Consummate delegator - not at all right - I'm a constant worrier but don't plan in front

Eminybob · 12/12/2015 08:46

Consummate delegator. Which I suppose would is true as DP tends to do the lions share when it comes to Christmas dinner, or any roast for that matter. But we tend to just do the day with the 3 of us (although you would think we were feeding the 5000 the amount we cook!)

A Consummate Delegator...TRUE! I have never cooked Xmas Lunch. If it was left to me I would pre order ready prepared from M&S!

Military operator

Don't agree. I have to be organised with 4 kids, but I'd hardly say I'm that heavily invested in the whole thing!

BeeMyBaby · 12/12/2015 08:53

Consummate delegator. True as if the DDs weren't around I wouldn't bother and would happily just eat cereal and chocolate and lie in bed all day.

cuppawithbiccies · 12/12/2015 08:55

Consummate delegator - however most of the answers were irrelevant so had to pick one at random. agree with others - bit of a rubbish quiz really

FlyingGoose · 12/12/2015 08:58

Consummate delegator. I am not one of those at all, I like to do everything myself.

christinelucey · 12/12/2015 09:00

Im a last minute pull it together, sounds about right!!

tiameg · 12/12/2015 09:21

Military planner. I would agree with that - I wouldn't get through it all without being organised!

RiSo · 12/12/2015 09:24

Consummate delegator for me, which isn't accurate at all! I organize and plan all through the year and we have a great family Christmas.

Doublebubblebubble · 12/12/2015 09:25

I prep everything the night before. However that normally falls apart by about 9:30am after the presents and I wing the dinner... I never let Xmas day bring me to tears!! Its just a roast at the end of the day lol x

Doublebubblebubble · 12/12/2015 09:27

Couldnt load the quiz

FondantFancy66 · 12/12/2015 09:39

Military planner. Sounds about right.

WowOoo · 12/12/2015 09:46

I came out as a military planner, but I'm not really.

I couldn't answer lots of the questions. I quite like the look of novelty bin bags, but would never buy them The toilet roll looked like a nice change from plain white too.

Military operator - actually no, not at all. We put up a tree, which is still in the loft, and don't bother with Christmas cards unless it would cause offense not to give them out. Really just try to get through the holiday period with as little hassle as possible.

Consummate delegator

shellywkd · 12/12/2015 10:20

First-time Thrower which amuses me loads but probably is right

LEE88 · 12/12/2015 10:20

I am A Consummate delegator according to the quiz!

jezza270 · 12/12/2015 11:14

I am a military operator. Good description.

createbeauty · 12/12/2015 11:46

I'm a Military operator, apparently. Sounds about right. :)

thekiwibex · 12/12/2015 11:53

Ha ha, not surprisingly I am a consummate delegator!

HeadfirstForHalos · 12/12/2015 11:55

Consummate delegator , which is partially true, I do a lot more than it suggests though 😀 I just refuse to be a slave to Christmas, everyone pitches in and everyone has fun. Also a vegetarian so one of the Q's was tricky.

Allalonenow · 12/12/2015 11:59

First Time Thrower here, which is hilarious as I've been in charge of Christmas since back in the mists of time, maybe I'm putting too many fresh twists on Christmas!! Xmas Grin Xmas Grin

Katherinee11iott · 12/12/2015 12:19

Military Planner lol

cendboy · 12/12/2015 12:27

Last Minute Pull-it-together. Pretty spot on!!
