    Justontime - can I be really cheeky and ask you for the list of questions you wrote. My neice is 9 and my daughter is only 2 - so i dont really know what a nine year old is into!! Your jar and folder looks absolutley gorgeous - I hope mine comes out half as nice!:j

    :T :T you were cheeky enough to ask the question I wanted to ask.

    I'd love to know what questions you used too :D
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    I looked at the ones on the organised christmas website - but thought an experienced mum of a nine year old would know better!! I'm a pure scot and am always the one to be cheeky!!:o

    Not cheeky at all, I am happy to help. If anyone wants me to send the patterned sheets of questions I can send them as photos and you can print them out. Please send a me pm with your email address if you want me to send them. I did about 7 sheets of questions and also the jar label, but I will post a couple of sheets on here to give some ideas to those who want to write their own questions.

  • Wow these are brilliant!! I may do some of these for my family also!
  • What a brilliant idea!!!!!!!
    Just looked through the adult questions and thought they were brill to!
    It would be great to get my gran (and everyone else) to do these. Would be nice to know all this stuff about my mum and gran etc, you know erm later in life.
    I love it!!
    Thank you so so much!
    I think ill do them for all the men too even though they prob wont actually do it, it will save me having to think of a gift for them and if they did do it im sure they would look back through the book later in life and think it was great!
    Ha ha
    Thank you thank you thank you
    Infact i might even do one for myself!! :)

    Just to add, I did the retro sweet thing last year and Asda and Sainsbury had Glass biscuit barrel jar things for 99p that would be perfect for this. Also for adult versions where they dont want to be glueing stuff and sticking you could print the questions onto sticky labels so they just peel and stick into the book :) brilliant.
