    Denise, please can we have a picture of the kitties? They do mostly grow out of the pooing fairly quickly. One of mine likes being sick under our bed at strange times in the night though....

    Surrounded by boxes, not a lot of cleaning going on, mostly packing and being tired. Expect mad flurry of cleaning activity Tuesday afternoon followed by manic cleaning of new place Wednesday.

Anyway the rest will have to be added to the lists for the rest of the week, which I expected anyway, I didn't think I would do it all.

    Got to Spa centre and book 4 spas for Xmas presents
    Buy 5 more presents (no idea what to get them, argh!)
    Model shop for parts for DPs car (didn't have the parts oh dear)
    Kids collected
    Son back to school, and collected, after getting changed for Xmas party[/STRIKE]
    Wrap all the presents & label
    Write family cards out
    Deliver neighbours cards
    Kids fed, bathed etc

    Supermarket first thing
    Shift garden stuff and some plants in trailer
    Get rid of dirty washing mountain
    Do some ironing
    Clean house - new people are coming tonight to drop some garden stuff off and look at water stop taps and other exciting stuff
    Do some more packing - not a lot more to do really, boxing everything non daily use when I de cluttered prior to selling has paid off ;)
    wait in for ds1's much wanted golden coin maker to be delivered

    Slightly depressed re-reading that, tired to start with and ds2 got up at 5.30am. I am sat here fully dressed, with the washing machine on and with plans to go and clean the kitchen next. What happened to my life :o ?

    oh, and I really must buy my OH a present at some point, he has had his main one but he needs something to open on the day.
