    i'd say they think i'm obsessed more than crazy! got everything sorted for the next birthday in Feb (which is close already!) but haven't seen anything that grabbed me yet for the next pair in June. although for this Christmas I wrapped and put away so early that I nearly lost one present (took a week of hunting for it to find it in the end!), so i think my home organisation can do with some improvement!!!

    oh yeah - hubs thinks I'm nuts - started my xmas shopping today and have finished all female birthdays upto May.

    Same as others tho - come November when I'm done and can afford a few little 'luxuries' for myself (ie buy my own xmas presents lol) everyone says 'youre so organised. Every Year - you'd think they'd have cottoned on by now - sigh

    :rolleyes:

    My husbands family think im nuts but as someone said earlier while they are all out on xmas eve getting prsents I will be tucked up with my hubby & kids watching a xmassy film.

    Ive bought all the in-laws presents and most of my familys including my kids as they are young and will accept anything so far, Ive even got all this years birthday presents.

    Ive gone one step ahead this year as Ive wrapped them all up and put them in the loft!!

    I just hope I can stop buying soon, or maybe keep buying for 2009 lol!!

    Got a lot of mine (I think) but they're all in the spare room waiting to be sorted out into baskets/boxes of 'who's having what'.............I'll know better then how far I've got.
    Haven't started on Christmas cards yet though..............lol Got some birthdays due in March/April /June/Aiugust then there's mothers day, easter, MIl's birthday as well, and as I make my own I'll do them first.
