HAPPY Christmas to all you lovely flyladies...

Thank You all for the help and support over the last year, I love my tidier house and its all thanks to you

All lists are done...not had time to post before as I have just been too busy..Ham in oven its huge and has taken 5 hours up to now...but we will be having some of this for tea..

All kitchen scrubbed and tidy

Mince pies, truffles and mint choc made.

Just need to bring up all pressies,xmas eve ones shortly then main pressies when kids are in bed...they are all at my mums

Was meant to be going out last night to OHs works party ...got ready and were just about to set off when the snow started again,it was very heavy ans as the party was in the wilds of Derbyshire we wouldnt have made it...shame as we were looking forward to a night out...doesnt happen very often...never mind.



Love to all xx

SSL - thanks hun, decorating is today so not too late at all - do you use the solid colour not the liquid? Stay safe in the snow.

I use liquid...I find it easiest

We've been out at the shops..madness as ever :rolleyes: But I wanted to get out and about in the car as I've not been out since last Friday. So managed to drive about. OH has done loads of snow clearing and has stuck my remaining salt down. NN went mental yesterday with my huge bag of salt and needless to say, everywhere is sold out.

We have taken some photos of the garden and the icycles (sp?) round the house. Will get them on FB

OK, I now need to make cranberry sauce, chocolate chestnut pots, chocolate torte, er sure there is something else

Back later xx

[STRIKE]Go and visit Luscious with DD when DH during the afternoon[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Deliver June's card and present, plus Donnas mums card
[/STRIKE][STRIKE]Get coal[/STRIKE]

Had a relaxing day so far, only challenging thing was finding coal. I know I should have done it before but as its DH who wants the real fire then he should have thought to get it.

Just going to sort something for tea then maybe make sausage rolls and mince pies. There is nothing to rush for and I am totally at ease with the wrapping all done. There is nothing to do that cant actually be done tomorrow as in prep veg etc so might do it if I feel like it.

Did have a load of replies to the thread but once again internet is playing up - think it might be time for an AOL upgrade or a switch !

all downstairs tidied, hoovered and mopped. DD had bath after finding a hamper and letter from Rudy.....she is now munching on tea.....crackers sauages and dip, while in her new pj's and dressing gown......when she has finished we will be watching a Christmas DVD with hot chocolate.......

I want to say a HUGE THANKYOU to Pigpen for keepin everything to plan...I think this is the first year in many that I haven't had to go shopping on Chrismas eve......feels good xx

Valli and Jill - thank you for your lovely messages

You are very welcome but I must confess it wasnt me - I didnt reply on here or by PM so I best not take credit.
However - are you psychic ??? Cos I was thinkiong of you and was going to reply but it was 1 in the morning and I reaaaallly needed to get to bed.
Your post about the calendars struck a chord. DH took the kids out yesterday to get me stuff from Asda. Asda! ASDA!!! ASDAAAARGGGGHHHH not to sound ungrateful but I know every single thing they sell in there and none of it is very exciting. DD1 threw a massive strop and said she didnt want to go, apparently DS had a tantrum while they were there, then DD1 refused to help DH wrap them this morning and DS got chucked out of the room they were wrapping in for being awkward and unhelpful. I am feeling very unappreciated that between them they left it so late, went to the flipping supermarket, and then collectively didnt want to bother putting in the effort to wrap. This morning I shouted at all of them that they could eat dry bread for lunch tomorrow as I would be staying in bed on my own.
BAH!
HUMBUG!

Anyway that was this morning, they've been a lot better this afternoon, just got tea and bedtime to get through then going to collapse on the sofa
