OK - bathrooms both sparkling, kitchen floor washed, everywhere hoovered.

Guests arriving around 12 :eek:, so beds should be next.

Clearing tables, last few decs, and sorting food can be done with visiting small persons help I think!

WM x 2, DW x 1, TD x 1 so far - HHI shortly.

I'm getting there - yippee!! Aim is to be pretty much done before heading off for the crib service this afternoon except for some wrapping which requires certain people to be asleep or out! Visitors are kindly bringing tonights tea - I just have to cook some new pots & do a salad - nice huh?

oohh - Santa is now delivering in New Zealand...

Just realised we have no-one coming round here till Saturday lunchtime which kind of takes the pressure off - so todays list is pretty easy!

1. Send dh to shop for 2 cards we forgot to get
2. Wrap up presents
3. Stockings
4. Go to friends for Christmas Eve party
5. Get 2 over-excited children to bed nice and early!

Only number 5 seems unlikely to get done today:santa2:
