Oh no serena not good, hope she is feeling better soon
Triker pleased your DH got home ok, even if it took ages at least he is home. You just reminded me I need to check our Hull presents arrived ok.
kiwiblue enjoy your hot Christmas....
kazm & macpep ((hugs)) men eh!
pigpen for someone so stressed you seem very organised, yes, here's to next years Christmas!!
rach they are on FB but not regular flying, maybe they are so organused now they don't need it? I know polkadot popped in a while ago, Pinkfairy too.

Left DP & the boys to it, came home to a decorated tree (boys chose 1 new bauble each, they were 49p so didn't mind & we always let them choose a new one each year to go with the £1 shop ones, lights outside I failed to notice as I came in & boys in bed DP was testing the 'rock band' thing for the wii. There is a little clip snapped but nothing serious for a second hand bargain. Survived the rather empty, as in shelves, supermarket. Waiting for them to bring deliveries in to get stuff = not fun. At least was no queues & my meat is ordered. Collected parcels from old house, met LL face-face for first time which was odd. She's done loads we wanted to do to the house, looks nice, was a bit odd walking in but good that it was so different.

Found his Dad's present, phew, got all the presents down from wall unit for me to sort....so there is the boys ones to pick out & hide, the rest of the shopping to put away then bed!

I'm off to the farm & collect the Chameleon tomorrow, then sisters at 4pm to meet my Mam & give my neice & nephew presents. Easier now I can speak to my sister, just, she added me on FB as a friend so must be calming down.

Stay safe & Happy Christmas Eve everyone x x x

(Xmas Eve list below)

Evening or should I say morning!
Not been around since the tail end of last week, now that the children are off I have descended into general slave mode and dont seem to get a minute's peace.
We've had quite a lot of snow (for here) and the councils are rubbish so everything has been at a complete standstill for days. DH been working from home which has been wuite nice tho I'm sure it makes me less productive.

We are all ready for Friday. Just got to peel veg tomorrow and put children's presents out tomorrow night with obligatory treat for Santa

Not done much flying, just the basics - kept up with laundry, shopping, cooking, cleaned bathrooms today, hoovered downstairs yesterday, just need to get round with a duster and that will do I reckon.

Christmas Eve List:

- breakfast and tidy up
- declutter front room
- dust front room
- dust bedrooms
- put laundry away
- HHI
- lunch and tidy up
- prep veg for tomorrow
- clean kitchen
- polish school shoes, they are lying around winding me up

- nativity service if roads ok
- tea and tidy up
- stockings out
- Santa treat out
- final presents under tree

A very, very good morning to you all. I know I'm not the only one that's about or been about at silly o clock because juliejim thanked the post above this before me. If that makes sense?

I've tried but I can't sleep. Woke up hungry and thirsty, because like a fool I left the heating on!:rolleyes: Which is probably why I can't sleep even though I really, really want too!

Anyway, I found a turkey last night!:j Mr M saved Christmas Day for the second year running. Nothing in Mr T's or Mr A's or Mr S's. But Mr M came up trumps!!:T
And I now refuse to go anywhere near a supermarket until next year!

Kitten update - They have settled in beautifully now. Sweepy dog has been accepted and is their surrogate mum. Awwww!!! Miss Tag rang last night and said she's soooooo excited about getting them today. She still doesn't know they're already here. Certainly better getting them early. I think she would have found them a bit boring as they didn't do much to begin with. Now however, it's a very different story. Yes, I had forgotten just how much mischief two kittens can get up to, but they are so sweet and such fun to watch:D:D Plus they both enjoy their cuddles!!

I'm going to find a list. I still need too wrap so I'll do some of that in a minute
as well.

Back in a bit...............
