Normally I wouldn't start this early,but,
A]we have no storage in this house & if I don't dd2 will get her sticky hands on everything & destroy it.
B]We are waiting for the builder to fit a new fire.We can't decorate until he does & I have a bad feeling that he will do it the week before Christmas & I'll be spending every spare minute after that,slapping paint on the walls so at least one room looks half decent.Therefore present wrapping won't get done.
C] It is a chore.I start off all enthusiastic,but after doing about 3 presents,loose the will to live.It is less stressful to do a few every other night or so.

I have bought all of DD (shes 2) and wrapped them as am due on 5th jan and have a feeling baby may come early my mum and dad know where they are and that to take the ones in disney princess paper as they are for stocking but leave the winnie pooh paper ones as they are from us and I would like to see her open these (maybe in hospital xmas afternoon if it comes to it!) they are hidden on top of our wardrobe with a false curtain in front.

Done 95% of family but everyones main present is a voucher and then for great grandparents etc I have had some new photos of dd taken scanned them and framed them with a voucher!!

I started my Christmas shopping yesterday - I bought ds Josie Jump and PC Plum bath mits to go with his Archie, who's looking a bit glum all on his tod.

I usually refuse point blank to start my Christmas shopping until after my birthday (November 12th) but I've made an exception this year.

Bought the wrapping paper, tags and ribbons yesterday. Busy weekend ahead!
