    Xmas Saver!
    Fantastic!! I reckon I can do that :D ... not sure I have any christmas films though? ... I think DS does though. When does it have to be done by? and as I have 2 freezers do they both have to be done?

    If you havent got an xmas movie, (unless u raid ds), choose ur fav film, ouch 2 freezers!! you have until the 23rd August........ Santas Challange (aug) comes out on the 24th.

    I'm sure we could make it 2 bars of chocolate!! xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Rusty- those scrapooks in Wilkos were they on offer or just normal stock?
    Think it was Sarah who mentioned woolies doing to movies for juniors for £1, cineworld cinemas do this every saturday morning with a selection of 3 films. Children and adults tickets are both £1 and the kids popcorn box things are half price.

    Ur a star, didnt know the popcorn box was half price xx

    Mum2one and choccy thanks so much for doing this, I know it must be takining a lot of time and effort. It is appreciated.
    Defrosting the freezer worked at a brilliant time for me as my plan was to clean the cupboard it's in tomorrow anyway but I'm telling you now with all this work going on, I'm having a cabury's highlights chocolate drink aswell tomorrow and dunking me nana in it.:D

    Now my ducks, I'm sorry, I can be so thick at times, I am just so flummoxed over this planner, I looked on the organized website - don't get me wrong it's brilliant but there's so much info I didn't know what to print or which plan I'm following. The dividers you mention am I to fill in all the info in each section by the 23rd july - ie all my recipes, all my food shopping etc.
    Sorry again, I know it's simple but I'm just sooo:confused:

    I've only just arrived back onto the thread (after having to do some chores that couldn't be put off) and discovered the banana challenge.

    Well as it happens, I did that earlier, watched tv, ate a banana with thick caramel and cream (yummy) and my freezer is the self-defrosting variety, and virtually empty, so I know there are no surprises lurking inside.

    Mum2One, I love your divider ideas. I've always wanted to do one of those 'Wife Swap' type folders where they go into real detail about how the house is run.

    Have a good night everyone.

    Soblivion re Organising Christmas website.

    I'm doing the 18 week one beginning End of August, it's called Houseworks ( think) . So each week you de-clutter or clean one room and also do special occasions projects.

    There are shorter plans you can work on as well if you don't fancy that one.

    Althernatively, you could just print off all their Rudolph club newsletters.
