    Actually planning a nice quiet Christmas this year, will probably pop out to Tescos for a few late night whoopsied veg on Christmas Eve, and then set to on some chores, really do have to clean the kitchen range, it's filthy and the DSS's are complaining. That's unless the DFG can come up with anything exciting this year.

    I'd get that tree planted out, the King of Spain's daughter might want to visit when it starts fruiting!

    Another top tip, get your toenails painted, you never know when they might be on show!

    Just mentioned that to the OH, and although he seems a bit off at the idea an old flame has been sending me presents (I asked him if he minded, he said, oh no, he didn't, so I told him I thought he did, and he said oh no, he didn't again quite forcefully, and I contradicted him - this went on for a while until he realised he'd lost the TV remote but it turned out to be behind him: had to tell him that quite a few times before he twigged too). Anyway he said that if any dirty birds were to turn up at the door, he'd deal with them personally, so that's another task ticked off the list.

    Always good to have a list at Christmas. Unless you're on a cruise of course.
