RIGHT!!!

KITCHEN CUPBOARDS / Draws - will make a start on this as I really need to do this one - as well as stock up on things like forks, etc;

FOOD LIST - will make my list but not sure if I'm cooking this year or not??!! i have to make a baking list too - for all things like rocky road, etc; and get stocked up - so if I can sort my cupboards out I'll be able to make some room for stuff...and this year as soon as I see asda's honey roast ham joints in I will get one - searched all over last year but I had seen one earlier that week but silly me thought I'd leave it!!!

ONE FOR THE MUMS- SCHOOL UNIFORM.
All bought but still in bags - must get it all hung and labels done by next week

CHRISTMAS CARDS
must get some special ones made...and then half write and envelope up the rest of the cards...as I don't want to sign all the cards with baby jacks name if when he's born we change our minds about the name!!

SANTAS SECRET SURPRISE

won't commit to this as I may disappear off the planet around this time with baby being due...will let u know later if that's okay

With the present buying scenario I'm doing pretty okay...want to make my gift tags so I can start wrapping...

Thank you very much Sarah, I qualified too will help make up for the fact I spilt a whole bottle of surf's new liquid one yest!!
Whilst I'm out of lurking mode, just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all, and a special one to jamtart - your links in the blog have inspired me to do 3 mini albums (although nowhere near as professional as the lovely rainmac's one) My daughter is thrilled as at 17, she has more crafty skills than me and with the amount I've spent of the embellishments etc, has lots more stock!

Thank you all for sharing
Allison

Has anyone ever bought theatre tokens and used them, I have not really heard of them before. Maybe I should just stick with ticketmaster.

I've had theatre tokens given to me int he past - could be used in most theatres in London, and quite a lot throughout the rest of the country too. I have no idea where they were from though, but they were very official!!

Great idea for the chocolate hamper Clare.

And how about homemade chocolates, biscuits, snowman soup, snowman poop and making/buying a chocolate receipe folder?

Also, a chocolate recipe book??

Oh dear - I've just joined this thread and it looks like I'll be spending the morning reading through it. I love Christmas, and the only way to love it I think is to get well organised very early like many of you on here seem to be doing. No doubt there's loads of ideas in the 76 pages so I'll be back later

Have a quick look at the blog linked to this thread. It isn't up to date at the moment, but a great starting place (and no chatter on there so it is easy to read through)
