Giggle

I dont know if any of you on here make and sell gifts but There is talk on another forum about trading standards are telling people that they can no longer sell products that look like food in any way a few of the peopl i know have had letters about this they make soaps but so say there not the only people to have been told so just thought i would let you know just in case


P.S not sure how true it is yet or even if it is true

I think i'm going to slightly alter my folder and have it as a Household folder, with sections for Christmas and birthdays.

I need to organise my life in general and I think the folder idea is really good but I don't really want more than one. (thanks mum2one for the fab idea ) I think if I try to get some organisation going, it'll help clear my head a bit, if that makes any sense

Wow sugarspun -that is super organised, all your presents bought!:T

Goodluck with the impending arrival.

Hayley that sounds like a fab idea, my whole life needs organising too.

Thats a good idea to have it as a household file, everybody works differently, thats why I put a few suggestions by each topic, was meant to be studying, this afternoon, but got v distracted by organised xmas website, got big list of things I want to print off - my old printer died this morning, emergency Argos visit, so got to test the new one out!! xx

hayley -like the idea of combining birthdays and christmas -I've got a book for them but its not always easy to find people/dates etc. I'm sure I could do one better. I need my life organising as well..........(and my head..............lol):rotfl:

Hey gang,
Sorry I've not been about much- internet has been off and I have been tired so lots of napping to get rid of the tail end of my bug.
Today was a bit more eventful than yesterday. Set up my dividers- have a christmas section for my family and OH's famly and then friends and one just for OH and have joined up a couple of others (like countdowns and challenges etc) so that have still got all the important (For me) bits.
Then did a list/chart of everyone I have to buy for per category, if decided what to buy, if bought, if made up and if wrapped and then each person got a page with the hamper theme etc at the top right corner and then a list of what to get.what I've got and (once I have it) the price in the right hand margain.
I have also gone through all my drawers and 'stuff' that I had picked up for christmas and birthdays and never got round to using and allocated most of it depending on theme.
phew! am very pleased lol

I don't have anything to update you with yet but I thought I'd come lurk over here and congratulate everyone on their progress. It's a bit weird elsewhere on the forum today, I'm keeping a lowish profile.
