Military planner - Very surprising. Although being a single mum I guess my planning skills have improved.

Military planner

Consummate delegator - Not sure that fits me really.

swampthing1 · 12/12/2015 14:55

Military Planner - very true I start buying as soon as the kids go back after the summer hols.

Joan049 · 12/12/2015 15:02

Military operator, doesn't feel that way at all. Meticulous planning? Maybe I've been doing it for so long it appears that way.

MakeTeaNotWar · 12/12/2015 15:13

Military planner! Definitely not, don't even have a kitchen at the moment!

Funkyferret · 12/12/2015 15:39

I'm seemingly a Military Operator which is nice to know as I don't feel organised at all!

Indantherene · 12/12/2015 16:19

Consummate delegator apparently. Some of the questions had no answer, especially as we are vegetarian.

littleme96 · 12/12/2015 16:48

I'm a Military operator which I would agree with!

Gedge · 12/12/2015 16:53

I'm a "Last minute pull-it-together". Sounds about right!

Blimey - they must be psychic - spot on !!

easter1965 · 12/12/2015 18:11

I'm a Military Operator (which sounds awful lol)
You've been planning your Christmas festivities since January and - if time and money allowed - you'd happily do a full run-through of the day in advance just to make sure every tiny detail had been considered. The upside of all this meticulous planning is that, unlike everyone else, you can actually take it easy on the day itself, knowing everything has been organised to within an inch of its life.

chrisfc99 · 12/12/2015 18:13

Military Operator - I was surprised by that!

LeeR1985 · 12/12/2015 18:36

First Time Thrower.. definitely spot on!!

dragon60 · 12/12/2015 20:00

Military operator, yes I am organised & efficient, trouble with these quizs there was often not any option that was really me e.g, tree are on the tree allready

beeelaine · 12/12/2015 20:07

oooh Military Operator. However, the quiz did not ask about the actual results of baking and cooking (which in my case is on par with Ria from Butterflies), so very pleased with that result! haha but having said that Christmas is virtually sorted here now, just the cards to write out and we are sorted.

hannonle · 12/12/2015 20:30

Consummate delegator, that sounds about right.

EasterRobin · 12/12/2015 21:05

Last minute pull it together. That sounds about right.

swanlady2000 · 12/12/2015 22:43

Last minute pull-it-together - Which is about right, I have invited loads of people round for xmas eve and still haven't sorted anything out or even made a list of food etc. I still have xmas presents to buy and haven't even bought any cards yet - but somehow.. I always seem to have a great Christmas!

KittyKat88 · 12/12/2015 23:30

I'm a Consummate delegator apparently! Blush I read that as 'lazy' which I'm not!! However, if people want to jump in and help I wouldn't stop them!! Xmas Grin

Military planner... strange, I'll make sure everyone is looked after and then get drunk

glennamy · 13/12/2015 00:49

Last minute pull-it-together... hahaha, always have the drinks flowing for a good old knees up! Merry Christmas :)
