Morning all!

Going to aim for a lazy weekend after the business off the last couple of months. To be fair, there's still a lot to do but none of it is too taxing.

Had a lovely evening to myself last night as DH was on a work Christmas dinner. I went through my finances and sorted my new savings accounts for next year. I just chilled and watched a film - a bIt of Keanu does a girl's soul some good!

Today I will be
- finishing the Christmas cards and posting them
-posting best friend's present
- collecting parcels from the sorting office
-buying birthday present for dad
-catching up on some ironing
-visiting my cousin and herfamily tonight
-a bit of tidying
-bake banana bread with some over-ripe banana s


I even think I may have money left over this month which will be great and help with getting things moving positively for next year!

Have a great day all!

How did it get to be nearly 1pm!!!

We did go to my cousins last night but I was so tired that we were home by 10pm . I went straight to bed and didn't wake up until after 9. I still feel a bit fuggy. I think it is the ongoing effects of the cold DH decided to share this week!

From Yesterdays list:
- finishing the Christmas cards and posting them MOSTLY
-[STRIKE]posting best friend's present[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]collecting parcels from the sorting office[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]-buying birthday present for dad[/STRIKE]
-catching up on some ironing
-[STRIKE]visiting my cousin and herfamily tonight[/STRIKE]
-a bit of tidying
-bake banana bread with some over-ripe banana s

Today I will:
- write and post the last of the Christmas cards
- attack the ironing
- bake the banana cake
- one load washing
- visit dad taking a few things that need doing (he has a good dry cleaners near him and a great tailor who will be able to re-line my coat)
- take dad out for birthday dinner

I have paid the TV licence for the next year - early rather than late as last year! Thankfully my budget allows me to put the money aside each month for the annual costs and this is definately something I did not do prior to my MSE days.

Right - better get on with the ironing! It may even help me to get warm.

Hi All,

Not much to report. My grandmother is very poorly in hospital and there isn't anything they can now do except keep
her comfortable. I am, if course, upset but just don.t want her to suffer. DH is being fab - Christmas is his festival but I don.t think we'll be able to celebrate properly.

I got paid on Friday but I wont allocate my money beyond basic direct debits a s we may need money for other things and to help out my uncle and dad.

Hope you are all okay and wish you all a lovely Christmas and New Year..

Thanks guys. I do have to report that I ended up having a lovely Christmas. Dad and I arrived at the hospital at 2 on Christmas Day to find gran wide awake.it was a lovely surprise. It's created lots of too-ing and fro-ing as she is very confused but as we are off work we can be available.

I do have to say I am knackered and your advice about taking time out for me is very pertinent Hypno! I have been going to the hospital alot as I live closest and my aunt is recovering from cancer treatment so gets tired. I know that I need some time out too this break as I am exhausted!

I'm at the in laws at the moment. Waiting four DH to finish watching the footie. I so want to go to bed.

Hi All,

Gran is much improving! She's going to be in for a while yet. I've been going every day but am now exhausted.this was going to be my rest and catch up with myself week. I'm not going today to give me a chance to 1, rest and 2, get a few things done.I was going to have a lie in today but the laws of sod has had me up since about 5 am!

I still have managed to do some shopping. Some jeans as my every day pair had ripped, some body butters that were reduced and a few other bits. I think I may go intoCentral with DH and exchange an item, have a look around and head back in time for lunch.

Here.so my list for today:
- washing
- ironing
- shopping
- exchange item
-face pack
-Invite friends for drinks
-read for a while (I have so many books but spend far too long on internet!)
- update spending diary
- put away Christmas pressies
- declutter 10 items

Well I may as well get up and get started!
