I feel exhausted just looking at your list! Think I'm down to the veg, milk and bread and reminding DH that he might like to wrap any present he has for me...
Mmm..that really is quite a list. Good luck with that! I'm studiously ignoring the fact that we all need haircuts too..maybe I'll learn how to photoshop lol
OMG....it sounds horrendous when you list it all like that....my list is probably similar...except all presents are bought and wrapped....haircuts are voluntary....plaits are avoided.....Santa goes hungry.....and no creeping needed....DDs take own filled stockings to bed.....open in middle of night....and go back to sleep til midday!!!
Truffles and fudge are on today's list for making.
I'm much less orgnised than this. I haven't finished shopping, let alone wrapped anything. Don't even know what food needs buying for Friday. Yikes.
Oh my . . . what a long, long list!
I'm in pretty good shape. Need to address and mail xmas cards (DH was supposed to do it, but it hasn't happened yet . . . ). I'd like to get something awesome for Henry to put under the tree from Santa and a little something for Paul, but otherwise everrything is bought & wrapped.

Still so much to do!
first on my list is get son home from Amsterdam. his flight is cancelled and we've had to pay more to get him on a different flight with a different airline coming into a different airport. I could do without this stress. Memo to those with young children, you don't stop worrying about them even when they are older!
Your list is quite daunting. I just need to purchase apple and pumpkin pies and cider for Christmas dinner (already got everything else). Gifts and stocking stuffers are located on the same floor of the home as the tree, so once the girls go to bed, I can quickly dispatch that job. And if they stay up too late, I may make them do it themselves! (mine are all teenagers)
I may skip straight to the end :)
Good luck with all that my friend x
Sorry if I got you excited!!!! My post should of course have said 'similar to hers'!!!!!!!
Ok, yes ... I'm the same - better get away from here then!
Good Luck!
I am so glad I am not the only one with a long list! No haircuts or dentist on mine tho' I do have to work on Christmas Eve sadly! Good luck getting thru it!
That is one big list - you seem very organised..Maybe i will pop over there for xmas!!! Things are under control here but I am trying to keep it simple this year. Merry Christmas Mel
you need some real elves to help out!
Wow what a list Mel, We will have a mad dash christmas Eve.
