Out to shop -- so chores bumped again! "Sigh"

Here's the minimum plan for today

Hi all.... How is everyone doing?

Do we all have plans for how we will keep on top of the house and get ready for Christmas coming?

The FlyLady is about to start her "Getting ready for Christmas" on her website.

October is 2/3s over and I've not made much of a dent in the "paper clutter" target of this month -- so, I will do so this week with renewed enthusiasm. I've made a small start on Christmas -- and I'll be writing a list and getting things sorted, packed and wrapped. I used to have Halloween as my deadline for shipping -- but now I'm giving myself until Thanksgiving.

I have my cards and paper (from last year plus school cards for K). I have the kids presents bought. I'm doing a craft project for the parents and grandparents so the materials are in. I will be making teachers presents too.

Once baby arrives I really need to sit down and begin these projects.

I need to get 2 small gifts for my sister's children and I think cinema tickets for all 3.
I still need to buy C a gift but he hasn't decided what yet!

All in all if I get my craft done then xmas is sorted. We'll food shop for cupboard and freezer over November.
I'm only putting up the main tree this year amd a few bits as it'll be less work and clutter with baby.

Every year since I was a teenager I have written a list of presents ideas for people. I then write what I've bought them and highlight when it's wrapped. I used to have it all done before Halloween.
This year I wanted it sorted cause obviously the baby is due and I may not get out to shop if I have a section again. Presents are my responsibility as C works so if I don't do it then it won't be done.

I really should have started some of the craft already but I have no patience at the moment and can't sit for very long.

Hoping I get it all done on time.

Just logging on to say Hi. I subscribed to this thread a long long time ago but never got started, going to do it this year, as well as loosing the excess lbs. I did subscribe to the web site but got overwhelmed by the emails so cancelled that. I will be relying on this thread to get me going.

Hi Sam, yes the website is a bit overwhelming, but just like dieting, you have to find the method that suits you best.
