A week to go - what do you still need to do?

[DonaldDucksTowel]

I just need to buy 1 more thing for DD1, chocolate coins and a card for my Mum & Dad
Need to finish wrapping which I’m hoping to get done today
Then I need to do the food shop at weekend
And that’s it! Feeling rather organised

What’s everyone still got in their to do list?

Pretty much everything! Been working and visiting my Mum in hospital daily and haven't had the energy to get into the Christmas spririt yet.
Adults will get a token bottle of wine, etc and I have managed to buy for the only child in the family.

DH can do a food shop at the weekend.

Wash the windows, drop off 1 more load of parcels and then pack. DP and I are buggering off on a European city break and leaving everyone to it.

Pretty much everything! I've got a couple of days off later this week, so will blitz the house, make up beds (I'm hosting this year) and buy the last few gifts (done most shopping online this year). Friday night is the big food shop as I'm working on Saturday. By Sunday, I'll be in the pub, all being well!

I'm buying our Xmas veg today and all the animal feed to last us into the New Year. Then I've got to wrap presents.

Aside from that I've got to fly to San Francisco and back, but I need a couple of bits from there to add to presents, so it's ok.

Not a great deal left to do but I still feel frazzled!

i need to

• make the gingerbread house ([probably bake it on Sunday and let the kids decorate it on monday)

-Quick tidy of the house -catch up on laundry -make a birthday cake for DS1s birthday on Saturday -food shop (me and DD get up at 5.30am on xmas eve to go to the massive sainsburys so we can be there when it opens an hour earlier than normal (so a lot of people dont realise so its still relatively quiet!) -make the trifle -sort the xmas eve box (basically locate the new pjs ive bought, chuck in hot choc and marshmallows, new xmas book)

Food shop and cards.

Still waiting for one present to turn up but its an eBay one I didnt realise was coming from china as specifically searched for a uk seller, so not convinced that will turn up in time but a lot of the rest is already wrapped. Any last bits of food I will send dh out for on sat probably, but we should have most of it delivered from Muscle Foods which I've never tried before so hoping its not rubbish but if it is we will have time to replace it.

I desperately need to sort out the laundry that im strategically ignoring.
I need to sort out presents for my grandparents. Im thinking of going down the lazy route and buying vouchers. They dont like anything!
I need to wrap pretty much everything. Im strategically ignoring that too.
Build a toy garage that looks like it needs 3 degrees to put together.
Write a list and do the big food shop on Saturday.
Jeez I wish I never came on this thread, ive scared myself!

I need to drop some presents off with friends and do the food shop.

Today, tomorrow and Thursday I'm waiting for deliveries. Oh, and Saturday too.

Frazzled aint the word. Vomiting bug in our house at the minute, I have a load of shit to do for DH business, still need to get my turkey and ham, still little bits of presents left to get, Oh stop, I am up to the 100s anxiety wise, but I love Christmas so I am taking 10 mins here to have a browse through mumsnet when I have 100 other things that need done. Merry Christmas ladies xxx

Wrap the presents, think about buying some food, write a talk for a carol service, a Christingle service, a midnight mass, and a Christmas day service...
however I have to take a couple of funerals, school assemblies and welcome schools to the church to do their Christmas plays before I can get to thinking about the above.
Did I mention I was the vicar .
