Military Operator - hmm, possibly.

I'm a 'Military Planner' too and I always considered myself totally unorganised!? That's certainly given my confidence a much needed boost. x

'First-time thrower'. I wish. I've cooked dinner for at least the last 10 years!

Last minute pull-it-together, bit harsh thought I was better than that :-)

Last-Minute-Pull-It-Together?

No way - I've got all prezzies half of which are wrapped (and I hate wrapping) and my Christmas Shop is booked in!

Military operator- have to admit this is me

Military operator , I'd like to think that but not sure in reality that it's true.

Military Operator - probably true as I'd bought and wrapped by December 1st.

I got consummate delegator . I think based on me saying that the centre piece would be whatever my mum brings!
Some of the questions didn't have any answer I could relate to (the what to do after lunch was one of these )

Military operator.

Well, maybe a bit. I'm a wannabe ponce and I really like cooking. I tend to get ideas way beyond my capabilities, so I have a few last-minute stresses however...

I'm a last minute pull it together.

I shop throughout the year and have my decorations ready but Im still unorganised!!!

Consummate Delegator...

I don't think the questions were really suitable for me other wise it'd come out as:

"Laid Back Grinch"

Where are my decs? What decs?
Who's your Xmas inspiration? Oscar the grouch.
What is you table centre piece? A jug of bread sauce and jar of cranberries.
What will your guests be greeted with? Tutting and wondering what they've come to scrounge.
What mince pies? Exactly, what mince pies?
Christmas music? Iron maiden
Christmas TV? No thanks, I'll put Taken 3 on and snooze on the sofa.

Military Planner, which was right! I have to-do lists and everything!

Started this but lost patience with ridiculous answers that didn't fit at all!

Military planner. This fits with my control freak tendencies.

I got last minute pull it together which is about right even if some of the answers didn't fit. For example, my guests will be given a can of fosters rather than homemade punch or Christmas pudding vodka. I think if I gave them something like that the response would be

First time Christmas host

Ehm....no, I am not

The result implies I am a bit too try-hard

That was interesting. According to the limits of the questions I am a last minute pull it together type, which is not quite accurate.

While I don't order an organic turkey months in advance I couldn't leave it the last minute. That's why I have a delivery booked with enough spare time for me shop if anything doesn't arrive.

Oh, and it said I've made a To Do list in my life.

My To Do lists are many and varied and have been for most of my adult life.

Military planner. Yep, sounds about right!

military planner

The first question was weird. They are on my bloody tree!

I got First Time Thrower.

But tbh, not one of the questions had an answer for me. So I just picked at random.

I got Military planner which I would agree with

Military planner, true!
