As promised, here is my Bullet Journal set up for November. Yes, it doesn't already have a Christmas theme. No, I am not sorry.
I have been using the same layout for a few months now, and I completely love it. I've made it my own, the whole point of Bullet Journals, and it works for me!
First of all, I start off with a monthly spread. This means I can see what I have planned for the month, when I will be working and therefore when my days off will be. I do prefer to be able to see it all in one go, then I can transfer it to my weekly spreads when it gets to that week. It also means no forgetting what may be happening in a few weeks time! Plus, planning needs to be pretty, therefore I have added Christmas washi tape and a decorative banner!
I then have my Weekly spread, I always pop a calendar for the month in the top left hand corner, and I list the days as I go along, along with tasks to complete that I can check off and what I am doing that day. I don't use a key so to speak, as I tend to know what I mean when I write it down. I do use stars for events though! I also find that one page a week works perfectly for me.
After my weekly spreads, I have put an editorial calendar for my blog. My aim is to blog 3 days a week and I have already got some ideas planned. I find it helps with motivation, to have to fill in all of the days with my blog posts I am going to write!
I also wanted a double spread for blog post ideas, one I will use for the month on November and I am also aiming to do Blogmas, so I blog everyday in December...let's see how that goes...so I have a page where I can write down all of my ideas and check them off as I do them.
Please don't leave now..I have started my Christmas planning, just because I want to spread the cost this year and keep track of what I am getting everyone. I am doing an Advent Calendar for Phil (my boyfriend), so I want to figure out what I am giving him and what days I will be doing it, so I can put it all together. This is 100% filled in, but I have obviously blanked it all out so he can't see (soz babe). I have also made Christmas present boxes on the right hand side, which I am filling with the main presents I have gotten my family and boyfriend. This goes on for a few more pages too, and are also partially filled in!
I will be adding more pages as the month goes on, but for now this is all I need!
What are your must have spreads for November?

It would be interesting and helpful to see that advent calendar that you are making for your boyfriend, of course after him seeing it :)
