hehe we have November, December (23rd and 27th) and January to contend with also, Kels.

Slightly off topic, does anyone know where to buy hair colour that is not your usual? I'm thinking along the lines of orange, green... rather than the customary blonde and chestnut colours.]]> Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:58:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20872&PID=491603&title=brace-yourself-and-your-wallets#491603 <![CDATA[Brace yourself and your wallets.. : Being an ex retail manager I was...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20872&PID=490940&title=brace-yourself-and-your-wallets#490940 Author: nictoddie

Being an ex retail manager I was a bit shocked to see advent calenders out at the warehouse last week, it seems to get earlier each year, Generally it was early October, I must say I have had to be very organised this year with bub no 3 due a week before by elective c, have all mine on Layby and picked up the first one last week, and have gone OT again this year Oh well I love Christmas and my kids get spoilt lol!

I Christmas

I am planning to send my nephews Christmas presents up to them next month and DH and I have been exchanging emails to figure out what to buy Michaela.

Oh and we've also been discussing where to put the Christmas tree this year and I wrote up the first draft of the Christmas menu and allocated dishes to family members. None of them seem to appreciate my organisational skills yet but they'll be thanking me come boxing day... they always do.
