What a difference half an hour makes! I have just been into the small room for my HHC and although most of it was tidying into relevant piles the room looks so much better. I have a box of books ready to rehome downstairs and another pile to go into the garage after Christmas. I am hoping when DH sees it he may be spurred on to muck in and get it organised.

Anyway I am going to stop for lunch now and then I really should have a shower! Think I will nip out to get this gift for my mum too, think I am going to get a scarf as I know where to go for that. Will be back later when hopefully I can cross even more off my list!

My own list for today:

Get a small gift for my mum and wrap it
Get food shopping
[STRIKE]HHC in small room[/STRIKE]
Oh...and the lists

Monday - kitchen and dining room
Level three
Make sure you have everything bought/ordered/list made for the weekend. Just need to buy fresh food

Tuesday - Living Room, hall, downstairs loo, any other downstairs rooms you've missed
Level Two
Last minute check on presents - have you got everything? 1 left to buy

Wednesday - Upstairs or Downstairs if it's a bungalow or a topsy-turvy house!
Level Two

Good afternoon

Kids have gone home :j need to hoover downstairs (these 3 children make A LOT of crumbs!!), but DD2 is using the hoover upstairs :eek: (yes, you heard that right!) DH has thoroughly cleaned the upstairs bathroom :j:j

I think we will take the dog for a long run now, as it looks lovely & sunny out there (may need wellies though). Then I will put the casserole on (yum! my favourite )

Present drop done - and two hours spent over coffee and a catch up with DF and her DD. Bliss.

Flying has improved my life in a significant area - I can wrap presents at the kitchen table (whereas I used to have to wrap them on my bed, it being the only available uncluttered horizontal area...and that led to an aching back and knees). I love wrapping anyway, so the fact that it is now a painfree exercise is a bonus.

So my task for this afti is to wrap as many presents as possible...all would be good, but we'll see. Two more present drops to do, if I can arrange them for tomorrow I'll have all Christmas Eve day at home...oh my, that sounds amazing.

Catch you later with a progress report xx
