    I cannot keep up with this thread. I h ave both the little pixies home today, both are slightly under the weather and for some reason I am exhausted today.

    I am having a mini panic. I have not even started to wrap our christmas pressies yet. i'm so far behind. Cards i have written 3, only 47 to go!!!!!! oh and not getting much flying done. I have sorted 3 bags for charity shop and stitched a sock monkey though.

    If it makes you feel better I have only wrapped 3 presents and not written any cards - there are over 2 weeks to go lets not panic yet;)


    Been doing really well with the flying upstairs. Just need to hoover and finish the bathroom.

    Post has arrived, another order here, one order chased too.

    Got 2 PBs of £25 each so very happy ther - 2 for DH to open too :T

    The sun is shining so I may try & get the outdoor lights up......will have to do it in stages.....but I'd like to make a start.....the tree & indoor decs will be staggered over the next few days.......I used to do it all in one day but realise that isn't going to happen this year :o

    Back later xx

    Sweetie, doing things slowly can be more rewarding, enjoy every moment, I know you don't have a choice hun but we miss so much rushing through life, big hugs xx

    Morning all,

    Hugs to all that need them, hope you have recovered from fright yesterday, Piggers and that your hair doesn't look like this :eek:.

    Coffee decluttered, post opened and sorted, unfortunately the DVD I ordered for DS wasnt the one I thought it was but hope he likes it :o.

    Think as its fine out I'll get some fresh air and go and get the 'family' cards I need then thats something else done.

    Oh and I need to pay a cheque into the bank that I have had for at least a fortnight, and as it was a wedding gift I'll pay it into my savings account so DH cant lose it in the system like he did with the last one :rolleyes:

    Right where's my boots
