Hahaha mr summer just busted me staring at my sleeps til Christmas decoration with a big smile on my face haha!

28 days to go!    

aghhhhhhhhh

 

I am so unprepared.

I've got the cards but that is about all, daughter (17) still want's an advent calender  i still haven't got one yet 

Going too start present buying this week, got a few but not done the big presents yet

Got to have an advent calender

Oh lordy - I had forgotten about those

It's not too late, you can pick one up this week! I got a cadburys one where the chocolates keep getting bigger

We have got a cloth Christmas Tree one, with pockets to put chocolates in.

 

I'm road-testing the Celebrations right now ... well, I want to make sure everything it just perfect

Well rexi, you wouldn't want any bad ones in there

26 days to go.    Did a shed load of prezzie shopping this morn.  Gonna wrap them this afternoon!

I'm going to do some clothes shopping online today for the kids.  I ordered all the wee bits off ebay that the kids wanted but couldn't be found in town and also compiling a list of who I've still to buy to and what I can get them and then will pick a few up in town this week.

 

My Mum has been ringing me to say she has her tree out of the attic   she wants me to go sort it for her but I feel rough today and couldn't be arsed but think maybe I should do it incase I feel worse the rest of the week.  This exact time last year I was sick aswell   I need to be well so I can get my xmas stuff done!!

I'll do it Ells! I've got huge amounts of excited energy!!!!

That would make my day Sweet! 

 

Ok here's a list:

 

Put Mums tree up but don't forget to decorate the fireplace, mirror, tables, windows, front door and anything else you can think of.  She loves xmas too so she likes to have lots of Santas, snowmen and lights all round.  But NO TINSEL, I hate tinsel.

 

Go shopping for xmas clothes for 2 boys ages 5 and 9.  Sizes will be tricky coz the 5 year old looks about 7 and the 9 year old wears a 10/11 and most stuff seems to come in 9/10 or 11/12.  Trainers for both aswell, the 9 year old is choosey so it's only certain types yu can buy him.  The 5 year old can't tie laces so velcros would be good.  Grab some coats hats scarves gloves socks and undies too.

 

I'll let you choose what to buy my 11 year old neice who has everything, is an only child, has a room I would love to sleep in, has wardrobes full of clothes and doesn't wear jewellry.  Find something for my sister who only wears the best of the best and again seems to have everything.  My dad will hate whatever you buy him so try to find the least offensive thing you can think of, if it's edible then great.  The MIL wants PJs, the Bro-in-law will get whatever you can find for a tenner and my OH says he wants 'nothing' so ummmm good luck with that part!

 

Just send me the bill when you're done

@ Ells' list.  Good luck with that, Summer.

No problem Ells, I'm great with the non tinsel decorating, I'm down the kids cos I talk to them at work, I'll get your sister a pair of louboutins- what size is she? And as for your dad, I'll get him either a gingerbread house or some of his favourite chocolates

You're determined to spend spend spend!!

go for it Sweet ... And when you've decorated at Ells could you come round and do mine please ... Cos I can't get in the mood for card writing or pressie wrapping until the tree is up
