So.....................how many days now until Christmas 2014?

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

We need a new thread to continue the very successful countdowns of 2013 and 2012.

And before anyone does the face (or face ) take a look at some of the 'Panic Threads' at the end of December when people were "Twitching" and stressing.

Organisation is key.

(I just need to find somewhere that'll work out how many days it is )

its 359 days according to my Countdown to Christmas app!

I'm so glad you've started this!

357 (and 13 hours) on xmasclock.com

(is that till Christmas Eve though? Otherwise there's a whole day missing. A whole day that I could be shopping

I've already bought a few Xmas prezzies for Xmas 2014!!!!

I had a few unwanted gifts to return and both shops had sales on, so I picked up a few stocking fillers for the children as I didn't see anything I wanted.

Much to early to think about Christmas 2014. It's still. this Christmas here and will be until the weekend. f:)

70isa I think that might be to Christmas eve, my app definitely counts to christmas day (as it said 1 day to go on Christmas eve last!) and it says 358 days today

Pink - I thought 2014 was a Leap Year too , so I completely scuppered counting .

357

Seems like forrrrrrreeeevverrr

Bring it on! It's still Christmas till the weekend, but that has only made me keener on thinking about improvements for next year's planning...

356 Hi everyone here we are again! Christmas was over so fast and now we've got soo long. till the next one!

I have an app on my iPad that counts down, and I caught my husband sneaking a look the other day

Right, I'm going to put £1 a day into a pot, to cover the inevitable Twitch. That should do it.

Dusty I save £2 coins in a money tin ( from The Range - £1 each) which opens with a tin opener so no prising open the lid to plunder .

In 2013 we had £200
It's well worth it, we split the money (DH DS DD and I) to spend . Only Golden Rule is it must be spent (DS wanted to save it but he gets Christmas money anyway from Grandparents)

355

and now it's getting wintery

but in a pouring down with cold rain rather than scampering through freshly fallen snow sort of way.

354
The shops were all sad and nekkid now.

A woman shopper in M&S said to her friend "Oh but it's all winter clothes" at the 60% off sale rail.

But it's still Winter . Buy Winter Clothes !

353 putting the decorations back up in the loft today

It's all so depressing and grey with all the christmas decorations and lights coming down I think I'll book a couple of days away next January so we have something to look forward to after christmas. January is such a miserable month!

I have rolled over the excel spreadsheet of combined present list and budget, and added the first purchase to it.

I have also decided that, assuming work is not as mad busy as last year, this year will be the year of Homemade gifts again!! My sewing machine stands at the ready!!

I hate January.

My decorations have gone into the loft today as well. I have sorted through them and filled a sizeable box of things to be sold if we ever get around to doing a car boot this year. I've hung onto some decs for so long and I'm not bothered about them going!

January is a meh month (even with Burns Night to cheer it up)

I like to do nice Sunday Dinners (as near to a Christmas Dinner as I can get away with but no crackers or sprouts )

Plan some nice days out- London (I love London in winter, it's quieter and if it's not tipping down like it was when we went on the 20th, we like to explore)

And having a good clear out helps the January Blues

I hate January too...

Wine is helping

Galaxy from DS Selection box here helping lots

352 first day back at work today, the Christmas channel has gone back to normal and we have lost the Christmas smileys. Noooooooooo so long to wait.

Ah but consider- 2 weeks ago was Christmas Eve................so only 50 weeks to go

I need to get a Grip/Life/Reality Check
