    WM emptied and refilled and on again, washing hung up.
    living room floor vaguely remembling floor again (will get oh to vaccum later), all dec and chrimbo stuff in box.
    Hand wash pots washed and drying
    kitchen sides wiped down.
    Spare duvet brought through for a Big Bang theory marathon later.
    More tinsel put up.
    Worked out oh owes me £15 for prezzies...interestingly, i can't save, but this year have managd to spend nearly £100 on prezzies, with no money on credit, and I only feel a little financially bad...well, I have no spare funds til the tenth, but I think thats pretty good, way better than last year when I spent way more mostly on credit card (sorry mum), and I feel like I've bought prezzies people will really like. Do need to buy some bottle bags though, anyone any ideas where I might get a fair few silver bottle bags cheap????

    Feeling a lot chipper now, stomach alot more settled which really helps coz I HATE being sick, don't mind nausea, but actual vomiting is, well, I just don't like it. Still knackered, but then, thats life...

    Have a good day everyone.
