    Evening all. Work finished till 3rd Jan and now I need to chase my tail for a while.

    So much to do tomorrow, sign me up for the targets but I really need to lower my standard or I will be cross.

    Still have all the presents to wrap, and no kitchen :cool:

    The bits that are finished are stunning, and it will be lovely when it is done.

    See, if you can do it then I can do it tomorrow. I just need to go to bed early and sleep enough to not be sore and then crack on. :A

    Well I wrapped 13 presents, 25 left to do, oh and DS has asked if I'll wrap the presents that he's bought this year 'cause I'm so good at wrapping!!!!! Yeah right haha.

    When I read Bonnie's news earlier this week I crossed my fingers for me next....and I've had a phone call this afti offering me 6 weeks fulltime work starting on Wednesday!!!! I've accepted and have to go down at 10am tomorrow to meet the team. It's with the Adoption and Fostering team which is based in the village in which I live....so even if it snows I'll be ok for the commute. (I have a thing about driving in snow). And as exOH has just pointed out I was praying for a job, but not before Christmas haha, so my criteria have been met!!!! Fingers crossed and prayers now that the 6 weeks morphs into 6 months or longer.

    Life is what happens while you're making other plans!!

    Roundtuit well done

    Goodintentions so sorry to hear DH is working over Christmas

    Done my last food shop (well I couldn't get bread or cream so I'll pick those up tomorow)

    Just doing a bit of dinner for DH and I and then I'll do some ironing. Feeling exhausted but in a manic fidgety way.

    DS3 has managed to leave the freezer door ajar for a few hours - nothing defrosting but it's iced up good and proper and it's full. I'll have to defrost it PDQ after Christmas.

    Evening all

    roundtuit - congrats.
    Good intentions - sorry your DH will be away over Christmas.
    Glad you had a good time in London, dusty. Hugs and spoons to everyone coping with trialing times.

    Plan for the next three days:
    make final shopping list
    finish tidying and cleaning LR
    decorate LR
    write and take last cards
    [STRIKE]bake 2 cakes[/STRIKE]
    bake twinks
    bake florentines
    buy last presents (quite a few left to do)
    buy last stocking fillers
    last supermarket shop
    last other foodshop (market, butcher, bread, Jack Fulton's)
    buy newspaper and do lottery
    wrap
    clean bathroom (window sill, loo, sink, bath, floor)
    change bedding
    [STRIKE]set DS1's rew radiator up[/STRIKE]
    tidy and clean DR (at least table and area around it)
    if time, do more in kitchen and DS2's room

    I've been busy, even though it doesn't show on the list. Hairdresser's before tea and I've just delivered the cake to the friend down the road and had a little chat.

    The rooms is almost done with just the mantelpiece left. It's not perfect to proper deep clean standard, but it will have to do. DS1 has brought all the Christmas boxes down and I'm just going to check Mr M's opening times before DS2 and I have a go at the tree.
