Thanks Tigz but it feels cluttered and messy (I always get like this at this time of year )

Well todays plan is to hit Tescos and also see best mate who's going away for xmas tomorrow. Other than that it will probably be another lazy one

benbenandme

Tescos is done, £43 which wasn't too bad, all put away and we've jsut had lunch. We're going to visit friend at 4 so I have a couple of hours to crack on with something. I mi ght make a start on deep-cleaning the bathroom, I've decided to do a bit at a time, and that is one room that can be blitzed without having to work round xmas decorations

Wish I had the energy like you Ben Ben I am currently unwell with a cold virus and even being on here is tiring. I have so much to do and no time I just hope I feel better tomorrow.
Hope you and your son have an excellent xmas.

benbenandme

Aww, hope you feel better soon Ladypink, I have felt rough for the last couple of weeks so am enjoying feeling better again now
I'm just investigating a bingo offer from the giol board with Coral, will report back in a bit with how it goes ...

benbenandme

Yay, made £6.50 profit from it, anyone with a coral account needs to go to the giol board and check it out, its dead easy, for anyone who oens't have an account with coral then don't do it if theres any chance you may do matched betting as theres more money to be made from a decent sign-up offer instead

I've had a nice warm bath and had tea and ds is just off for his bath now. Then we're going to hit his bedroom :eek:, at the moment you can hardly even see the carpet He's going to see father christmas tomorrow with my mum so he needs to help tidy it tonight in case he asks him about it

My washing pile is finally almost gone, I've done 5 loads in the last 2 days, tomorrow I may tackle the ironing pile that has now materialised :rolleyes:

Theres nothing on tv tonight that I want to see so it will be a productive kinda night instead

Thanks for the heads up on Coral BB.........I managed to snatch £21.50:j:beer:

benbenandme

Morning I didn't get much done in the end last night, we did get ds bedroom sorted and it looks a million times better, bu:Dt other than that it came to a grinding halt. I phoned his friends mum and was on the phone to her for 3 hours :eek: She's still in shock, is very frightened as she's been with him since she was 18 and has never done anything on her own and now has 3 young children to cope with alone. On top of that she found out he's in debt, he's told her about £19k on credit cards but she suspects there could be more

Ds is off out with my mum in about an hour to see Santa, I'm staying in here waiting for he electricity meter man to arrive, I am going to get ds pressies wrapped up while he's out too. Have a good day all

benbenandme

We're both washed and dressed, beds are made, dishwashers on, washing machines on, hoovers been round :rolleyes: Theres a huge pile of ironing looking at me on the table but that will have to wait until tonight. I want to crack on and get all the pressies out now and start wrapping but ds will get all excited and daft so its best to wait for him to go out first.

benbenandme

Ds went out at 10.20 and the electirict man turned up 5 minutes later and was all done within 10 minutes, so I have had a lovely hour wrapping. I've got all of ds stocking and other presents wrapped and put away again now

Next I need to go through other peoples stuff and see what I still need to get. I have to pick up a parcel from the post office tomorrow which is the remainder of dads present, other than that I think I might need to get something to go with mums present, but hopefully if I sort out a few bits from my present box and swap a few things around we may be okay
