Morning all ! Just peeped into my little room of 'stash' and came out quick in a state of bewilderment :eek: Had bits left over from last year and been adding to it...........confused or what ??? Best leave it till I've got a really clear head (overslept this morning -always leaves me fuzzy headed !)

Did find some very festive green fabric while I was up there........quite a bit of it and not sure what to do with it. Run out of notebooks but do have one shoe box left..............might attack that with it and see how it turns out.Must be careful else I'll have more shoeboxes than people who are having pressies.................lol

:rotfl:

Please may I join in? I am organised in that I have several presents bought already, and super organised in that they are also wrapped and labelled. Is that a good thing?

On the (very) sad front I have 4 children and they are ALL going to their respective in-laws this Christmas - it will be the first time ever I have had a Christmas without them. I am not a happy bunny

Oh, Sams, I have told my children (who are all still young) that they must always come to me for Christmas, i couldn't bear it if they didn't! I'm sure I'll still be saying this in 10 years time........!
just been out for lunch and I'm stuffed!!

Hi... I would like to join you too - my other half always wants to get stuff out of the catalogue... more debt but I'd appreciate any help for a paid up Christmas. I've already started putting money aside in an internet saver account. These little accounts are great - you can have as many as you like for saving up for different items. :xmassmile

I know! The youngest are 21 and they somehow think that means they can be independent..... not sure where I went wrong! Need to make plans, cant have Christmas without offspring.

I have started writing in a book I was bought (sort of very fancy note book) lots of memories of me and my sister from our childhood - good and bad (well, mainly good). and I intend to put in an odd photo and maybe draw (awfully) a picture or two. So that's her Christmas present underway.

Hi all

Christmas eve traditions -I spend Christmas with my friend and her 2 girls. For the past few years (and its now turned into tradition) we log onto the santa norad site and regulary check in where santa is in the world and get very excited about how close he's getting to us (the funniest thing is that both girls say they don't believe in father christmas but 'go along' with it for my sake as I tell them that he does exsit!!)
Oh and we never forget to leave out carrots, mince pies and something nice for santa to drink before we all go to our beds!!!
