Less that 10 days to go and I still haven't

[timetosmile]

posted two card to Malawi and Egypt, marzipanned and iced the cake, sorted out the freezer before the Christmas food shop........
How are you doing?

don't ask! I also have the energy of a slug right now which doesn't help.

Posted my Xmas cards, thought of something to buy DP, got anything for my Dsis and her partner, oh there's loads, the list goes on and on.....

Posted cards, marzipaned & iced our cake (have done best mates though), bought for anyone other than the kids, thought about what to get dp to open

The list is endless here as well Jcee!

Haven't even made cake - eggs keep being eaten before get round to it, bought present for 18yr old nephew, found appropriate magnets for mum (only thing on her list); written cards to anyone more than 5 mins before seeing them, wrapped presents, checked all have similar amount of presents, found things to occupy children next week, made to do list to work out what else I haven't done yet!

Have not put the sprouts on.......

Crap I forgot about icing the cake.

Posted (ie written) the cards...
Bought my work secret Santa present.
Finished the wrapping (but only 2 or 3 things)

Taken DD2 to see Santa.

I HAVE spent two whole evenings on MN avoiding doing anything. So house is alos like a tip now. Yay go me.

:o not done a thing,nothing to go in stockings,let alone anything bigger.

All the family will be receiving fresh air at this rate

cards not posted,written but not gone into postbox

no list done for food

2 cakes still in tins that need finishing,icing ect

but on the plus side went out for christmas drinkies last night,got totally plastered (should know better at my age),rolled home at half eleven,passed out on sofa,woke up at half two,fell upstairs to bed where dh mumbled something about hello dear I need help :o

I just have to finish wrapping and hiding presents away from a nosey 4 yr old, finish the rest of the christmas cards and I think that may be it.

Haven't sent any Christmas cards. I ordered them online ages ago but they haven't arrived. Another set have been despatched but they still haven't arrived. After finishing all my christmas shopping ages ago, there's no way I'm going into town today to buy more cards.

I need to make pastry for mince pies, do some home made foody gifts, strain the Christmas Pudding vodka and wrap all the presents.

Need to send last few cards
Need to buy last few presents
Need to wrap presents
Need to organise food for the Christmas period
Need to put up decorations
Need to clean/tidy house for visitors
Need to muster up some energy and enthusiasm
Need to get out of bed then really :)

written cards, organised my spare room, caught up on my mountain of ironing, finished wrapping. need to start delivering presents to and get few other cards before i can post them. dd needs new shoes/boots, xmas outfit

i also have 2 sort through dd (18 months) toys and wardrobe to make room for new stuff

i need to scrub my grout on kitchen tiles

give house yet another good scrub down next week and hopefully easily maintain for the xmas week.

the list goes on. STRESS ANYONE?? i keep thinking of new things to do. away for a bath here to have a good think what exactly needs done lol

I have 8 people arriving on Christmas Eve and leaving on the 27th. Presents are almost all bought but haven't got a clue what I'm planning on feeding them all other than Christmas dinner, the house (that we only moved into a few months ago) needs a serious tidy and sort out so they've got somewhere to sleep, and nothing is wrapped. I also promised a tray of homemade reindeer cupcakes for the toddler group Christmas party on Thursday.

Just about do-able, but I've just agreed to do some extra shifts all day tomorrow and Tuesday and on Wednesday afternoon

And currently sitting here fretting about it all but doing nothing about it and drinking wine instead

This weekend we all went to the Panto and dropped some relatives' presents off (and picked some up which I still have to hide)

Posting last lot of cards and parcels tomorrow.

DH has a day off and a job list as long as his arm to do tomorrow.

And when I get back from work I will sort out the fridge and freezer slump in front of a festive movie.

How have the rest of you got on?

So far I have bought present for 18yr old nephew, we have 1 fridge magnet and I have wrapped most stocking presents but not tree presents. On the upside my lack of progress does mean is more to do with the children! My plan is:-

Today - get stocking for ds (girls have posh ones but he doesn't), order cinema tickets (bribe reward for being good this week), get some stuff to make hamper with children for dh. Make good housekeeping no soak christmas cake.

Tuesday - quiet day hoping last minute online stuff arrives. Baking with children. DVD fest.

Wednesday - going out with friends

Thursday - craft + wrapping day

Friday - go to cinema, pack clothes

Saturday - head for the relatives.

Plus each night try to wrap as much of children's pressies as possible.

Think most people will have to get an e-card this year as have genuinely lost most of my addresses!
