I had a burst of energy when I went to make a cuppa and did my own little HHC without really realising it!

I've given the fridge and oven a clean (though the oven was ok really as DH did it a coupld of weeks ago), sorted out the recycling, recycling box from kitchen is now soaking, put all the washing away and washed up! I also put the wm on as the basket seemed to have filled up again since Sunday! Bed will be changed tomorrow when DH can help me turn the mattress and I will change all the towels thursday so they're nice and fresh for Christmas day

update:

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.
2. Change any bedding you need to get washed before the fat guy arrives.. and I do not mean the OH/parent/ etc
3. Make sure your timetable for Christmas day is sorted and everyone knows their tasks.. who is spud peeling? Who is stuffing the bird etc..?
4. Phone someone you 'forgot' to post a card/present to in time.. just so they know you've not forgotten them...doing emails!
   

Tuesday - Time's nearly up!!!

1. Vacuum through downstairs.. and the stairs!
2. Prepare a list for that last second shopping
3. Have a skim through the TV guide and decide what you want to watch.. it saves missing bits of stuff if you know what is on and when!! Don't forget to make time for Queenie!
4. Wash any soft furnishings in need of freshening up
5. Spend half an hour doing NOTHING!!.. absolutely nothing!!!! Just sit.. and relax with a drink and a treat!

Well done JulieJim!

Mudders, can't you run up a series of material sausage dogs stuffed with old tights (or even real dog hair!) to plug the gaps?

Hurrah! I've finished wrapping all the pressies though I've realised I need to buy 1 more stocking filler and two more main pressies but I can do that tomorrow afternoon.

House is slowly warming up. I've removed the dressing gown, gloves and beanie hat but still have two pairs of socks on my feet and 3 layers on my top. My bedroom is now at 14 F when first thing this morning it was at 8F....

Of to properly organise this pile of presents and then Dyson the front room
