Hi Guys,
 
This is just a thought and I will apologise in advance if this system is already in place but I was not aware or anything like that.
 
I saw a post about Fathers Day on the forum today and straight away I thought, oh yes I should get myself organised and upload some new cards for fathers day then realised it is only next month so I am way too late.  
 
It was this Father day post that triggered my memory and I thought to myself wouldn't it be great if there was an email reminder or something (I know you have the choice to display upcoming holidays on your shop front) that prompts you WELL in advance (I'm thinking 6 months ahead but if other members have a better time frame suggestion then please let us know) of upcoming holidays?
 
The reason I am suggesting it is because I tend to forget a holiday is approaching until only a month away by which it's far too late to submit cards to be reviewed.
 
Would an email reminder/prompter be useful to anyone else too?? Is this something that CGU could do? I already receive emails when members post on the forum - perhaps something automated like that??.
 
I hope this doesn't come across as being lazy or anything, I just seem to get distracted with everything going on in day to day life and on top of that have a terrible memory for dates (terrible is an understatement, I am shocking)  
 
Alternatively I can set time aside and set up my own reminders on my own computer Calendar, I just wondered if other people missed time frames too or perhaps I'm the only hopeless unorganised one here haha.
 
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Hi Rachel, Peggy sent me a very good list of dates from a holiday thread in my DATES post today. Check it out. Its harder when your starting out, because a/ there are SO many holidays and B/ they creep up on you before you know it! This time next year we'll be more organised like everyone else lol!
Best always, Karen.

Very good idea Jannina!
 
Rachel, I think with time you'll just start thinking months in advance.  Remember Christmas in July!  

Thank you guys - the computer calendar is probably my best bet  
 
Thanks Karen, I will have a look at your Dates post. But yes, I need to get organised haha... I try and put a positive spin on it by thinking even though I am too late for this years holiday I'm at least well and truely early for next years holidays  
 
Thank you everyone for taking the time to post some feedback and suggestions. They're always appreciated   You can guess what my job over the weekend will be... setting REMINDERS on my computer haha.
