Christmas 09 Let's Get Organised!!

skylight

Well. Thats my shopping finally started! I used £10 of the amazon vouchers from valued opinions to purchase some Hannah Montana stuff on special offer. Just to wait for delivery now.


One thing I can suggest is that you all start a list of what you have bought/done/put it! Having taken boxes out of the cupboards to wrap I have found stuff I have forgotten about; so I find it essential to keep a list of whats been bought for whom. I also keep a running total of what I have spent.

Edited: on my list of presents bought, I also colour code each line after its been delivered as I can order a lot at any one time (6 kids plus the rest of the family!) just so I know that its arrived, is AOK and is somewhere in the house!

Just saves having another thread if we can all stick to the ones already in place and have been since Jan

I disagree, those of us who are only just starting to organise Christmas 2009 can feel lost and intimidated in the long established threads.

Hi snowbrow and everyone else

I too Love Christmas and love having Christmassy Threads to read. I really got so organised last year with MSE and all the Threads and kind people on here it was great. Love the Organized Xmas Website and there planner pages really helped me organise myself.

I have got most of my presents for birthdays and Christmas this year thanks to a lot of threads on here just need to buy OH's and the Kiddies then I will be done.

Hope you don't mind if I join too, I love talking about Christmas and Love sharring Ideas/ Bargins and hearing what everyone has been upto.

Take Care

You are not at all stupid, it took a while for me to get the hang of as well.

I think a lot start after the Halloween stock has gone, although I'm sure some were earlier than that last year with cards and paper and bits.

I get my cards and paper in January now especially the familiy one like MUM, DAD, SIS SON ect... out of Cardware house get them for around 20p for the big fancy ones...saves a fortune.
