    Morning All

    I've stripped DD's bed (as she's asleep in mine) and loaded the WM. I need to finish writing the family Christmas cards before my mum comes at 8.25 so she can take them with her and I want to do some more ironing. I also want to sort out the conservatory floor a bit so I can put some stuff in there. I also didn't get round to sorting my kitchen cupboard out yesterday so I need to do that too. I'm thinking that the stuff I need for Christmas eve I'll leave out on the side in the kitchen, what do you think?

    Hugs MrsC

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning Jue :D Just leave the stuff out if it's not gonna be in your way.

    I've just remembered there's 2 carrier bags in the car with giant stocking stuff in, need to go and get them they've been there since Tuesday. I'll bung them in the stocking too then it's done (bulking littleys stuff out as there doesn't seem to be much- though money wise there's a fortune :eek: )

    I'm marvin'.....will make toast and empty the DW whilst I'm there.

    Jackywhizz - can I swap my ironing pile for yours?

    Food cupboard done, dishes done, camping table cleaned, cards written. I'm going to clear the DR table now and then start on the ironing at 7.

    Morning Jacky Morning Dusty Morning Mumto5

    I could so curl up and go to sleep right now *yawn* I've finished wrapping :j and the giant stocking stuff is in from the car, stuffed in the stocking and I've hidden it. Lily cat is doing my head in, in and blummin out make your mind up cat! Checked online bank, checked cinema times for next week, straightened LR, sorted DR table, toyed with the idea of going to Asda....!!!!!! for I don't know! somebody slap me!

    Really want to fill and put the bins out but it's still dark and sleepy outside, will have to wait a bit. Need to make my sarnies for work and get changed. Will bring overflowing washing basket down with me when I go up to get ready. I really could do with having today off just to have a sleep and finalise everything ready for the big day, ho-hum at least I have work which I'm very grateful for.

    Have a fab day guys and gals. Safe, happy travels to the big smoke Dusty x
