My christmas folder is competed

I am impressed, I have 26 people to buy for and I have sorted 8 of those, and have a list of what I need to get for everyone else!! I am very impressed with my organasational skills this year I must say!!


I am planning on getting my 5 pots of gold/ Snowman soup done by the end of August and the 4 hampers done by the end of August, then all that will be left is a few friends presents and my DS who I have an idea what I am getting him but will wait till nearer christmas to sort his (funds are there though)

Christmas card list sorted, Christmas Recipie section has 4 recipies in there and now I feel a little more organised for christmas I can concentrate on sandind and painting the living room that has been naked for the past 2 weeks!!

Not read back - just an update. Molly Elizabeth was born on Tuesday evening weighing 7lbs 3. She's gorgeous!

Congratulations SugarSpun, that is fantastic news and what a lovely name. I was wondering how you were. Many congratulations to you, Mr SugarSpun and your family xxx

CONGRATS SUGARSPUN - enjoy your baby as you are all organised for christmas you can just put yout feet up and enjoy the festivities and fun stuff.xxx

I'm starting the organized grand plan today as I want it all done before baby comes in november so Im starting a little early - doing list and question week and as I don't have a front porch that won't take long so I'll be moving straight onto living room for cleaning.

It's my birthday today but it's chucking down rain outside so I'll probably get most of the above done. Going to try and get on with my christmas tags too later tonight.

The only thing I won't do yet is a meal a week for the freezer but when dd starts back full time school I'll have a whole day cooking and catch up on these.

Happy Birthday scattymam! Many happy returns!

Really need to get some boxes to put things in rather than carrier bags everywhere

I am EXACTLY the same 98jdougl, I have carrier bags everywhere full of Christmas "stuff" and presents. I have bought these http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/Plastic-Storage/Flat-Folding-Box-Standard-32ltr/invt/0082073?htxt=T0Kv0VKxDT86KbX%2FiKyJIJeULiZRfjmveSMoJXOcr9VHuTsKcPKaaW7wgvKJMI6wAp20gdabGf34%0AHCPGgYOINg%3D%3D
they are collapsible and stack on top of each other but I don't think I've bought enough!
