DH and I have been for a lovely long walk - he forgot the chocolate though :eek: :mad: :rotfl: I'm now having a cup of tea and a mince pie before I start The Final Push. We're off to the seside for a walk along the beach tomorrow, then a fish and chip lunch, before home for the candle-lit carol service.

Enjoy your evenings, Penny. x

Pigpen - turkey, ours is a 9.2kg, says to feed 16 to 18. Glad the oven is getting sorted.

Thanks everyone for the reminder re birthdays. It is my Dads next week and I have forgotten to send a present yet.

I did do the 3.30-4 challenge - emptied TD, filled TD, stripped beds and filled WM. Cooked bolognese sauce for tea and froze some stuff from the fridge before it went off.

Whilst I was putting stuff away I found the Chritsmas cards from last year that I forgot to post. You can see why I didn't join in with the Flylady ones then?

Since I last posted I have decluttered, polished & hoovered the LR it is now all sparkly & clean & cleared of clutter if anyone dares to make a mess before Thurs they will be in big trouble.

freezer tea cooking in the oven and then its the dining room (its been a bit of a dumping ground for the last couple of weeks so not looking forward to that one)

not going to look at tomorrows list until I have Mondays finished and more crossed off todays.

rach

think we're almost done here, apart from a trip to the town hall to empty the bin...have now had an email saying it won't be done. DH says we can't withold our council tax as it will affect our credit rating...

Just got back from Asda and it wasnt too bad as Id heard it was heaving earlier today. DD stood for an hour and twenty minutes in the Iceland queue.

Have opened all my my flylady cards. THANK YOU EVERYONE. I was so touched reading each one and thinking what lovely people you all are. SPECIAL THANKS TO LIL_ME AND YOUR TWO WONDERFUL BOYS.

Been to see mum and she was fine. Loved the outfit Ive got her for xmas day.

Im going to start finishing the wrapping now and put a wash in. I will be one happy bunny when the wrapping is finished.

Have not caught up with much of the thread.

greenbee Sorry to hear about your granfather.

Soappie hope you are not coming down with something again. good luck getting the fridge sorted.

Happy Birthday to all those who have birthdays over the xmas. My sisters is xmas day.
