I did the kitchen cupboards a few weeks back, but I sorted the closet under the stairs on Monday (coats, winter woolies, and general mess). And I also managed to get another carload sorted and brought to the storage unit (the building work starts next Monday - I think I'm mad!!) as well as another bag into the bin and another LARGE load brought to the recycling centre.
Christmsa wise - I am slowly getting more sorted but I still have a fair bit to do. I have organised more presents (I think I have over half now complete), and I got 2 birds for the "Bride's Box" for a tree for the first 2 weddings (there are now 2 engaged couples, another building a house together, and a fourth that I expect to hear bells for shortly also!). I have finished 14, and I am well under way for another 11. I have to spend some time crafting tonight though - sewing crayon rolls, a couple of tote bags for boys, and an owl cushion for DD. Dollie clothes and blankets can wait (and see if I find time), as can decorations sets.
Oops, I also have to make chutney this week and mincemeat, so that they mature.
I actually don't have a lot left to buy though - a hoodie for DBro, a pack of scented nightlights (to go with candleholders already bought) for Mum, bits and pieces of paper, markers, stickers etc for one DSis, I have 4 people I have no ideas for yet, and I have a lot of food bits already made for hampers for 3 couples - but I need to buy a few things right at Christmas (like cheese and biscuits) but also a couple of things to make.
Cleaning will be mostly abandoned for a few weeks while the builders are in, and we'll get it professionally done once they leave. Just nicely timed, I hope!!
Lastly, I want to spend some time starting my cards this week, as it won't be long before I have to post off a few overseas! Yikes!!
Starting to see Christmas in the shops now though - properly! And with the unseasonably cold weather we're having, that is making it feel incredibly close!
