99 days!!!

[cherrymonster]

just checked and there are 99 days to christmas!!!! am starting to make serious plans now

yay! i have a whole spr3adsheet of about 8 pages devoted to Christmas! (sad git emoticon )

me too!!! sad buggers aint we

oooooh whats on your spread sheets

well, i dont have spreadsheets as such, more like lists on word. lemme see

list of when bits need doing for christmas cakes
list of what i wanna get for family members
spreadsheet of cost of the homemade gifts i am doing such as bracelets, hampers etc
list of what i am getting for the kids stockings, and where from and price
various recipes for christmas goodies including strawberry and peppermint creams, christmas cake recipe, coconut ice, spiced mulled pears etc
and lots of other lists.

as you can probably tell, i am an avid listmaker, and i have discovered that if i do the lists on the laptop i am much less likely to lose them

I am slightly excited too!

Have attempted a budget spreadsheet (which will probably go to pot) and lists of what we are going to get the kids

im getting excited too!

i dont have a set budget, but i do shop around and usually get everything at a much lower price than RRP.

I have a page of the kids presents,
A page of gifts for others,
A page with my Christmas eve hamper item list on for the elves to bring
A page of recipes on, although that page needs lot of work,
A page of the homemade hampers I was going to do, but I've had a bad reception to that idea :(
A page of Christmas themed activity ideas to go onto their advent calendar
A thing to do page, make stockings get certain decs, advent calendars etc
A page of all the christmassy things I've got to watch, a selection of movies and Christmas specials, got about 40! Hehe
My December planner from the 1st to the 25th detailing a rough idea of the things I need to get do e and things to do with the kids

Think that's it, there was a music list page but that's on iTunes now :)

I love chritmas.............and planning lol

you're a bit more organised than me so far. i love christmas too, fave bit is probably all the lights though.

i love the lights, my dh thinks im nuts though, if we are driving in the dark even car lights send me off into a christmassy spin

i am the same babydubs
