  • Just had a mad walk in the wind and rain to pop to iceland to get dd2's birthday buffet bits now turkey is out of the freezer lol. Popped into poundland and got a hudl case and headphones, batteries and painkillers too. Just need to pop to town tomorrow to fill gas meter up and get milk.. dh wants to pop to farmfoods later (dunno why)

    Christmas pressies are mostly wrapped.. just got my parents and brother/brothers boyfriend ones to wrap but my dd3 wants todo those so we'll do that later. Girls are all wrapped though! phew.

    Gonna have lunch then make some mincepies, sausage rolls and cook the christmas ham. Jacket potatos for dinner!

    Teens were being most trying this morning. but after the walk seem to have calmed alittle.

    Hope everyone is ready for some family fun, happy christmas to all if i don't get back on! and sending amazing new years to you all!

  • just made 9 little sledges to use as place names for the christmas table, just got to make sure no one touches them before the day, they are scratchcards and choccies so a bit tempting LOL. DS2 is happy because hes got 2 candy canes that snapped so had to be eaten instead of being used.

    just finishing wrapping the bits for DH that DS2 found for me then ill do a bit more cleaning and tidying

    msgigglewick, my biggest teen is at work ive told younger one he can have an hour on the xbox then do his wrapping after that he can tidy his room so hes happy
