....... so I am no longer in denial - I'm in panic mode

Got my decs up, cards nearly completed ( most have gone!), presents nearly bought, Christmas cake made and maturing in airtight container with some brandy , loads of crackers on standby, boys home ...... so that leaves wrapping, food-shopping ( loads of it), the booze buy up, a few more pressies to buy, and bedroom sorting for guests......

C'mon how are you doing? Have I caught up with any of you yet?

Im having a day out tomorrow just to walk round Norwich City to take in the christmas spirit(no shopping),unless its for me!!!, out to lunch and generally enjoying the run up to christmas. All i need now is to get rid of this stinking cold,ship me mother and me inlaws to Iceland and I'll be one happy person!!.

Right.......

The tree is up and looks very festive.

Cards are all done and sent.

Some more pressies to buy.

I have to wrap all the presents and there are soooo many of them

Packing to do.

Food still to buy for my fake Christmas on Sunday..........oh good grief there's still plenty to do.

LOL Jules I hope you get rid of the cold but I don't think you'll get rid of the rest of the family as easily

Yes Shirley, I'm in panic mode too. Most of the presents are bought, however need to be wrapped. Need to make one last run to the post office. Tree is up, most of the lights are on the house. We don't do Christmas Cake, so I don't have to worry about that. Need to get our guest room tidied up--it's a dumping ground. And, of course, clean, clean, clean.

Love your phrase "booze buy up!"

I'm totally cool, calm and collected FOR ONCE!! This year I'm ahead of myself, presents bought & wrapped, cards written & sent, tree collected from Cannock Chase and decorated and all the house lights are up. Only have to buy the food over the weekend and we're all set to go. I'm sooo pleased with myself because every Christmas Eve I aim to get the kids to bed and settle down in front of the Christmas Tree watching crud TV with a glass of Baileys in my hand. Unfortunately this never happens and we're usually still wrapping presents, totally frazzled at 2.00 a.m on Christmas morning!!

I'M EXCITED!!!
