A Very Snowy Christmas - 16 Weeks For An Organised Christmas - Week 5

 

Who's ready for week 5!!!???

So far we've made our lists, checked them twice, started our shopping and our decluttering!!! So what's next??

Well, last week it was starting the declutter around the house and now we're digging a bit deeper and we're starting on the freezer and the food cupboards.

Let's start with the freezer. Whether you've got a standard fridge freezer, a huge chest freezer or a small compartment in the fridge, it's time to get it prepared.  

Have a sort through it and plan to use up anything that's been hanging around for a while and throw out anything that's out of date or freezer burnt. Then it's time to defrost it and give it a good clean! 

So, now your freezer is clean and ready what's next? Well, it's time to stock it! Whether it be frozen parsnips, mince pies or party food, consider buying one item each week along with your weekly shop. Not only will it slowly help stock your fridge but it will also help spread the cost!!!

Next, is the cupboards. Similar to the freezer we're going to have a clear out and get ready for the festive treats. You'll need to keep an eye on the dates for all things cupboard based but you'll probably find you can start with nuts, cranberry sauce and those type of things. 

Just like with our gift buying, keep track of everything so you know what you have and haven't brought.

See you next week for more of A Very Snowy Christmas.
