Deeply envious :T:T:T.

Lots more to do here sadly.

My friend just arrived to pick up her children. Picture the scene - children sat eating homemade cake and watching a DVD. She looked at me, looked at the children, looked round the room and said 'have you got a cleaner' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. I'm usually known for my 'clutter' and it's all gone! When she saw the table set for Christmas dinner in the conservatory she nearly fainted!

It won't last but I'll enjoy it for the moment. I'm going to pop into the attic to get a binbag load of carp out xx

Just checked on my ebay and even though the money was sent on the 5th, seller didn't recieve it till the 15th, (forgot it was an echeque) so will wait a day or 2 .....it is for her birthday so have another week or so.......

I have now cleaned out all the drawers in the kitchen and removed all the trash from my dresser to make it clean and Christmasy!

Monday Mayhem..

1. Make sure you have all the shopping you need to take you through to next week.. milk and bread especially! Will finalise meal plan. Just need to buy more milk on 23rd or 24th.
2. Make sure the last of the presents are wrapped
3. Clean the oven and hob ready for your feast!
4. Change any bedding you need to get washed before the fat guy arrives
5. Phone someone you 'forgot' to post a card/present to in time.. just so they know you've not forgotten them...
6. [STRIKE] Spend at least half an hour doing something for yourself.. reading.. relaxing.. goggling... remember you are important too.[/STRIKE]
7. [STRIKE] Dust round the whole downstairs [/STRIKE]
8. [STRIKE]do a crazy HHC decluttering downstairs[/STRIKE]
   

Not bad. Will work on the menu planning now.

OK,sitting here is not going to make emails come any quicker.....will find my list and see what I can get on with.............

enjoy that holiday feeling pen-pen, I am loving it!

soappie - good idea to stay in, getting wet will only make you worse. Do you have any thermals? I swear by them in winter, primark do cheap but decent ones.

mudbath - this place is looking beautiful too, it's never too bad but lovely to just be able to enjoy it...and there's no one here to mess it up (might lock DH out later!)

I have finished the wrapping and have packed DH's stocking. :j Off to update list...
