Am getting myself in a real flap. Our kitchen extension is due to finish mid to late October, I'm due to give birth to our second DD in mid November and my parents are arriving at the end of November for a month. My younger brother and his girlfriend will arrive mid December. My parents, brother and GF will take a week long skiing holiday between 14th - 21st Dec and then they will all stay until just before NYE. Then my parents fly back to Australia and my brother and GF will be with us for a few dates here and there before flying back to Australia at the end of January.
We have no other family nearby (all in Oz) and I have a lot to get done. I'm pretty much organised for the baby and can't do any cleaning / kitchen preparation until after building work is finished. Any suggestions on how to get prepared for Christmas in the meantime? Lists / checklists? Money is tight and we are doing secret santa for the adults and my Mum, DH, brother + GF will be happy to pitch in and help but tips to divide work would be greatly appreciated.
I'd also like to do things that make Christmas lovely for our 2 year old as this is the first Christmas she will have spent with anyone beside me + DH. We've been to Oz with her twice but it's never been possible to time it for Christmas.
Sorry for the long post but please be nice, hormonal and it's been a tough few months living with building work with no family nearby to help (or escape to!).
