Well this is the last weekend in June and then it's 6 months into 2004, is this year going by even faster then 2003?

yes.
For me it does, but this could've been to the fact that I didn't have any kind of school until last March. In the years before, school was always the main way in which I counted time, so this might have thrown me off.
God.
It's true what people say about the years flying by faster as the years go on.
I think it's because when you're younger you're keen, and wanting to go out, and do everything, so you pack a lot into each year, and therefore the year seems full, and long.
When you get older you settle in your job, your relationships, etc, and everything gets a bit more routine. Therefore you're doing the same thing, and not going out doing anything new and exciting. The year seems to drag, then you get to the end, and because you've done nothing (or not a lot), then it seems to have just flown by.
There's a lesson in there somewhere that we can all learn.
this years been a big one.
Hey, the thing is though that Woolies have a half price sale on so ive bought stuff for litte un and put them in the loft
And why not. Less money in their pockets, more money in yours. Sounds good to me!
As my mate keeps saying to everyone atm, smile, it'll soon be christmas!
It's the thought that counts.
LOL! If your wrapping paper is expensive you're buying it in the wrong place.
The best card I ever got was from a friend who was broke. She'd cut out letters from newsprint and stuck them onto card to make it and the concept of what she'd done was funny too. Out of hundreds of shop brought cards I can hardly remember any, but I'll never forget that one.
Either you buy a big roll of crappy stuff but then you have to do double rapping so people cant see through. Or you buy better stuff and it costs too much.
I have a huge family! My Dad is one of 7, I'm one of 5 and I have 5 children.
I spose I know what you mean about the double wrapping, but then nobody gets anything from me before the day anyway so it doesn't matter. I'd be inclined not to care if they could see through it unless it was a kid anyhow.
I sometimes use things like padded envelopes to hide CD's and such to keep 'em guessing.
I gave my brother a tightly rapped empty box once as well, its an old gag but was very funny at the time.
I dunno. If I thought an adult was going to be bothered peering at it to try and see the writing or whatever, well...they'd probably just open it and have a look anyway!
That and we have all the gifts under the tree before hand so they have to be sure.
