Organised Christmas 2008.. The countdown has begun!

Engadine

I am so behind, was full of good intentions a few weeks ago but that's as far as I got! Have managed to do some decorating that I wanted done before Christmas and finally built my new wardrobe.

Seriously need to start getting more organised for Christmas, having 16 on Christmas Day so need to be organised. I have started buying some presents and have got some cards, have ordered some wrapping paper and other bits from M&S website so at least I have done something!

Major effort required this week!

I am feeling really festive this morning, I have been looking through my calender at all the christmassy fun I have lined up for December and I cant wait. Unfortunatly though I do have to work so that is putting a bit of a dampner on my festive mood. I am really looking forward to November when everybody else beside us Christmas nutters start getting excited. They had lots of Christmas decorations up in the Trafford Centre this weekend and they are all up in Manchester City Centre.
