    Posting so I know whats left to do

    Monday Mayhem..
    Make sure the last of the presents are wrapped I will not have people sitting up while 5am on Christmas morning wrapping!

    Change any bedding you need to get washed before the fat guy arrives.. and I do not mean the OH/parent/ etc

    Spend at least half an hour doing something for yourself.. reading.. relaxing.. goggling... remember you are important too.

    Change pet bedding and wash blankies etc.. we don't want them putting you off your christmas sprouts!

    Dust round the whole downstairs

    Tuesday - Time's nearly up!!!
    1. Vacuum through downstairs.. and the stairs!
    2. Prepare a list for that last second shopping
    3. Have a skim through the TV guide and decide what you want to watch.. it saves missing bits of stuff if you know what is on and when!! Don't forget to make time for Queenie!
    4. Toy boxes can be banished upstairs!
    5. Wash any soft furnishings in need of freshening up
    6. Tidy up coats and shoes and suchlike
    7. WRAP WRAP WRAP!
    8. Spend half an hour doing NOTHING!!.. absolutely nothing!!!! Just sit.. and relax with a drink and a treat!

    hehe saving up my half hour doing nothing so i can maybe get a LONG hot bath tomorrow night lol.

    going to sort living room in a bit, then sweep the floor. Will clean it before we go a-visiting tomorrow afternoon!!!
