My Christmas To-Do List

15/12/2017

I have spent the last two days in hospital with Little I who has a very nasty chest infection. We are coming home later today but needless to say I’m now even further behind with my Christmas preparations. The fact that we were half way through decorating the girls rooms make things even worse I’ve made this to-do list to help me focus and prioritise all the tasks which need completing over the coming week before the big day arrives.

Paint girls bedrooms x 2
Buy new lights for girls rooms
Carpets fitted (on 21st)
Get Christmas stuff out of loft
Buy kids secret Santa presents
Wrap all presents
Print school photos and put in cards
Post cards (by 21st)
Post presents (by 21st)
Plan Boxing Day menu
Complete online shop (delivering Xmas Eve)
Buy crackers for table
Sort tableware for Boxing Day

There is a lot to do but we still have over a week so we’ll be ok as long as we get out of here today and crack on this weekend!

Wow! You have a lot to do but I've no doubt you'll get it done. I don't envy you at all, I remember doing up my sitting room one Christmas and it was stressful but worth it! The list is a huge huge help; I love me a to-do list ! Best of luck with it all x

Sorry to hear about your little one. You've got a lot to do! I don't envy you at all. Although saying that, I'm still to finish the Christmas shopping and wrap up all the gifts. Luckily we're having Christmas away from home so not much to plan regarding the food! X

Oh I hope you're little one is ok. Try not to stress, you sound super organised with your list...I never write one and regret winging it every single year. Add 'buy and drink wine' to it though. And have a fab festive period. Cx
