Blimey! How did you manage to do ALL that? I've just unpacked the shopping (having had it delivered - we haven't got a car) and cleaned the stove bit of the cooker and had to sit down for a cuppa.

I have had lunch but am hungry again..so might sample some of the shopping, just to make sure it's ok and all...

I need to buy a sewing machine for my mother and get some of the money back from my sisters.. we have agreed to all club in and get her one.

I need to get some nick-nacks for hubby.. I have got him a new bag for his lappy, but he can't just have one boring present.. so.. I will get him some smaller boring presents too!

I need to get some thing for my 2 younger, working, childless sisters.. I have them some smellies and am getting one a twinkly belt and both some perfume and a bracelet and maybe a voucher for some new shoes or clothes for the other sister... we shall see. She is one of those people that nothing is ever good enough so it doesn't matter what I get her she won't be happy lol.

Oh no! The midwives (yes, two!) came today while I was in my tracky-dackies and mid-clean..the place is a tip. :embarass:

Meant I didn't get to post off my parcels today but I suppose it means that I can space out the cleaning a bit more now. Phew.

Ok i really need to be in on this as am more disorganised this year than ever.

Have all adult presents and believe have enough wrapping paper, need to pull out all the kids pressies and see what else i need to buy them (didnt keep a list this year!) and have a birthday also before Xmas.

On the house front have decluttered childrens bedrooms and playroom. Need to get on top of my business paperwork so only have to do the bare minimum when the kids break up from school.

Have got a very busy week on my business front so need to fit in Flying when I can. Tomorrow is main admin day but will also aim to clear washing basket and ironing pile, as well as doing daily basics which are cleaning kitchen, bathrooms and hoovering stairs and hallway (have an awful carpet on the stairs which shows every bit of dirt.

Another must do item this week is sort out freezers so can fit all the xmas food in, have a tesco delivery slot booked for the 22/12 so need to go over that list and make sure everything is ordered.

Anyway first plan of action is to get an early night in tonight so am full of enery tomorrow!

Wohooo DS2s room done, feeling guilty as it's empty. He did have over 20 toy boxes, and now he has 5 and they aren't even half full. Got a few appointments tomorrow but oing to try to do DS2s room at same time, which includes clearing the toys/clutter/junk, sorting the toys and labelling boxes, building new PC desk and throwing out the old one, probably have to do another tip run. Just shows how much we've been flinging as my the second wheelie bin (neighbour away) is full and filled the Jeep today and took that to the tip and there is more. Blimey!! My house will be sihing with relief.
