Top Tip 1
De-clutter
For 2 or 3 days over the festive period, lose the clutter from the kitchen – that means moving the kettle, condiments, old serving urn your Gran gave you, out of the kitchen to give you space.
Top Tip 2
Order your turkey at least 3 weeks before Christmas day – to ensure you get the best available.
Top Tip 3
Always buy a few spare presents – CDs, good bottles of wine and kids toys…there is always someone you have forgotten!
Top Tip 4
Next time you do a bucks fizz, try using clementine juice with champagne or Prosecco (Italian bubbly). Delicious!
Top Tip 5
Indigestion tablets – don’t forget them!
Top Tip 6
Remember to stock up on loads of spare batteries for all the new kid’s toys – you know you will get caught out otherwise!
Top Tip 7
To give you some more space in the fridge, take out all the water, alcohol, juices and prepared veg and put them outside….well it is cold outside!
Top Tip 8
Count up all your crockery and cutlery before you start, just in case you are a few short.
Top Tip 9
A week before Christmas, get all the heavy stuff bought and packed away – things like water, beers, fruit, veg, more beers – this means you are not lugging heavy things around at the last minute.
Top Tip 10
You always forget the Thank You cards…so while the kids are tearing open their presents, make a note of what it is and who it’s from, that way you can remember who you have to thank!
