    Monday Mayhem..
    1. Make sure the last of the presents are wrapped I will not have people sitting up while 5am on Christmas morning wrapping!
    2. Change any bedding you need to get washed before the fat guy arrives.. and I do not mean the OH/parent/ etc
    Tuesday - Time's nearly up!!!
    1. Children... quick.. tidy your rooms you don't want Santa thinking you don't look after your stuff.. he might not leave any presents!
    2. get out any special christmas crockery and make sure it is all clean and nice to use.. placemats etc too!
    3. Declutter your desk.. if it is anything like mine it is full of receipts and invoices!
    4. 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!
    5. WRAP WRAP WRAP!
    6. Spend half an hour doing NOTHING!!.. absolutely nothing!!!! Just sit.. and relax with a drink and a treat!
    Strange, wouldn't let me type until I posted and edited... Well, there still seems to be a fair amount left on that list despite the fact that I've not stopped today! I'll have to get cracking on with the rest.

    Dinner time I think...

    Soappie - you're as bad as me. Once I have a plan it gets done, lol. I have to say your fridge was quick even by my standards. You be careful getting it in the house please!

    That's why I tolerate DS still living at home and bringing his wife home too - he has his uses and did the moving for me! :D

    Well, shopping delivered next door - nice G&T as a tip (Thank you! :beer:), the fridge is out of the car and is sitting in state and in place in the kitchen - can't switch it on for about another 1.5 hours (needs to settle or summat!).

    The rest of the kitchen is in mayhem! I'm just taking a breather before I put the rest to rights.

    I really feel this was the right decision - there has been so much fridge conflict over the years it's nice to know it'll all be resolved :D

    But, back to it....

    lol @ HCC and door knockers... if you drop your pants down here someone would nick your bum! At the other house they'd have had the $h!t too!

    We have 'rehomed'.. table chairs, pc bits, sofas, garden tools, mattresses (I kid ye not) beds, broken scales, TD's, and a dead washing machine! just putting them outside the house.. That's what they do in parts of America lol
