How many of you do your Christmas shopping online

I am finding each year I'm doing more online shopping, I know it takes the fun out of Christmas shopping but I can't stand the crowds, being pushed around, the rudeness.....

TESCO went on line early and booked my shopping for the week up to the C word day. Us gents who live alone have and hate the day.
Come on here to bring my sunshine down the line on the day. So any one like myself is not with any support. Words of comfort.
Besides on line shopping once you logged in every time your favourites. So this stays on every time. Easy to do click on and that is all done. Started at 6am why not.
Finished by 7 am . Cannot do that at the store.
Great guys deliver it and to the kitchen .Even unpack it. Plus the points make prizes.
By way . My trips turn into a drama as always something happens.
Reason do not shop any more out there.
Especially the continuous repetitive tunes of Cword day.
Makes want to run for cover. Yes I am life president of the grumpy old man club.
Happy shopping every one.

Even now in my manual or powered wheelchair, unless the shop isn't accessible then nothing will stop me

I apologise for your original topic going off subject!

Apparently because of on line fraud. By September 2019 the EU wants to have a directive all payments must be accompanying with digit code only known to the owner.
Although will this apply to us if we leave EU..
Although many banks and financial institution have not told there customers yet.
The other issues have been raised how many have a mobile phone. So the code be sent through mobile phone networks.
Just wait and see what happens.
Take care

leaving it to last minute and all online and on a credit card, plan it right and it is wrapped for you as well.
Filled the freezer Gradually over last 3 months so we will have some bits over Christmas as couldn’t afford it in one go.
I have mixed feelings about Christmas as I find it high debt on a credit card and the cost takes the joy out of it for me.
but there is another side to this buying in the local town or high street has barriers to it:-
COST
Parking
Practicalities of managing my issues- think I can get a NKS Radar Key perhaps?
Carrying the items
So while the browsing is good, the socialising is good, local shopping is neither practical in any volume for affordability or practical reasons.
I do go to a winter market if I can wrap up so I don’t get cold and plan it, but I have only ever seen parts of it as it is a long walk and in sunny but freezing weather it affects me badly.
Here is the link for Radar keys
