That is fantastic mandymull what an amount! I can't wait to see your outside decs will you post some pics when you do them

Hi che75 don't forget to get a folder to store them in too heheh SOOO Exciting!!

I am like a big kid. I am finding it hard to get things done now the nights are darker, I totally forgot how hard it is to craft once the kids go to bed and it gets dark! On the plus side though.. a few days ago it was sunny and I just had NO motivation at all. The cold and dark just feels and smells like christmas and it gets me going!

Today I continued cleaning the living room. Am SO sick of cleaning now.

8 x Photo Calanders

Doctor Who Tresure Boxes x 2

Personalised Cook Books to go in Hampers

Didn't get chance to get all the paperwork filed sat, just flew out of the window.

Start my batch baking tomorrow, big batch sausage and tomato casserole ready for the freezer.

DD has now added, her swimming instructor, her ballet teacher and the 2 ladies from ballet onto the xmas list......Intend to cheat - Body Shop clearance shop - very handy!

Today I'm doing an inventory of the kitchen: what food do I have, and how long can I manage without going shopping for more than milk and fresh veg?

I'm also going to Ikea when I'm finished to buy some exciting and interesting things, and to pillage their food section too.

Lucky you.I love IKEA,could live there happily.:D

Me and my husband always joke when we go in there about hiding until the store closes and then coming out and living in there if you was homeless. Would be excellent

I finally listed some things on ebay yesterday that I have been meaning to for too long.

I am so excited because on friday it will be 13 weeks 6 days till Christmas and that sounds SO close!!

I have cracked open my stash of christmas mags and am trying to scavenge some ideas.

On organizedchristmas.com there is the brownie in a jar idea. I did this last year and it looked gorgeous. Ideal for teacher presents and cheap.

Hi everyone:hello:, I got my Christmas catalogue today from Lakelands, god you dont know how excited I was to get it through the post. There is a 5 year Christmas organiser in it for £5.99. It has loads of niffty little pockets and nick nacks. It looks really cute and Chritmassy for anyone who is interested, I know I am. It is more for keeping track of pressie and so on rather then an actual guide
