    Jassa - congratulations! Enjoy being debt free xx

    I had done a long post but I've lost it....grrrrrr!!!!!

    Hugs SSL - how about sending a 'congratulations on being up your own ar**s' card. Sorry:o.

    I can't remember who mentioned not having an immaculate house. Mine's certainly not immaculate :rotfl: perish the thought!:rotfl: My children, dogs and hubby make sure of that (ok, and me too!!). I'll forever be trying to keep on top of it but just for a few hours this afternoon it was as perfect as I like it. Since then it's slid somewhat:rotfl: but I'll get there again!

    DH came in from work and announced that we were going to do a lidl and tesco shop to get it over and done with. Did I mention it was also to include the children!!! Oh what fun! Still, all shopping done, all presents done.

    So, Monday's list completed!

    Now to see what Tuesday has in store xx

    Heh heh...nows there's a gap in the market ;):rolleyes::rotfl:

    Oh, and I got a lovely Christmas card from DD. 'To Mum and her Boyfriend.' Inside, she has added the word 'awesome' before boyfriend *sniff*

    Right, I think I have disrupted the thread enough for today ;)

    Night night...thank you all for your kind words. I love you all xx

    Dont usually post this time of night but been busy trying to get star for today. Am out tomorrow from about 8am til 8pm so highly unlikely to get anything done or be able to catch up here. Wednesday is my Birthday but got vets appt and many other things I must catch up on but would like to say now – in case I don’t manage to get here before – a very Merry Xmas to all and a big thank you for giving me the motivation to get house sorted.
    Oh and
    Jassa – well done on the debt free. That is the best thing that any of us could have

    Toots – Hope you are feeling less tired tomorrow

    Monday Mayhem..
    1. Make sure you have all the shopping you need to take you through to next week.. milk and bread especially! It is Bank Holiday on Monday so some shops are not open.. the big supermarkets are. Milk supply already in and got part-baked baguettes just in case
    2. Make sure the last of the presents are wrapped I will not have people sitting up while 5am on Christmas morning wrapping! Everything bought has been wrapped and will now wrap as I buy anymore
    3. Have we located stockings? Hanging up
    4. S&S the kitchen Done but ongoing
    5. S&S the bathroom/s and loo's All spick and span
    6. Clean the oven and hob ready for your feast! OMG – tis the best money I have ever spent. Is so clean am loathe to use it
    7. Clean the fridge to accommodate you bounty of food Done
    8. Change any bedding you need to get washed before the fat guy arrives.. and I do not mean the OH/parent/ etc Done
    9. Make sure your timetable for christmas day is sorted and everyone knows their tasks.. who is spud peeling? Who is stuffing the bird etc..? Will prepare veg xmas eve and am highly unlikely to have help with anything
    10. Catch up on the laundry .. ironing is tomorrows job! 3 loads done today and one and half hours ironing
    11. Phone someone you 'forgot' to post a card/present to in time.. just so they know you've not forgotten them... One ecard sent
    12. Spend at least half an hour doing something for yourself.. reading.. relaxing.. goggling... remember you are important too. Hair appt this afternoon so 2 hours
    13. Change pet bedding and wash blankies etc.. we don't want them putting you off your christmas sprouts! Cat generally sleeps on lap – any available lap – but have cleaned out my newly acquired litter tray
    14. Dust round the whole downstairs Done
    15. do a crazy HHC decluttering downstairs All papers cleared around Desktop, Newspapers and cardboard put out for recycling being collected tomorrow. No other clutter found

    I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun ;)

    I have a lovely clean bed with new egyptian cotton sheets and the new duvet set mother gave me last Christmas (was told not to use it until my bedroom was done!!:rolleyes:)
    And you did what she told you to???:p

    Tonight's entertainment :D

    Stockings pretty much sorted.

    Need to get my laundry ready to go on tomorrow, and I really will have to pack during the day so I'm ready if the weather has improved by Wednesday :rolleyes:

    One lot of truffles left to do, plus fudge, plus mince pies...
