Thanks, earthie!
Well it's just gone 8.30am and I'm sat in bed with a cup of tea pretty much unheard of! DH is outside, starting to sort the Xmas lights out there. I shall get up shortly and start on some of the stuff inside - I'll pack the Xmas glasses (with Father Xmas on) mugs and teatowels away first and then some easy things before moving on to tackling all the trees.... 🎄🎄
DS1 has announced he isn't going back to.uni until.late/ end of Jan at the earliest as he has exams this month so wants minimal disruption (and perhaps a bigger bedroom, more space, his meals and laundry done for him....,? 😃🤔)
I hear DS3 coming up the stairs... time to drink up and get up, I feel! 😄I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £207 -
