Once again, Santa and the elves will be answering all email and accepting emailed gift lists! All letters to Santa will receive a response -- however, it is possible that not every question will be answered due to time constraints on Santa and the elves. If you do not receive a response it could mean one of several things: your return email address is set incorrectly, your email to Santa got lost in cyberspace (it happens), you are blocking email, or the response got lost in cyberspace. Please check your return email address in your mailer before sending a message to Santa!
Likewise for people still using Earthlink, if you have their challenge-response set-up you won't get a reply without approving email from SantaClaus.com or SantaClaus.info.

Hi all, just to let you know that i am following the thread, and trying to be organised this christmas, that would be great! Get better each year at it, but to be sat with my feet up, a week before christmas would be a dream.... Ive got a load of spreadsheets going on at the mo, for other stuff aswell - wedding savings/budget, meal planning/monthly shopping list and budget, and now started on christmas! A list of ppls cards to get or make (do some x stitch ones too) and a list of ppl buying presents for, and a budget for each person. My OH thinks im crazy, maybe i should get him on here and show him how organised everyone else is! I just love this site, its fab, with fab ppl and ideas. I feel so much more organised, and already feel less stressed! THANKS

Morning all!

Should have said, I'm PERKY SPARKLY-TOES !! (can't put the pictures in as they class as links, and I'm still too new!)

Yes, bank issue slightly sorted. Had money back, but they have to give me a new account! <sigh> I know why, and I'm happy, but it's a lot of converting direct debits and telling work for my pay!! Will still be complaining that it all happened in first place!

Got 4 christmas presents actually arrived now!! I'm well impressed. Three of them are Hot Deals from Amazon last week - each item around £5 or less and WELL worth it! (Children's toys mind you.) Will be checking their hot deals each week until we have something for each child we're buying for.

Ooooo and my spreadsheet is looking lovely and shiny!! (More of a spreadsheet girl than a folder girl - although I do have a note book of 'makes' I could try!)

Hope flu victims are feeling better!!

Love,

Perky Sparkly-Toes! xxx

Lol nope!! :beer: I try with folders, I do! I tried with the wedding (although still had to have spreadsheets for that too! lol), but it's still half done with bits and bobs shoved in to it haphazardly now in a box in the loft!!

I'll stick to what I know best!! lol :xmassmile
