2. sort out paper work
3. write them bloomin christmas cards out

I have my car a year in December too! It was my christmas present from my mum and dad but I got it at the begining of December, they couldnt fit it in there wardrobe so they had to give it me early. Mine has hay on the floor from when I have my bunny's in the car it falls out of the carrier.

I think I will treat myself to a pudding next sunday after a nice roast dinner. Trying to cut back on the treats as my tum is getting a bit to podgy for my liking and it'll only get bigger at christmas with all the treats

Ooh 10 things to do this week! (If it had been any other I don't think I would even try, but since there is no work/school I will), so...

1. Clean the porch, bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom windows
2. Declutter trunk (of doom), and store all summer hats etc
3. Get suitcase down from loft, and pack away all the summer jackets, sandals etc
4. Major clean bathroom - walls, lights, fittings, scrub tiles & grout
5. Clean hall/stairway, polish banistars, skirtings, handrails etc
6. Finish making ALL gift tags
7. Write out and address 50 christmas cards
8. Finish cross stitching/making 2 x "pyjama party" cushions for my nieces hampers
9. Get 3 more things (1 each) off the boys lists & their selection box
10. CLEAN the OVEN :eek:

My treat .... Chinese, bottle of Rose and a film with my hubby! :j


Finished the kitchen today, 3 full black bags, 1 box for shredding, 8 hours worth and still have the larder to do, the windows and have to beeswax the cupboard doors :mad:

My embarassing thing for today was, I got the email too from Amazon about the £5 supersaver delivery, and I thought I forwarded it to my husband at his work, I added a few lines, about how my tummy was very crampy due to my monthly visitor starting today, and it turns out I hit reply instead of forward, so I'm sure the staff at Amazon would've gotten a good laugh at the pyscho lady, tell all about her time of the month.:rotfl:

I'm going to have a go at finishing one of those PJ party cushions now....

Well done everyone, with their lists, if we get that much done, we'll be well organised! :snow_laug

kalojac...thank you so much for sharing your email boo boo, I dont like to laugh at other peoples misfortunes but I had a good old giggle over that )

I cant commit to a list of 10 things to do im far too pregnant for that lol, but I will try and get all the house tidy and a serious declutter of my bedroom and the kitchen done.

Does anyone know where I can get a wine glass that holds a full bottle of wine? they used to sell them in the pound shops, until I want one of course!! Its for my step dad he loves his wine, was thinking about getting one engraved/etched with something funny, any ideas??
