Time to be completely honest

Ok had quite a lot of energy just now Had something to eat which is good.

*Do washing - lots of!! Complete and put away too.
*Change sheets on spare bed, DD's bed, our bed - wash dirty ones.
*Get bits for crackers
*Find M-i-l's lost present (dammit!!)
*If time do some baking with DD
[STRIKE] *Write email to Santa with DD (left a little late for letter - oops!)[/STRIKE]
*Get bed ready for my mum
*Prepare snacks/drinks for Santa etc
*Hang stocking
*Be sorted enough to listen to the Christmas story CD with the kids and sing along - tried singing by myself with the CD last night - not so good!!
[STRIKE] *Tidy DD's room[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE] *Sort dining room - clear presents[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE] *Tidy living room - put pressies round tree, tidy toys away[/STRIKE]
*Clean Kitchen (added now I've messed it up!)
*Hoover everywhere
*dust!!!

Still quite a bit to do, no sign of OH. Just seen he's taken his credit card - I don't know the state of it ro how much he owes etc. I think this will have to be 'dealt' with in New Year - I can't face a row now.

So looks like I've managed a debt free christmas for everyone, but OH looks to be debting to buy my stuff. I don't know what else he's been using it for - might explain how far his money is going and how many crates of beer keep appearing in the boot of the car.

Ho hum. And breathe. Will not get annoyed - what's the point?

aww sea sorry to hear that about the CC...like you said best wait a while and get Christmas over & done with before dealing with it. You can only do YOUR best and hope that he does the same....he's normally pretty good isnt he? Maybe he just felt guilty that he hadnt got you something! Hope he returns soon & that relative calm is restored to the sea household...How are the kids? I've just had a long conversation with my goddaughter who is SO excited (almost to the wetting yourself point IYKWIM!!) - told her she must sleep or santa wont come - hes in south africa at the moment! Bless!

Hi Sea, wow you have done loads! Just Santa's snacks left then... We have a nice bowl of porridge oats and chopped carrot outside the front door waiting for the reindeers (DS's recipe).

It is traditional to have rows at Christmas so don't let the row with OH get you down. I haven't had a row with my OH yet today - but only because he's been hiding in the shed all day!

Sea78

Carrots and an apple (because Santa will have so many sugary snacks already!!lol!!) are in front of the fire

SO finished list really apart from ongoing nightmare of washing. OH off out in 45 mins for drinks with his friends. Nice.

more hugs sea - sounds like you could do with a big squidgy hug so have asked santa (via telepathy of course cos we're mates & we can!) to deliver it with the girls pressies!

hehe Thanks hon - my mum is here now which is lovely - I've just popped on here as she is wrapping presents I'm not allowed to see in the other room OH has gone out, good job as I've just found out he had a go at my mum about where she parked and then made her take her shoes off (not something we do as a family)!!! !!!!!!!! What a joyful christmas eve - might now have a watch of pirates of the Caribbean and lust after orlando/johnny not bothered lol!

Yes, I've had one small glass of wine - oops - can you tell?
