Fist of all, I think you need to break your email into two separate ones. I wouldn't bring up the subject of Christmas in your answer to her putting appointments on your calendar.
BTW, did I miss the part from her wanting to put the dates the girls would be at your place? Anyway, let me "attempt" my version of an answer to her.
Hey
[b]Thanks for mail! I am better and next week the stiches goes out :-)
I prefer you not put appointments in my calendar when the girls are at my place. I want to know what happens in D's life, however, I don’t want my calendar filled with appointments that I am not attending. It would be super if you would notify me by email. Also, let me know in advance whenever we need to discuss possible future activities (such as scouts, gym, etc.) that would take place when they would be staying at my place. We don't want to disappoint them unnecessarily by not being able to get stuff done. I hope you agree.
And then a few practicals – we can also take these on phone but here they are: I need for you to move your exchange account to another place in near future, so I can shut it down in here. Please let me know when you are done moving it.
X has billed us and it should be paid now. Will you transfer half or should I just deduct the amount from childcare?
There are several items out here that belongs to you and as I go through the place more will come. I will bring a little every time I drop of the bags and just put it in the shed. All your stuff, including the things in the barn, will have to be gone before spring so please prepare for that.
You have some of my items that I would like back. Could you look into it, please?
Thanks Talk to you soon

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
