Morning all

Thank you for the thread, Jue (I forgot my manners yesterday - sorry!).

shortbird - that sounds grim. Sending coping vibes.

greenbee - thank for the advice. They turned out really well, but I've yet to add the chocolate, so that will be done later.

Can I join the Christmas Eve challenge, too, please? If I aim for lunch I may be done by teatime, as opposed to 2am!

I meant to be up early, but that didn't happen. However, it meant that OH made me a cuppa before he went to work and I had tea in bed.
Got up at 8.30 and put WM/TD on again, fed the cat and quickly tidied the worktops.

DS2 and I have to be out by 10.30 (meeting a very important man with a red suit and a white beard in a very lovely place) and before then I need to:
check e-mails to find booking number for this morning (forgot to print at work )
update budget after shopping spree yesterday
get dressed
DS2's breakfast
get DS2 ready
go into our little towncentre for bread and some cash for niece's present
get niece's card and present ready for DS1 to deliver

Have a good day, everyone. x

Can I also take this opportunity to wish all my lovely flylady friends a very happy and peaceful christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

As the regulars know, I don't send cards on here but make a donation for a light on our local hospice christmas tree to think of all the regular posters, the not so regular posters and the lurkers too. This year i've got an extra light in memory of absent friends, their friends and their families.

Just removed 12 items from The Leaning Tower of Ironingincluding DS1's karate gee which will be back on there tomorrow or Wednesday:(

Now time to try to drag him from his pit:rotfl:

Morning all

Welcome newbies and hello lurkers.

Short-bird - hope it gets sorted very soon
Mudbath - a lovely gesture about the light at the hospice

Thanks for the thread Jue. I am away thursday and friday (going to the big smoke to meet two of my dearest friends). Can you please include me for both challenges. Thanks

Extras for me this week:

Tonight - write remaining 2 cards and post, marzipan 2 remaining cakes
Make final christmas cake (step-dad doesn't like alcohol)
Ice christmas cakes
Deliver presents to mum's and dad's so I don't have to cart them about on christmas day


That should keep me out of trouble x
