What do you still need to do?

[ChristmasPerfectionist]

Sorry if there’s already a thread.

I still need to:

Get a little something for my brother’s girlfriend.
Tidy bedrooms a bit
Clean bathroom
Clean kitchen including fridge
My husband still needs to wrap all of the presents
Collect a couple of food things on Christmas Eve

Hoping this thread might spark me to remember some of the things I’ve surely forgotten!

Quite a bit to do still as have been working up until today. Clean bathrooms, kitchen, and wipe all wooden floors (that sounds like I live in a mansion, I really don’t there is only two of them). Collect the fresh parts of the meals (dh doing that). Get some cards and batteries and do some wrapping. It feels like quite abit but it will be fine

I’ve never needed to do anything.

I only have the cooking and laying out of booze options and snack food to do on Thursday. Will prep gravy and dessert leaving just dinner to cook on the day.

Make mince pies
Finish wrapping present
Make the cranberry sauce
Make the red cabbage
Clean bathroom
Mop floors
Put up blinds in living room
Put a tonne of washing away
Tidy utility that looks

Tidy bedrooms

Wash tablecloth
Put on the mulled wine.

Work just for a few hours.
Small amount of shopping, just salad stuff and a couple of bits I’d forgotten. Will do after work.

Christmas Eve
Pick up meat, pork pie and bacon from the butchers.

If there’s time get the serving dishes out and give them a rinse over ready for the next day.
