My home is a mess

A quick Happy Christmas to those [STRIKE]escaping[/STRIKE] leaving us for cleaner pastures today.:j

I distinctly remember saying at lunchtime that I needed to focus or SIT DOWN, otherwise I'd end up faffing the day away again without actually getting any rest. Hmmmmm. However, I did go to the supermarket-Aldi once and Sainsbury's once, realised I'd forgotten something then went back with DD...fatal. NNNNNNNNNNNo! I need to practise saying that in front of the mirror.

And the recycling bin is chock full, and it isn't even Christmas yet. I'll get my extra collection on 4 January. That's handy :mad:

I suppose, having given up on the rest idea, I might as well do something tonight. After this cup of tea....:rotfl:

Hi messies, poorly family member is bearing up well - we're going again on Christmas day. I have tomorrow at home and will get a bit more done towards a tidy home but am not going to overdo it now. I can't believe how fast this week has gone!

Rummer, glad you're feeling better!

Cat, pizza (cake/chocolate/sweets) in bed is one of life's essential comforts and it will undoubtedly recharge your batteries ready for the weekend!

Helen, I am always in awe of your ironing skills - I tend to wear slightly wrinkled things and hope they'll de wrinkle themselves from body heat!

GQ hope you have a good time over Christmas, will you be online? If not have a very happy one.

Buffy yay, well done with the tree!

Sonastin, my poor mum always has to get her own present from dad, but when I can I make him give me the money for what she wants, and get it and wrap it "from" dad!

MessyMare hope you made it to 8pm ok!

Edit: Laurel, I toyed with the idea of an evening of tidying, but it's not happening... I'm off to get some more coffee!

Hi everyone. Mummy dearest has gone home with five year old niece in tow,she lives with my mum. Was okay as both oh and mother were on best behaviour.
My dd is full of cold and passed it to me. It seems that the entire country is coming down with bugs.
We are going to have a big tidy tommorrow so oh says. I seem to have a big tidy everyday but hey ho.
Iv one present to wrap and thats it. All shopping out of the way and now looking forward to christmas day.
Watched the horder . Felt really sorry for him with the snobs in the village. Im glad that someone was decent enough to help him.

Morning messies, well done to those conquering the messy gene (I can almost include myself in that now!)

This morning I am having a lazy breakfast before finishing off the tidying and making the living room habitable again. After that I shall be wrapping presents (yes, I left it THIS late!) and getting my packing list organised for going to stay at the parents' house for a few days.

After that, I shall play with my new sewing machine! I figured out how to wind a bobbin last night, soooo proud of myself! Today I'll learn how to do the top thread and have a go at some different stitches.

Merry Christmas everyone!

:eek: I was so poorly yesterday I stayed in bed... Overslept this morning after the dear neighbours decided to wake me up by having a LOUD conversation with vans running, right outside my house before daylight :mad: DDs are at mums now and I have precisely 4 hours and 41 minutes before the MrT Xmas shop is delivered... AND I have to go to town to get more Xmas shopping :eek:

Why can't they make Christmas on the 28th/29th/30th or even combine with New Year? It would give me an extra few days

I realy MUST say :xmassign: to everyone before I go to my mum's in Norfolk for the wkend.

I have been running around like a headless chicken all wk (where did it go :eek:)
I managed to catch up this morning but have not stopped since then.

I had to tak DD to work for 9am and dropped of 2 cards for a friend on the way back then I turfed my DS and his friend who stopped last night out of bed

I have hoovered through,
Packed all the bags. OH and DS are traveling over tomorrow as OH has to work till 6pm
I have loaded the car, still trying to work out where me, DD and 2 dogs are going to sit yet :rotfl:

I am now having a coffee before round 2, the stuff OH has to bring, must remember to leave it where he will see it :rotfl:

I have had my letter about my new job, I start 5th Jan working 2pm-4pm :j so I will have my evenings back to sew my bags and chat on here .

I went out on my last xmas work dinner on Wed I am going to miss the crazy bunch but me being me could not get out of work mode and found myself tidying the table of cracker paper and bits I just wish I had that same motivation to do it here in my home, Oh well always next year lol

If I can I might be able to hijack my mum's PC to catch up again if not

HAPPY CHRISTMAS :xmastree::xmassmile:snow_laug:snow_grin
