops for some inspiration, then queueing up for a till, then trying to get it home on the bike. By comparison I work from home and every couple of days the postie knocks the door and hands me what I've bought online in a brown jiffy bag. See, it's already wrapped too! :yo:
