Hi Ladies, I'm here and finished work until 5th Jan :T :T :T :T :T so will be around a bit more

Got up this morning and made breakfast muffins to take in to work and made it in before 8 o clock when I am usually late, must be Christmas or something :rotfl: .

Everyone thought it was a brilliant idea to have the muffins and bucks fizz for breakfast because then any alkehol would be out of our system by the time we finished at 12 .

Came home and relieved DS of DD sitting duties and then dragged her into town as decided to get another couple of bits n pieces as extras for mum and dad, and even up the spends on the kids :rolleyes: .

So we're back now and I'm now going to swish swipe the whole house ready for the fatman tonight (dont want him thinking I'm a bad mummy do I)

Anyone up for a HHC 3.45 - 4.15 (gotta get the cleaning stuff together first) thats if you're not already finished and got your feet up with a glass of plonk

Pigpen - my female cat (Dusty) sends you a big sloppy lick and a purr - I washed her bedding (which small cat had been on so she would not go in her basket, which she used to love, anymore) and remade her bed and put it into DS3's room by the radiator where she has been sulking of a daytime for 4 weeks now and she got in and purred her head off - just hope Woody doesn't find it!

Awww, Dusty - how lovely for the other Dusty!

Utility area finished, bathroom done, just kitchen duties now. I'm refusing to have a glass of something just yet - I'll be going over nice neighbours just after 5pm for our traditional Christmas Eve present swap and will have a gin then

Right we are t-minus 20 minutes to guest time (not that anyone'll show up then) and I DON'T CARE WHAT I HAVEN'T GOT DONE!!!!!!!! Well, I do and it'll prolly bug the hell outta me all night, but it has to sop sometime, and now is that time!

Sister been round and we've swapped gifties, so thats one thing done (and fab gifties for me) Hung my lights, which promptly fell down again, so they are now draped artistically around the window ledge (I will have lights!)

Pigpen - If I got your house right, your tree is gorgeous...very very pretty.

Oh just rung to say he's out early so should hopefully be here before the guest, yay:j

To whoever pointed out norad, I had forgotten this year and some people won't be glad you reminded me..hehe..talking to my sis and kept coming out with, oh Santas in.., Someone may well kill me before the night is out.
Better go find my fancy necklace, wanna wear it tonight....

hiya
well thankfully i am all done, i went into town today with my mum (yes she is one of those mad people that do it all on christmas eve grrr), had a coffee and some lunch. Then came home and scooted over the whole house and it is now all sparkly and if anyone messes it up im going to have a fit.

greenbee - i do sleep sometimes just not that often lol (sleep is a luxury), however DD must of sense i was in bed as she didn't wake up till 10 so that couple of extra hours was nice.

Where has the day gone? Not a lot done this morning and we all went to the cinema this afternoon. I have got stuff out of the freezer but that is it. Normally I would be panicing but I really dont need to this year which is just lovely.
If I don't get chance to post again I hope everyone has a really lovely day tomorrow.
