Ok, so managed to go to work/meeting, am now home.I've had a smile on my face ALL day so far-my pledge(1 more day to go and finished till 5th Jan:j )
Before school pick up at 3.15 today, I plan to:

• put away all yesterdays ironing
• make beds (that didn't get done this morning)
• tidy up-place looks like a tip
• wash up brekkie bits....such a minger (new dishwasher soon- thank goodness)
• peel veggies for tonights dinner
• drink very strong coffee
• put a wash on
• vacuum upstairs
• give myself kick up the a@@e in order to do it all!

Will let you know later how I got on,wish me luck...

• cards posted
• presents all bought and wrapped
• Still to clean flat and get washing up to date..Grrrr!

Just have to pack up my stuff to go to the folks for 2 weeks:eek: Finish w*rk tomorrow at 12pm:j Going to pick LS from uni in Stirling then drive home to parents. Getting hair done on Saturday(very excited as barnet is like old straw - so it's goodbye bleach , hello natural auburn!:D )

So excited to finish up in the office it's has been soooo stressful. Been very lucky this week though as I have accumulated a LOT of tinned choccies, wine, champagne and food hampers from our subcontractors. Going to use a lot of them for presents next year so you can count me in on the Gift Neutral banter.:T

On the crap side I have a stinking cold and my OH has gone offshore today for a fortnight:sad:

HUGS to all who need a little boost

Good list for me please jammy

I have wrapped all but 1 of the gifts i have bought
Sat in all day waiting for more parcels to arrive
Ordered more stuff

Stuck all cards up
Delivered all our cards but 1 ,seeing my friend tomorrow;)

Usual housework, but not tidying away :rotfl:
Cooked dinner. Washer has been on overtime. Stripped and remade 2 beds

Had a coffee with my friend.

Tonight i have to double check all gifts bought. Write a list of anything i still need to get. Make a movie hamper. Put together my grandads hamper. Then wrap 12 hampers :eek:

Buying a contract phone for my son £150 and car insurance for other son £80 helped

But crimbo bingo ( not added to the total :eek: ) has helped :rotfl:

I wont buy anything online until i have checked if the company is on quidco
