I'm not cleaning my oven this year. It was spotless just before Christmas 2010, we left the house immaculate so that we could come back from Christmas, our wedding and New Year honeymoon to a beautifully tidy house... only to have the neighbour call me Christmas Eve to ask if she could use my oven, hers had packed in and she was expecting 10 for Christmas dinner! As we'll be away again this year, I'm not risking it!MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0

Bah humbug...
i have worked out that i havent had a meal at home since the 6th december , with xmas meals, birthdays, engagements and night shifts..... was looking forward to a night at home tonight , but sis is haveing her birdemaid engagemnet party and tomorrow is my last works do - thank goodness.
missed spinning this morning had a bad throat yesterday , but just feel like a cold is coming on today - got a sniffle and chest abit tight.
still not got oh's xmas present - going shopping thurs night for it.
finally getting the drive tarmaced - then part from the outside of the house being painted then the house is completed - YAY!!!
new job is alos fantastic - more money , less stress. so happy as , and deffo not getting 90 day notice as its a high profile department - bonus.
apart from seemiong to never be at home, havent spend that much money thankfully!!!
off to do the big xmas shop , got £10 to use from m n s on party food for nye - having a jacobs joint at our house. Mr M isnt that keen as he said that we have spent all this money on the house for people to come and trash..... he's just grumpy i think!!!!
hope everyones ok , will hopefully get chance to catch up properly tomorrow with the tarmaccers coming i will be bottoming the house, baking and basically getting back up to speed with my "absence" from the house!!!!
fingers crossed i will get my flebay stuff photo's taken and then i can get on with banging them on over xmas.
Still got all my xmas cards to deliver to - seriously falling behind!!!!!!
doing my "christmas bit" to , Mr M's relative is moving so asked for them to save any unwanted bedding for some needy families and found some old babbles that will also go to another family - will drop them off at the charity shop on weds.
Feel like i am finally finding my "place" in society!!! crickey sounds abit to much for me , but i feel finally at peace with myself - funny hopw everything falls into place and you realise whats imprtant to you!!!
Money isnt everything , i am realising that we dont need the best of everything , make do and mend is ok.
Those that want to judge can, but there are some families this christmas that christmas day will just be another day , where they struggle to put food on the table, elcricity on the meter and even have heating - even in todays modern world.
anyways i'm getting off my soap box to go and get so shopping!!!!
