My Christmas To-Do List: An update

This time last week I shared my Christmas to-do list which had be de-railed by Little I’s chest infection and hospital stay. A week on I’m taking a look at how far I’ve come and what is still outstanding on my list.
  • Paint girls bedrooms x 2
  • Buy new lights for girls rooms
  • Carpets fitted (on 21st)
This is all done! Hurrah! We even fitted in a late night trip to IKEA to get their furniture so Husband has the joyous task of building all that tomorrow. Still got to sort out curtains in the new year but they will be in their new rooms on Xmas eve!

  • 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)
This all got done and the kids photos came out brilliantly and I've had some many lovely messages about them from family.

  • Plan Boxing Day menu
  • Complete online shop (delivering Xmas Eve)
  • Buy crackers for table
  • Sort tableware for Boxing Day
The above is still in progress. I've got until 11:45 tomorrow to complete the Tesco online order and I've nearly planned the menu. I know I'm making Raspberry Toblerone Cheesecake for pud which will be epic.

There are a few things I need to add to the to-do list which are making me a bit nervous now we are up to the wire...
  • CLEAN THE WHOLE HOUSE (GULP)
  • Marzipan and ice a special cake (more on that in a later post)
  • Package up all the homemade truffles we have made this week for family
  • Change the bedding (on Xmas eve)

The cleaning is the real hurdle as the house has definitely slipped whist the decorating has been underway. We are hosting on Boxing Day so it all needs to be done tomorrow!!!
