I don't want to be the Asda matyr mum. DH works Christmas day, I have 5 kids, in-laws staying for the week and a busy job - so I need to take preventative action. Here's the plan:
I have asked FIL and MIL to write the meal planner and email the shopping list to DH to make the online order. I am writing a list for Christmas essentials (decorations, tree, puddings, gifts for teachers/friends etc) and the older kids (10+12) are looking forward to choosing good value items at Ikea Market Hall and then decorating / wrapping. At this stage everyone is looking forward to it being a team effort. Which just leaves me to enjoy being Santa and have a great time.
What could possibly go wrong?
