    Hope you do get it before Xmas, Cheery - excellent price, though, well done you :)

    And I'm liking the champagne :)

    ...mmm...

    ...stuffed full of cakes can be a good thing in moderation!

    I've been giving in to temptation this week and eating cookies & chocolate that has been lurking round the office!

    Just had a thought that if yesterday was your last day then today is your first!

    Happy First Day of Change!

    Ooh, what a lovely way of looking at it RT, thank you! :kisses3:

    I now have 17 days off to do with as I please :D Well, pretty much :rotfl:

    Today is house pottering - I haven't been here much in the last week so a bit of dusting, sorting etc will do nicely.

    Also need to pop to the library, sort YNAB, see what presents there are left to sort/wrap, post cards that need posting etc etc.

    Starting off with a nice cup of tea though :D

    Evening chums :hello:

    Lovely pottering day :j Tidying and sorting and cleaning and drinking tea and a quick pop to a cafe for a celebratory cuppa with Mr Cheery :j :coffee:

    Got the evening to myself though, so need a plan... :j

    HOUSE
    - hoover upstairs
    - hoover downstairs
    - clean mirrors
    - empty bins
    - 5 mins in bedroom
    - 15 mins in bathroom (not sure I need that!)


    FESTIVE THINGS
    - check presents - what else do I need to get?
    - write cards that need posting and find addresses
    - wrap presents that need posting and find addresses

    OTHER
    - check if there's a pilates class on tomorrow
    - decide re parkrun tomorrow and get clothes together (and charge GPS thing)
    - read library book to take back tomorrow
    - think about signing up to online workshop
    - YNAB

    As usual, that's wildly over-enthusiastic :rotfl: but let's see how much I get done :D

    Ready, steady.... GO! :j
  • Quite a list but I'm sure you'll crack lots of it! xx
