PIC: The WhatsApp chat every Irish couple is having in the lead up to Christmas

The struggle is real.

Christmas is closing in fast and people all over Ireland are about to enter the "panic zone" because they haven't gone anywhere near the shops yet.

The last minute rush happens to those people every year and there are two good reasons for it - they hate shopping and they don't have a clue what to buy.

JOE reader Tadhg Walsh is one of those people and he's in a bit of a bind at the moment because he hasn't got a present for his girlfriend Elaine yet.

He tried to find a solution on WhatsApp yesterday, here's how it played out.

Does that look familiar?

Best of luck, Tadhg.
