    PLEASE will someone motivate me to make a list of presents I need and then actully buy them (or any takers to do it for me? :D).

    It's a month till Xmas and I'm starting to get worried that I haven't done anything yet!

    I now have a spreadsheet - who wants what, how much and where to buy. I'm also keeping a note of how much I spend, compared to the prive of the goods, so how much I've saved ;)

    I was panicking yesterday, but feel better organised now :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Why do I never get around to doing anything like that!

    I can't print anything at the moment because I've got rid of the MASSIVE printer that Stu insisted we needed, so I will have to skip the spreadsheet, but I am going to sit here now and at least make a list of who I need to buy for!

    (A spreadsheet for X-mas presents, now that is organised.)

    I bought some X-mas cards today! And I have a few presents bought but I still haven't bought any new decorations or anything as last year's ones were rubbish and I got rid.:p

    I do things like that but spend more time making the spreadsheet look pretty than it takes to do the shopping. My monthly budget and debt tracker is a thing of beauty:rotfl:

    Details off my spreadsheet so far.....£250 of presents bought. Only spent £35.76 because I've used various vouchers, Nectar points etc etc. I was really panicking yesterday, but feel good about that today :T :D
