Hi jamtart6, sorry this is a bit late getting back to you. Can never pin DS down long enough to ask him anything. Anyway just asked him now and he said it sounds like you saved something else over the file, in which case it probably is lost. Sorry hun. Really did want to give you some good news.

Hi,

I've been following this thread for the last month and have finally read through the last ten pages!

I thought I would join if that's ok as I am nearly organised, but just need a bit of a push to get things done rather than readiing this thread in the evenings!

I have all my pressies apart from one. I had 34 to buy for and did start in September. I haven't wraped anything yet - I need to be in the mood- glass of wine and a mince pie on the go!:xmassmile

Have written cards, just waiting for DD 1and2's school photos to so I can just pop a small pic in to certain family members.

Tree is up in lounge, fireplace sorted, next dining room and kitchen! I normally leave it till the 2nd week in December, but the last three Christmas's have been pants with various things happening, although just having the kids and hubby there have made it for me, but have not had any real festive spirit the last three years. This year I feel different and want to make it a really good one, so we put it up yesterday and it looks lovely - feeling v. festive now. Also bought some more decs - shouldn't have done really, but found some lovely ones in Raspberry Village for fireplace.

tomorrows jobs are
clean bathrooms
go to school craft fair in morning
wrap 80 books - for school - presents from school to children after their xmas party
Sort dining room
Start wrapping family/friends presents - evening when dh is out galavanting!

That will do for tomorrow as wrapping will take most of the day!!

Now off to bed as very tired and will prob be up late wrapping tomorrow night.

Morning Everyone:santa2:

Well I didn't manage much of my list yesterday only a bit of washing and paying the bills.:o

The Snow stayed all day, and the kids school was SHUT!!! :j So we spent most of the day outside in the garden making snowmen:snow_laug , then took the kids to the park for sleding...........then watched Santa Clause & Santa Clause 2........It was such a nice day!! (Although I did feel sorry for anyone who had to work and drive about as conditions were really bad), there is still some snow stuck about in places this morning and lots of ice too.

But what a wonderful winters day!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Triggles and Mr Triggles you must be so excited.

Thanks to Jamtart and Pinkladymel for starting the new thread so we can all continue to be mega organised next year...and not just for Christmas :j

And a big Thankyou to everyone for keeping me motivated over the last couple of months.

Sounds like a disaster furrypig :S Hope you get get it sorted.

I'm sorry if I have caused any confusion. Myself and JamTart both have the same people visiting our threads so we decided to conjoin them. This thread needed restarting anyway as it is getting too long.
