I don’t know about you but for me the whole month of December seems to disappear in a blur of christmas parties, nativity plays and carol services. Add to that my own Christmas nights out and shopping days and that’s a lot of dates to remember without even thinking about the essential dates like when I have to have my secret Santa gifts wrapped and ready for and when I have to order my turkey by!
I feel like from Mid-November onwards, I need something visual to remind of where we need to be and when so after a quick think, I narrowed it down to two ideas. I decided on either post it notes stuck all over the fridge or something slightly more organised but Mr Frugal said no to the post it notes so I went with the more organised option and this is what I came up with:
I now have this stuck on my fridge door with all of the dates neatly (ish) filled in.
There’s no excuse to miss anything or double book one of us now!
And because I’m lovely (sometimes), you can print out my organised Christmas sheet if you click here – it should be just the right size for an A4 sheet.
What a great reminder! This is such a busy time and it's good to have a to-do list in a visible place!
Good one! Just keeps it all in focus. I do set reminders for everything on my phone. Wouldn't trust my brains to remember it all.
haha! great idea — I have a chalkboard in the kitchen that holds all important dates!
What a great idea…off to print.
Although knowing me I’ll still forget
Thank you.
I am always so messy when it comes to good organization 🙁
Fab idea, there is SO much to remember at this time of year!
You just reminded me about batteries. Thanks for this list, I really need it!
I need one which reminds me to leave the cheese alone!
Great idea – i have already ordered my christmas shopping!
That's such a great idea – I have things pinned all over my kitchen board and I keep telling myself to remember dates and things!
There is so much to remember at this time of year isn't there!
Ahh clever job! I'm always writing lists, and then rewriting lists…and then writing things on lists that I've already done, just so I can tick them off! Terrible. Posting dates is a great touch, I always forget!
Ooooh, i need this!!!
Yes, yes, yes my fridge needs it – I'm trying to keep all of these dates in my head which is lethal…..
Ooh you've just reminded me of my Secret Santa! What a good idea this is – there is so much to keep on top of at this time of year
I absolutely SO DO need this!
I've also got to squeeze in making a shepherd's costume in there somewhere too!
