Keep meaning to get around it

I've just heard the following dialogue:

-I've packed him extra socks ...
-Did you hide the extra cash in there for him?
-Yes, I did.
-And the scarf I knitted?
-You only gave me a ball of wool.
-I kept meaning to get 'round it.

I think I got the "to get around" part: "hacerme de tiempo (para eso)".

But the "I kept meaning" baffles me a little. I think I understand it but a translation into Spanish eludes me. What that can be? "estuve tratando de hacerme de tiempo (para eso)"?
