Up early so I can get to M&S for it opening at 7 :eek: I must be absolutely bonkers! We've all been bad and I'm still streaming and unable to bend down without a seering pain in my eye/head/nose/face lmao .......typical!

My potted Christmas Tree has died a death despite daily watering, it looks a picture *rolls eyes* the crackers are hanging on for dear life and the Angel looks like she's leaping to her death, she's practically horizontal :rotfl: oh what fun

Barring M&S I'm all ready for the big day, how I managed it I'll never know, funny how it all comes together in the end *phew* I'm off work now till 3 Jan for the houses and 7 Jan for the school :j and boy do I need the rest.

K, listy:-

General pottering

Morning all

I'm gearing up for my taxing week with a coffee and marmite on toast.

Hi embb nice to 'see' you again, keep.....[STRIKE]perving[/STRIKE]...dancing!!

LameWolf I hope you and Mr LW had a Cool Yule. I will be sending calming, situation-go-smoothly vibes for you on Thursday xx

To my secret santa flylady thank you soooooo much the gifts were perfect for me!! :j I opened them last night as we are not lugging all presents down to Wales, only the ones for the family we will see there.

I should be able to pop onto Fred this week but in case I can't I will say Merry Christmas everyone - I hope your day goes as planned and much fun is had :A

I will wave at random points down the M4; don't know really who I'm waving to but I'm should be vaguely in the right direction for some people. I will give a special wave to the Welshies when I get there

Bye for now xx

Morning all, am allowing myself a wee lie in till 7.45 until I get up. Not feeling all that festive, and my list can go whistle the way I feel - aunt flo has put in an appearance..:mad:

I have to brave Asda soon, DH reminded me I have to get flowers to take to the crem tomorrow. How the heck did I forget that!!!! Oh well luckily it is only a quick stop to Asda...phew.

DH has gone to work, not sure what time he will be home though - early I hope..:-)

Oh well better venture into the shower.

Sorry for the long list everyone, I wanted to cover everything and every eventuality :-)

Hugs and love everyone xxxx

Hope you have a great time bonnie!

DS has just been given the day off by his boss!

I am making crackers at the moment - each year we buy the make your own kit in the sales and choose gifts for each other to go in them. I am now assembling them.

I'm still not completely ready, nor am i completely well. It's going to be the case that if it gets done then hurray and if it doesn't - well it doesn't!

All of us bar DS were in bed by 9.30 last night - DD1 is eating again thank goodness. DD2 had had a sleepover followed by a night out and then met a friend yesterday. She fell asleep at the desk!

Plan(??? Me? Plan?) is to deliver a couple of belated cards, shop for milk and bread and then assess what else needs doing.

Catch you later folks....
