I said at the beginning of the year I'd do a timetable for de-cluttering, housework, card making............in fact all the stuff I told myself (and everyone else) that I'd do this year..................haven't done it yet.............lol
I really must..............I even found an Organiser book in the charity shop with spaces to list 'stuff to do' and a section for Christmas/birthdays but its too nice to use......plus I found it around March time.........so think I might start that afresh next year and make do with my spare diary for now.
Then I just have to make sure I stick to it..................lol

Having mentioned tie dye socks the other day, does anyone know of a cheap source of fabric dye? Up until now I have been buying Dylon which comes out very well but is expensive and only worth doing for a large quantity - which is not ideal if you want to do lots of socks in different colours. I almost need a pallet of colours where I can use a little at a time.

Mary, your idea of a timetable is a really good one, think I'm going to do that otherwise I fear I will end up in a mess, I want December to be stress free this year so we can enjoy the run up. Just need to find the time to create the timetable...:rotfl:

Got some fab bargains in Ikea today for hampers - my best was 48 vanilla scented tealights for 50p! Going to break the pack open and split between several gifts. Also a great big tub of plastic beads for jewelery making - 79p, perfect to add to a craft hamper for a girl
