Still a fair list:

Last day at work tomorrow (yay!)
Office Christmas Party tomorrow night (wahey!)
Dig all the presents out of the loft (fingers crossed I bought everything)
Wrap all presents (or rush to shops to fill the gaps)
Sort out stockings
Get pre-Christmas haircut
Wash filthy car
Decide what we're eating on Christmas Eve (DDad, DSMum, DSis and family)
Decide what we're eating on Boxing Day (DMum, DSDad, DB and family)
Big trip to supermarket/local butcher to buy the above
Assist the DDs to make chocolate truffles and lebkuchen for gifts
Clean house from top to bottom

Feeling slightly worried now.....

I had another DS, he was 7lb 11 when he was born (3.49kg) and is now double that! Shock He's very scrummy (see profile pics if you want Xmas Smile) and is an utter milk monster, hence the doubling in weight. I hope he slows down soon! (but in a healthy way of course)

Northernlurker · 20/12/2012 00:35

Ice cake
Buy presents - finish stockings, buy for sil and other family. Dh has one parcel so far.......
Buy cat biscuits for cat at cattery
Pack for a week away

Bit panic-stricken tbh
