    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Welcome new flyers x

    Been up since 4am which isn't good, I feel wide awake now but I'll be flagging later on and I have 2 houses to clean and a full on personal list- oh dear! What can you do tho eh *shrugs* :)

    Listy:-

    Quick spruce of LR
    empty DW
    reload DW
    emoty TD
    load WM
    make beds
    littley drop off at nanas
    check online bank
    pay bills online
    work 6 hrs
    write SIL's Birthday cards
    ^^^go over to visit
    clean kitchen
    finalise online food shop
    sort tea (no idea what to make)
    phone customer re: change of day

    Pressies all wrapped just waiting on 6 more deliveries this week :eek: seeing as I'll not be in it will be interesting :rotfl: will wrap those as and when I receive them. Christmas food shop done yesterday morning first thing, I bought frozen veg for the big day as a back up but will be getting fresh closer to the day a: If I can be bothered and b: if they have any left. Turkey and other meats are frozen so no worries there.

    Customer cards ready to go this week, everything pretty much under control although my head feels like it's going to explode with all the things I've got to think about and sort. Suddenly feel tired now :o might manage forty winks.

    Laters x
  • im in..but im going to have to get upstairs done today and tomorrow while the kids are at school and leave downstairs till later in week so i dont have to do everything twice. got visitors over 4 days starting on christmas day so will be chaos here

    on the plus side everything is wrapped except a few things left to buy or be delivered and my meal plan and tesco shop are prety much sorted

    hope everyone has a good week as i might only nip in for lists and not post till the end xx
    Have a Bsc Hons open degree from the Open University 2015 :j:D:eek::T
  • One of the archery coaches died last week and have just discovered the funeral is today at 10.30. Need to get DS1 out of bed to go - hope he wasn't awake half last night:cool:
  • another couldn't sleep here - been up since 5.30ish :mad:

    But have day at home with DS, and a long list being made, lets hope he'll play nicely so I can get some of it done!

    Right, seems a good time for a HHI

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    I'm awake, mind you i could have slept on.......yawn.......
    DD up and dressed then i'll get the boys up once DD is away. Boys finish today at 12 then need to get DS2's glasses fixed (again). :mad: Must get more wrapping paper when i'm in and do some more wrapping.

    Own list
    1) Church service
    2) order meds
    3) get teacher cards wrote
    4) get glasses fixed
    5) give kitchen a quick tidy
    6) give livingroom a quick tidy
    7) get washing finished
    8) do messages in town, including abit of a food shop
    9) wrap some more presents
    10) get cards wrote and posted

    That should keep me busy..

    Short_bird i hope the problem gets sorted soon, what a nightmare..

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning All

    Shortbird - hope it gets sorted out soon and OH is ok.
    jackywhizz - hugs for your DS and you of course
    seafarers - make sure you put your feet up - that is why DH is there to look after you and Benjamin and to make sure you get some rest!
    Dusty - I've added the ironing challenge to post 2 and then it's easy to find ready for you next week! Hope that's ok.

    So far this morning I've been playing around with posts 1 & 2 and making lists for the rest of the week! If anyone has any thing else that they think I should add to the Christmas challenges, please let me know.

    I'm not planning on going out today until I go to Beavers/Cubs tonight - of course that could all change. I've still got to empty my car and unpack the stuff from the weekend - DH was parked on the drive yesterday when I got home so I had to park round the corner and I wasn't carrying all my stuff through the ice. My car's on the drive now though so I'll empty it at some point today.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all

    Jue thanks for taking on the ironing challenge

    Karen welcome

    Physio have rang to cancel DS1's first assessment. So whilst that frees up today I had arranged my week around it.

    So no excuse not to get on with the flying! Just having a cuppa and dealing with emails and then I'm making the christmas pudding and wiping down in the kitchen.
