    I'll join you Narc0lepsy.... off I go again!

    Phew - it's easier when you have company - how did you do Bonnie?
    I unpacked shopping and put it away
    Filled bird feeders including emptying new packets
    Put one load of washing on
    De-cluttered kitchen table which now has just 1 handbag on it
    Straightened duvet and found bedroom floor
    Did a load of washing up which cleared kitchen surfaces
    Wrapped a couple of presents
    Took photos of latest flower creation to put on FB (mainly to show sister in Canada)
    Various bits of miscellaneous tidying/putting stuff away.

    Now I'm back on computer I need to check work and home email, and reply to a couple of enquiries about private work.

    Hope you're all doing well

    OH and I were so good last night and didn't even have a sip of the good red stuff, and then had an early night because we were both cream crackered. Sadly Dog had a bad night, so I was up at 1.30 dosing her up with Previcox, again at 2.15 to make her up another meal (fortunately this time everything was already cooked and in the 'fridge - I've had to poach a frozen chicken breast at that time of night in the past) and then again at 2.45 to take her for a walk.

    Strangely I found a robin looking hungry in one of the places I usually feed birds on Dog's favourite morning walk. I had no idea they were about at night.

    Today I have dragged myself around the shops getting her tins of sardines and more paracetemol caplets etc and stocking up on everything we need for her that is nothing to do with Christmas. I'm too tired to even think about writing cards. I think the tumour on her back is bothering her, but I didn't want to go straight to the Tramadol in case it was her arthritis. Anyway, she'd had her first walk and an antibiotic, but she won't take the rest of her medicine and won't touch her breakfast. I've shown her the clock, but she just moves her head out of the way and is snoozing.
    Better is good enough.

    Aww, DS wore his Santa outfit today for nursery Christmas party. Santa came to the party, and asked him to be his helper :A so DS is well pleased with himself and said it was "amazing" :D

    Had time to do downstairs floors after work and kitchen is all good. I have got myself an off-list plan for the next week though, but I will keep posting, if you'll have me x

    Bossy I can very rarely stick to the list, but it doesn't seem to stop me being addicted to the thread.

    OH and I have changed the new lodger's bed. Another one who keeps soggy towels in his bedroom, hey ho. Lovely Lodger is off back home to Sardinia via Rome at 6.30 tomorrow morning, so we're going to be up early to take her to the station. We're both going to miss her. There is a very slight possibility of her coming back on and off for three years which would be absolutely wonderful. Fingers crossed.

    In the end I dragged Dog out for a walk and she is now, as I type, chomping her breakfast which contains the rest of her morning doses of medicine, and is enthusiastically working her way through a bowl of fish and rice, topped with a sardine. Good.

    Just the dailies done today and have had a quick tidy of the living room.

    Went to my voluntary job. We had a group of school children come in and sing carols. They were so good. Then I went and visited a friend who has had a knee op.

    Wrapping should get finished tonight thankfully.

    Hugs spoons, sticks and healing vibes where needed.
