Someone will probably come on and say you shouldn't but we've been doing it for 20 years and it's not caused any problems! I'm as sane as they come:rotfl:xx

Sorry I've not been about today, spent the day feeling dizzy and lightheaded, even though I'm eating sensibly. But I feel really sick and headachy now. Wonder if it's a virus. So I've not flown, which is why I've not posted.

Sorry for rambling. See you all soon, hope you are all ok. Hugs to Lady Liberty

thifty

it's stress Rose that's why you feel wierd. Big hug for you and your hubby. I'm off to bed now as child minding has worn me out! Night all sleep well

Wonders will never cease and just to prove my hubby isn't all last minute and not doing stuff - he's wrapping my presents and it's not Christmas Eve. Not only that - he bought them himself!!!! Oh, and apparently I need to cancel the joiner because he's going the skirting over Christmas!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well, you need to tell him that you won't cancel until it's actually been done!

5. S&S the bathroom/s and loo's
6. Clean the oven and hob ready for your feast!
7. Clean the fridge to accommodate you bounty of food
8. Change any bedding you need to get washed before the fat guy arrives.. and I do not mean the OH/parent/ etc - this will be done on Christmas Eve:)
   
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..? - off to MIL's and I am on washing up duty afterwards
   
10. Catch up on the laundry .. ironing is tomorrows job!
11. Phone someone you 'forgot' to post a card/present to in time.. just so they know you've not forgotten them...
12. Spend at least half an hour doing something for yourself.. reading.. relaxing.. goggling... remember you are important too.
13. Change pet bedding and wash blankies etc.. we don't want them putting you off your christmas sprouts! - they are getting new bedding for Christmas - shh!!!

4. Get rid of the washing up.. delegation is good!
5. get out any special christmas crockery and make sur eit is all clean and nice to use.. placemats etc too! - bought my fancy crackers to take to in laws:)
   
6. Prepare a list for that last second shopping
7. Declutter your desk.. if it is anything like mine it is full of receipts and invoices!
8. 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! - already set the V+ box for the recordings. MIL doesn't have the t.v. on at hers so we catch up on Christmas tv on Boxing Day.

Went to see mum and put her necklace on. She asked where it had been and I just said I had been getting it fixed. She was over the moon as she thought it was the original one. Just pleased to see her happy again. I havent looked at the list today. I did hoover right through before I went out this morning and have done some washing tonight.

aww bless her
I have been keeping schtum over this as I remember the same thing happening to my Grandma and HER necklace never turned up...
and it makes me so cross
it's as if 'they' know that their charges aren'tthe full shilling so 'they' will help themselves
it's blimmin disgraceful IMO
these are people who have given to their families...
