Morning, still no heating but landlady's hubby should be here this morning to fix it *fingers crossed* just as we are going away tomorrow! Thank goodness it's been a bit milder this week.

Today I have a cake to ice, some rice crispie cake "coal" to make and to finish packing, and do my nails this evening and then we are ready to be off! I would also like to hoover the stairs and landing but can't find the brush head for the hoover anywhere. Very odd!

I hope no-one's in a flap and if I don't get back on have a lovely lovely Christmas x

OK, so I've got until midday - after that my time isn't my own...

Vague list as follows:

Clear hallway
Sort Christmas food out and put into kitchen cupboards (it's currently in a crate in the hall cupboard)
Clear living room - piles of papers, junk, etc, dust and hoover
Wrap presents, write cards
Clean downstairs loo
Clean kitchen

Post-midday tasks, along with a glass or two of something warming...

Ironing - pile measuring exactly 3 feet tall :eek:
Make mince pies, Christmas cupcakes (DD doesn't like Christmas pudding, so has these instead).

Right, better get a wriggle on
Have a good day

Dancemum well done on making your tablecloth

Window men here again today glass changing but fortunately in DHs office so shouldn't bother me too much.

Turkey has been located in Brighton, order went with somebody eleses so the company owner is driving from Devon to Brighton to Hertfordshire to deliver it :eek:

Right I need to check the bank account and move some money as DH booked our flights to the US for Easter:j We had been waiting for the Virgin Flight sale and have saved about £100 :money:

Morning lovelies! :wave:

Congrats roundtuit :T

Went late night shopping at Asda last night which meant I was up till gone 12 so I slept till the alarm went off this morning, but how the heck I got through yesterday is anyone's guess, I was dead on my feet all day hahaha! Last day today then I'm off for 9 days yippee :j

Teenie did some housework yesterday so it's looking all good here at the minute. Need to load the DW with some bits and carry on with the washing. I have 40 packing boxes and a very large roll of bubble wrap to pop for my breakables, bring on the packing yeah!

Ok listy

load DW
WM
TD
work 6 hrs
town for bank and M&S
farmfoods on way home from work
littley drop off and pick up from nanas
get gas/elec

If I get chance I'm gonna put together OH's new bike but I'll need teenies help so need to co-ordinate when convenient for both of us. Worst comes to the worst I'll give him it still in the box and he can put it together
