Are you addicted to lists?

frugle

Thank goodness I am not the only one "my name is ........ and I am a list addict" I feel much more reassured knowing that there are others like me out there :rotfl:

Wedding = NEW Pukka pad and not just the small one the A4 one with dividers that are so over priced but I love them and have to justify buying one and our wedding was the justification I needed! YAY! OH was shocked that I spent £6 on a "note pad" I made a dissmissive noise and said this is not a normal "note pad" this is a "PUKKA PAD" and this for the next 18 Months will be our new family member.

The pukka pad is the first step in the wedding lists, I have written an estimate budget section at the front then subdivided the rest of the pad into main sections, Church, Venue, Photographer, Food, Flowers etc then subdivided the main sections in sections ie Church readings, Church decoration etc and then the fun begins I get to fill these sections with lists eek! I also love spreadsheets, but we are not getting married until 2013, so the spreadsheets will get into full swing next year. And yes OH does know i'm an addict but his life is much more organised for it!

Also does anyone add extra tiny things onto their "to do list" so the list looks really long and then you can cross them off quickly

I'm right with you there! Mine is divided into Wedding Party & Guests, Venue, Food & Drink, Decorations and Budget. No subdivisions though, although if something starts taking over a division it might warrant a coloured tab all to itself... I find that too many divisions and subdivisions=major confusion and brainache .

Yes. I have a four-page 100-item To Do list which goes into ridiculous amounts of detail. I get a kick out of ticking things off, so it makes sense to have lots of little things to tick!!

haha I do both, I'm constantly adding, I also got a "black n' red" smart ruled note pad which is awesome for lists so I now have a hard copy and electronic copy of my lists. Plus I can take it with me when I go to my wedding appointments

I actually think wedding lists are taking over my life :-s
