    Should I get at least ONE right this year?

    My year has been pretty chaotic for various reasons. As a result I have missed four birthdays (brother, nephew, sister, niece). They will all get their birthday gifts in their Christmas parcels.

    SIL's birthday is coming up. I can almost certainly get HER gift out on time, the chaos having pretty much flatlined (hopefully permanently).

    So here's my question: do I get at least one gift out on time? Or do I just go "Fuck it" and send hers in the Christmas parcel, along with everybody else's, and swear (hope) to do better next year?

    What can you afford to do?
    Customers should always be served . . . to the nearest great white.

      Just deal with it all when you can I realize you don't wanna upset anybody, but as long as they get there at all, I think it'll all be fine. Give them a call and let them know they'll get the goodies all at once.

        I should be able to afford her gift on time ... but who knows ... at this point I'm not sure I want to bet the rent money on it.

        SIL's birthday is next month so yeah, I've got time to see how things roll before having to make a decision.
