[harpomarx]

thank you starbear...

You're done??? You mean you just started this thread to gloat at us poor disorganized souls....?

[starbear]

No, not really. I took some days off because last year I was in a total mess. Now I'm sure I've forgotten something but I don't know what. I didn't get any new clothes for Ds and myself but I'm rubbish at buying anything last minute. I don't think Ds & DH would like to be dragged around the shops. I feel there is something missing as I don't have lots of family to visit this year. I wouldn't mind helping some Mum out for an hour or two instead of spending money I haven't got.

[WhatFreshMistletoeIsThis]

Do food shopping
Pick up goose and ham
Wrap presents
Find DS' stocking
Buy DP's present
Buy DP's stocking fillers
Go to work for half day

It's going to be a busy one.

Off to Tescos to buy the 4 things I forgot
Wrap DD1's presents
Buy a ham from butcher

aw, what a lovely thought starbear... actually, I'm not too badly off in the organization stakes, would just rather have done it all a bit sooner and be enjoying these last few days and having mulled wine and mince pies with neighbours. I am just generally a whirlwind of inefficiency. So, I will take my cue from you and get on with it next year!

reckon eandh could do with a hand though, or maybe AmIWhat.

[eandh]

Lol taht looks a long list but in reality won't take to long (my brother is only 10mins away from me and my parents 5 mins from him) plus I am a control freak who cannot/willnot let anyone help me (although will mutter under my breath about doing everything!)

[2pt4WiseMen]
