    i'm jumping back in again!

    I've had a few days off because i haven't been feeling too great and DH has been working such silly hours that i have been having to do everything myself.

    I've managed to get my cards written, and just need to print some photos off to go in some of them, then deliver or post them. Need to buy a couple of special cards. :j

    My xmas pud and cake were delivered last Monday, so they have been deposited at my parents house.:D

    I'm working towards next weekend for finishing off the present buying, buying a real tree to put up, DH putting up the outside lights and getting the main food shop done. So that means i can be tidying the house, making the stockings, and generally trying to keep busy around the baby. I hate not being organised, although i suppose i have been less organised when i have been at work, i've just not had time to worry about it. :rotfl:

    2 weeks today we will be sitting eating the dinner. :eek: At least i don't have to worry about the cooking.

    Michelle, xx

    Hope you are feeling much better now, Michelle.

    I took two of the boys shopping last night for their gifts to give. Think we cracked it . . . now have the other two to take!

    Mine for the day was buying more presents, DPs Dad (the difficult one to buy for) is now sorted and have bought some red paper to make a 'Deal or No Deal' box :) Also was to post the ones which needed to be sent, last ones gone now so no more to post.

    Tomorrow - must sort my course portfolio as needs handing in tomorrow, and write Xmas cards.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Ok I'll reply seeing as noone else has!

    Today was my ME day, I went and had a reflexology session to help with the pre Christmas stress.

    I also ordered some more presents, and tried to find out what I can get my Dad but had no luck there :(

    Finished the outside of the Dolls house!!!! Pressies are sorted out now, some still need assembly but I'm getting there.
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Me again!

    I'm going to help my mother do her christmas shopping tonight. she spends I carry the goods!

    I've unearthed another box of presents to wrap which I hope to get done at the weekend, I'll farm DS1 out whever I can and get them done.
    Still have the last few presents to buy and still need the money to purchase them with!
    I have £250 to spend so it should easily cover it all.
    Think we are done other than that.. I'll go back and check my list!

    Going to dig out my Christmas cards today and write them out :) Was hoping to get away with sending none, but some of the old aunties would probably have a heart attack if they didn't get one.

    Will also check out christmas wrapping, and if needed, buy some more. (It's on special at one of the local shops.)

    Oh pigpen I do feel for you, hope it doesn't go too badly.

    Mine for the day was Christmas cards and school fayre.

    Well today I went with DP to sort his other Xmas present. Wrote cards on the way (he drove so didn't waste any time) came back and helped out at school fayre was chaos to say the least, and forgot my cards I spent all that bumpy ride writing out, typical. Anyway swimming for tonight has been cancelled so after drivin there and back I might have an hour or so to fit in sorting through toiletries in the bathroom. Going to use some 'unused' gifts we've had over the year to make extra presents.

    Tomorrow is to sort out more presents which are gift vouchers for spa days and beauty treatments mainly, which means driving to them to get them sorted, haven't left enough time for cheques to clear and have them sent out, ooops, got 4 other things from shops after that which can be done next week, then I am all finished :) I also have to go to the butchers and see if I am too late to order my Xmas meat which I forgot about, seeing as I haven't done Xmas dinner before :(
