Getting the presents wrapped?

[harmy]

How’s everyone going about it this year? We normally send the kids to stay overnight with grandparents to get all there stuff wrapped. Not sure how we do it this week now.

The government have already said you can allow your kids to stay over night at an elderly relative or friends house for the purpose of present wrapping. As long as you pick them up by 07.59 the following morning cause 8am is a dangerous time for covid.

Wife does the majority, i take the wife's gifts to work and use the brown parcel wrap from the stationary cupboard,then stick a red ribbon thing from Wilko's on. It looks class, really traditional and costs nowt other than the bow which I got for a quid about 3 years ago.

As a child I was never sent to grandparents

I'm guessing they would have either been done after I'd gone to bed or whiost at school

Be doing the same as I do every year and not paying one but of attention to what boris has said

Does it get annoying when your other cupboards keep moving around?

Wish I had a pound for each set of accounts I have handed to my boss for review with that incorrect spelling. Grammar is not my forte.

I hate it and get the kids to do mine.

You can’t expect @harmy to think of that...

Wrapping ours tonight when the kids go to bed

 

[look out piano]

Seriously ? when I was a kid my dad and step ma will have done it when we went to bed. My bairn is with his dad now for a couple of days so I'll be doing mine Tuesday night I think.

Honestly, how do some people survive day to day life...

The butler does it while my children are having high tea with their nanny in the drawing room.

The worry is some people will be sending kids to Grandparents to wrap presents and risking lives

The OPs missus had it early on, there was a long thread about it. In the middle of lockdown he was looking for illegal barbers’ ffs.

When I was little, me mam and dad worked full time, there was no on-line shopping, shops weren’t open on a Sunday and they weren’t open late.
Yet, somehow, as if by Magic, Santa still managed to get my presents and wrap them all up and put them under the tree
