just sent OH up loft for aomethign and noticed from where i was standing all the chrimbo stuff so had him take it down , i said it was to find all the wrapping paper i bought in january sales
so now i have all my decs and lights down but not the tree !
had he have brought the tree down i dont know if i could have stopped myself:) !

i think i will get all festive and wrap some prezzies today

hahahaha we have our christmas box out too i am doing very well at not opening it

I have been gutting Caitlins toys and clearing the living room, bought a new tree today and some wee dec's. Im now faced with the dilemma - do I be sensible and now the living room is habitable move on and gut the kitchen.... or do I be a plonker and finish the living room off properly by putting up the tree and wrapping my presents tonight?

I'm dying to get our house all festive but as OH is a committed atheist / humbug there's no chance of it happening until well into December. I'm getting a bit anxious now as we've not sorted many prezzies out at all and I'm really struggling to find the time to do any research - just so tired all the time. We're on a very tight budget this year so I need to make sure I don't just buy any old rubbish then end up with buyer's remorse and get extra top-up prezzies for people.

hahahah snoops why dont you meet in the middle, put the tree up but leave the pressies? then get the kitchen sorted, youre running out of tiiiiiimmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee


oh wait, no wrap the pressies first (thats noisy) then the kitchen.....then put the tree up cos you can do that a bit more quietly

It wont all get done tonight Mari.... Might make the kitchen half reasonable looking and then put the tree up I dont care if I look craazzzzyyy, I could have a squishy in a week and putting a tree up will be pretty hard to do then. Or I could go 10 days overdue and regret having it up so early Im also blacking out the fact I cant see half my bedroom floor due to bags and boxes that need sorted. Oh crumbs I dont have much time!

Oh btw in B&M today they had a few of those twigs tree's with lights for about £30. They more popular than I realised! Oh and another thing I forgot to say to you - a few weeks ago in primark they had brogues!!! In all dif colours!!! I stood thinking omg Mari is a fashion guru and us numptys mock her for being mrs Geography tut tut!!!

Ive got bundles of things to wrap in my room that i keep wanting to do but i like doing it listening to christmas music on telly so i will have to wait
Decs and tree still in the cupboard tho x

well all the decs are still sitting bagged and boxed in my bedroom but my bedroom floor is covered in wrapped prezzies YAY ,, just got my boys to wrap and a couple bits for other ppl that i need to get and i am done woohoooooo

Urgh, tree is going to wait. Have decided my bedroom is more important. Must be nesting, how strange this feels to NEED to clean!!!

Feeling a bit sick though and am working 12-12 2moro so may just do an hr at it then have a bath. That tree will be up by next fri at the latest but!!!
