We have alsmost finished DD's presents and i have got all my mums but thats it. I am normally so organised but this year i am way behind. I think this is because i am not in my own house as we are still with my MIL and FIL. Martyn and I are hoping to go to Manchester next sunday, we want to get it all done in one big shop. We got Lucy a loevly Ariel jewellery chest from Costso yesterday

I only received my shopping vouchers on Thursday, so DH and I went shopping on Saturday and yesterday, and only have my Mum and Dad to sort out now!! This is late for us, we usually have it all done at the start of November, as I usually have my vouchers then.

We have already bought cards, just the special ones to get now, and wrapping paper.

Santa presents are also all bought, just DD's bicycle to pick up this week and hide at my mum's house.

It's a really good feeling to have everything done, and be able to wander round the shops, looking at all the poor people rushing!!!

We are going out to a local Hotel for Christmas lunch, and will be at my mum's house on Boxing Day, so very little food to buy.

Oh dear.

I'm really not organised.So far we have got both dd's present's and, hmmm thats it.

Actually i'm not that bothered,told DH that i didn't want to bother buying for everyone this year.Got the kid's so i'm quite happy.If i do get anything else fair enough but, i won't kill myself round th shops trying to get it all.
Bah Humbug

Notice there's no dancing santa's in my post and that's the way it's going to stay.

I'm not as organised as usual I'm afraid, still haven't get Callums mp3 player to do anything so I'm panicking about that, have no idea what to get mum or dad so not doing too well unfortunately

This year we decided to make a good start on sorting out gifts etc for Christmas. We have organised DS's gifts some of which are still to be delivered, we saved our Nectar points all year and used them for DMIL's freeview box, I still need a few items which hopefully I will get tomorrow
after I take DS to school. I'm off work for a week so I will wrap everything and write out the cards etc..
We also bought a Calico Cottage Fudge making kit from QVC and this morning DS and I made our first batch (caramel) and now our house smells like Disney We'll make the fudge and give it as stocking fillers to everyone a kind of personal touch from us
Once our DS's had his birthday I can put up the decorations for Christmas
Are any more Disers this organised this year or may be more so??

All my cards ready to be sent!!!
All my presents (except my mums novelty computer mouse!) baught and wrapped -including my two and four year olds goodies from you know who!!!

I hadn't heard of it before. I love my candles and have bought lots of YC this year both for myself and for gifts. If the candles are as good as they look, I will certainly be buying more from them

I am a YC girl too, and plan on stocking up on some christmas ones when I'm in Orlando However, I like trying new ones as well, and like you say, these look like they are going to be really nice....fingers crossed!

I think they will be great ~ The mince pies look good enought to eat.

I love the YC Christmas ones ~ Nothing nicer in the run up to Christmas than getting home, jammies on and a YC Christmas Pudding burning away

Got most of my christmas presents in Orlando (got my mother's birthday present there as well) Just got my nieces present and my sister got my nephew (they are all 12) the girls came up with the idea that I should get them a set of curling tongs for one and a hair straightener for the other so they could share them I found a set with both and a hairdryer for £25 from argos so have got one each for them (that pair sharing just wouldn't work) just got to get stocking presents for my mother and I am set. Its going to be silver and purple decorations this year.
