merry christmas eve morning to you all

jamtart- many many congratulations, what a wonderful christmas for you , bet all your family will be so chuffed. enjoy every moment

Well everything for xmas is done here, just got to do sausage rolls fresh at teatime for xmas buffet with mil and family . Not too bad they only stay for 2 or 3 hours. This morning i need to finish packing my case others are done , then its (hopefully) watching all the xmas films on tv this afternoon with DD, poor soul has been a bit neglected while i have finished everything off. Off to the parents tomorrow for lunch with all the family, so no prep to do for that.

in case i dont get back on here- have a wonderful christmas everyone, hope everyone has a peaceful (as you can get with kids) happy day.
Also many many thanks to you all for helping and encouraging me to get organised, looking forward to next year with you all.

BIG BIG HUGS AND KISSES TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU

Morning all

Well its finally here. I'm def not as prepared as I wanted to b, but its not too bad. My list for today is

do at least 1 more load of washing
hoover (prob at least twice knowing my kids:rolleyes: )
sort and wrap 3 hampers (mum & 2 sisters)
wash up
empty all bins for OH to take down

Hopefully it will all b done by the time OH gets in from work so he can take the bins down and while hes gone I'll get out the xmas eve hamper which he doesnt no included surprises for him

Then later after we have enjoyed thetake away, xmas eve hamper and kids r def fast asleep put out stockings and presents from us under the tree. Then I have to stay awake after OH is asleep so I can put out his surprise stocking and mine that my nan did for me

Congratulations Jamtart :T :T :j :j :beer: Hope u have a long and happy life together, and enjoy ur 1st home x

Dunno if I'll get back on later to sort my list but if not

Yipee the big day is nearly here!!! Slightly excited as I sit here in my PJ's still (at least I've not been out in them again!!). i probably should get showered and dressed as I've got about 20 people coming over for mulled wine and mince pies in about 2 hours!! Also still need to make magic reindeer food for everyone to take home but I have made everyone snowman soup and it looks great for a first effort!!
to Jammy and congratulations how exciting!!



To everyone

enjoy the festivities


and for all your inspiration and support

am chilling with my advocaat and lemonade - couldn't find the pre made snowballs anywhere?! loving the fact that I have nowt to do and the house is spotless, so Merry Christmas everyone - thanks to everyone on this thread - it's been a tough year for me but I'm glad I found these threads to keep me sane and busy. Itching to start next years money neutral challenge which I have started and will post my progress on Jan 1st, especially as how I might get moved next year and I understand quidco now. When I move my first purchase will be a brand new fridge freezer so I'll be skipping through quidco for that one!!??

merry christmas to all and to all a good night xxx
