    Where have I been???? Oh my 6 days off here and it shows but nearly organised for Xmas, only need to get a joint of beef, all the veggies nsd a couple more puddings as we have 12 round this year :eek:

    As for present I still have my niece and nephews money cards to get and I just put £10 in each of them.........so that's £40, socks for the fil, something else for the mil, a toy for my mindee, and sweeties for my kids

    For playgroup I still need to get a soft toy for a baby that attends and 20 selection boxes so will do that this weekend so it's all done at

    My decoartionsm finally got put up house was gutted only room neglected is abbies room where everything was dumped so my mission for today will be to get the guinea pigs cleaned out and I need to tidy up her room and change the bedding to the Xmas bedding just in case we have guests staying over during the holidays :cool:

    Hubby bought me a shark Hoover........omg the dust that came out of my carpets after I had hoovered it with the dyson .......eewwwwwww it's gross just goes to show you :eek:

    It's raining terribly here and I have the nursery runs today :( we are going to get soaked hopefully I can get back quickly and perhaps wrap some pressies up that can go under the tree means I clear a space in my cupboard xx

    I have the money for hubby's intense motorbike lesson course cost a pretty penny but he wouldn't have been able to save that money so it'll be a huge surprise for him, he better appreciate it :rotfl:

    Abbie is still enjoying her job in fact she's doing such a great job they've got her working 40 hours now so she's delighted she'll have a decent pay packet when she gets paid xx
    Right I'm ff to catch up on other people's diaries

  • Wow, busy busy.

    I am sure he will like the present. I bet he will be really surprised.

    It's nice when jobs are enjoyed, it doesn't feel like work at all when it is like that.

    I was trying to plan and organise Christmas presents today. I hope I haven't missed anyone!
