i have to admit have now read this thread from the very start even after I saw there was a thread lol. you all sound wonderful group of people. I will not tell you about what my husband said when he came in from work one night and told him what I had found. Scrooge could be his middle name when it comes to Christmas even though he is wonderful and helps me put the decorations up as they take two whole days. He is not happy with me wandering round singing jingle bells. unfortunately can't watch any films or listen music as they are all in the loft and area I can't get into but will persuade him to get the films down so I can watch one after doing the first Santa Challenge

Not sure what he says when I go to organized Christmas and download all those wonderful planner pages .

Hello i am Vicky. I am 32 years old. I am here to fuel my addiction for organisation and i am addicted to lists

My name is Kate, 45 yrs old and I am also addicted to lists and on a smaller scale.

I feel like I have found my spiritual home lol My friends say I must have OCD but not the cleaning side - I did have my CD's on shelves in alphabetical order in groups, male artists, etc - do you think that is too much

Hi everyone,

Haven't been on for a few days as been busy decorating youngest daughters bedroom. The majority of it is done now, just the floor needs staining but OH will do that as I can't get down there.

She wants some Twilight pics to go round her room so thinking I might paint some for her, I saw some small canvases in Wilkinsons this morning but didnt see the price of them, they were squares. Might save them for Xmas, will be a bit extra for her.

Well done to Mum2one for getting the £20 voucher from Dooyoo, I think I am up to about £8 so far. Haven't really had time to do many reviews yet but might sit donw tonight and knock some out as OH is at his Mum's and daughter is going Girls Brigade and staying at her friends so I will have the house to myself.

Bought a few more coloured gift bags in Card Factory. Saw a purple one which is the colour I wanted to coordinate with one of my gifts and went it to buy it, the lady said it was 99p or I could have 3 for a £1 so grabbed another couple. Just want a green one now but I am sure they wil be around enarer Xmas.

I am the same and love being organised and adore lists and run to a strict routine most days! I write lists for everything. My husband takes the pee out of me all the time for it and when i am sitting writing a to do list he wil say:

1) write list

2) write back up list

etc etc He thinks he is so funny :rolleyes:

I think we should start a group. I will start:

Hello i am Vicky. I am 32 years old. I am here to fuel my addiction for organisation and i am addicted to lists

I found a notebook earlier this year and on the cover it said "My Lovely Little Book Of Lovely Little Lists"
I had so much fun writing lists in it!
I too add stuff that I've done so I can cross it off and feel good about it...
Oh dear...
Hi, my name is Rhiannon, I am 24 years old and I am addicted to lists!

I too am wishing there was a home bargains down south, nearest is about 150 miles!

ragz -

"My Lovely Little Book Of Lovely Little Lists"

Love it...............:rotfl:Get the feeling I'll be having one of those..................have got one I had bought me that says 'I simply must write that down'............never have used it........seems a shame to spoil it.............lol
I'm not one for doing 'tidy' lists...........I end up with crossings out and what starts off neat ends up c**p !

hello everyone - my name is sarah i am 38 and addicted to lists, l too write a list then add to it just so i can cross if off!! i tried for so long to be creative rather than organised but this really is my thing in life! i have the book 'my lovely little book of lists' its in my bag all the time, and i also have a large book with built in dividers for all my presents - i love it but most people think i am sad! At least i am at home on this thread with people who are just like me and dont send hurtful replies - i love you all xx

I'm a list addict too - I also like spreadsheets.

Currently there are three lists open on my desktop and two more in my Recently Used Documents. And today I bought a little notebook for next year's birthday and Christmas presents cause I can't carry my spreadsheet to the shops.

I wish i knew how to use spreadsheets... I downloaded the from a link the thrifty gifty blog and still dont have a clue how to use it... at the moment my lists are scattered everywhere written down.

Hi I'm Gill - I'm 38 and I'm addicted to lists! :rotfl:I too have a book of lists that I sit writing in every night - OH just looks at me strangely.

Had a lovely dream last night that I was buying large tins of Christmas biscuits that I had to open to make sure the biscuits were okay. Feeling a bit hungry this morning.

I managed to get my DD2's birthday present in Argos this week - an 'I Love Ponies' stable set reduced from £34.99 to £14.99. PLus two extras for DD1's Christmas - America's Next Top Model DS game and Girls Aloud CD from Amazon all delivered fror £3.89 because I found a voucher I forgot I had! :T

Have a good day!
