Organised Christmas 2008.. The countdown has begun!

Ok - this weeks list

1) Sort out new kitchen - ie choose and order
2) Put photos in albums
3) Have canvases made and put up
4) Make fudge
5) Strip paper in boys room
6) start snowman soups
7) sort coats

Will do mini day to day lists as I find it easier that way to incorporate my aily bits and bobs.

Had a great DS1 birthday/halloween day. Great but v v hectic. Just got back from a halloween party and totally worn out - me as well as the kids!

findingmyfeet - sorry to hear about your dog - it's always sad when a pet goes. Sending you hugs.

This weeks list will be:-

So today I have to help set up the PTA's bonfire and firework evening and go back tomorrow to help clear up - so not much OC will be done this weekend (again!)

Have a good weekend everyone!

addicted to lush get those pics up.. it doesnt matter how big they are I love it when it is freezing.. really feels like christmas.

Sugajen you must be so busy with a baby due! I didn't realise! Is it your first? The best think about a baby close to christmas is that you can have the first hellish 6 weeks in a blissfull tired state just shopping at crazy hours and getting by when you can. It was a strange but really special christmas when I had my boy on the 22nd december. (Hope yours isn't that late LOL)

KaloJac Those hampers sound absolutely brilliant and I am thinking of doing one for my kids now. You are a seriously lovely aunty for making them. I only ever got rubbish from mine!!

Tigger888, I know there is a thread for it, but what are you going to put in your christmas ever hamper? I think I might make one of those too for us to come back and open as a family on xmas eve. Well done for doing so much on your list.

RoxieW Hope you have recovered from your party well enough to have done your list LOL What did you dress as?

jasmine from the north I like the idea of a gift list to buy from. I have tried asking my family but I get a load of uhhmin and arring back LOL

glitterycloud I dont know where last week went either?! Infact.. where did last month go?! I remember saying to my DH "October is a long month it is going to go so slow" How wrong was I..?!

findingmyfeet I am so sad for you. Pets are like a member of the family and to lose one so suddenly is just heartbreaking. I hope you have had time to grieve and feel better now xx

itsybitsygoth I like your thinking, I need to start sifting through the bargains and filling my cupboard up now too but how do I stop myself from eating it all when night time comes!!

shevs I can not believe you have finished all of your christmas shopping. Are you for real lady!! You are super organised

RoxieW

i was a witch - a very pregnant one at that! Not very original but I had a little werewolf and alittle skeleton pirate with me so they made up for it! 2 parties in 2 days so hopefully having a bit of a chill today.
On top of the generally clearing up bits and bobs I have to do I also want to go look at some kitchens, pick up cobys ds lite and have a go at fudge/snowman soups this weekend

Pinkladymel, No its not my 1st, its my 4th!! and last let me tell you!! he's due the 18th so I hope he isnt that late too. I need rid of the bump so I can carry shopping bags oooh and i'll have a pram to load up with shopping too.

I like to go to the shops and get stuff myself unless its cheaper online, but im finding it difficult to spend alot of time walking round so just watch me go when baby is born.

Right gonna find my list and make a start on something, im sooo determined to get through loads today. (oooh maybe im nesting)

jamtart6

hello everyone and thanks for hugs and sympathy. Dog has been ill on and off for months and was only given a few months but still it was a bit of a shock.
not done anything on new list yet, been working today and not been long.
Decided that tonight im going to watch a christmas film and chill. Well the chill bit will be easy its absolutely freezing here have the heating on full at the minute to get warm quicker. I got myself a new hot water bottle from ethel austins the other day. It has a little red wooly jumper on with a snowflake on the front, think i may use it later, pjs on,fleecy blanket, water bottle and maybe sneek in a tub of pringles too.....
