    Friday - CHRISTMAS DAY!
    1. Bag up all the wrapping paper and put it outside!
    2. Delegate pot washing/DW loading!
    3. Slice off the remaining meat and either freeze or refridgerate for tomorrow!
    4. Save remaining cooked veg for stew! It can be frozen if you don't want to eat it in the next few days.. or sling it in the crock pot with the carcass for stock!
    5. Before children go to bed they must stack their new things nicely!
    6. A quick S&S over the kitchen should see it looking fabulous again If you leave it by New year it will be a tip!!
    7. Prepare any run and grab style food for Boxing day.. I know a lot of families have get togethers on the 26th.
    8. Wipe the table/table cloth
    9. Put the best crockery/glasses away
    10. Go play with the children .. eat lots of junk food and delegate as much as possible!!
    11. Quick wipe over the hob should see it sparkling again
    12. Does the breadmaker need to be on for tomorrow?
    13. Start thinking of those resolutions you will be breaking by the middle of January! lol
    14. Don't forget to feed the pets!.. Mine had a bag of turkey giblets they helped themselves to!
    15. Enjoy your day with your loved ones, spare a fewv minutes thought for those who cannot be with us this year and who have lost loved ones.. I wish you all a happy, joyous, trouble-free fabulous New Year!! Without you lot.. I wouldn't be here either xx

  • Hi!

    Have gone missing for ages (too much "stuff" going on in private life, I'm afraid), but I *have* been keeping the house looking really good, Flylady style. Will rejoin the daily visits in the New Year - but for now

    HAVE FUN

    and

    LOTS OF LOVE AND THANKS

    ....I've never had my house looking so nice at Christmas before, and it's all down to you lovely people.

    Much love

    MissH

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
