    DD managed to sleep from 21:00-00:00 and then 00:30-06:00 last night, felt like an improvement. She seems a lot brighter this morning as a consequence :)
    Ah yes, she's reached the 'lull them into a false sense of security' phase :D. Break her spirit Ed before she breaks yours :rotfl:.

    £3.88 worth of OPs made (£2 risk free spins, £1.88 ETs). Set up another couple of FBs for tomorrow.

    Had a nice breakfast with friends (£12 each, a bit dear considering my crappy healthy choice!) Then went for a walk with my girls, currently finishing off some baby friendly lamb casserole.

    Tree coming down tonight.

    For the first time in 4 days, I've stuck to my MFP target (ok, 15 calories off, sure a vigorous tree removal will burn at least that) :)

    Fitness tracker and scales come tomorrow, Mrs E has said that I can go for a short jog.

    :eek: I don't think you're the only one who's already taken down the decorations on here. Whatever happened to the Christmas decorations being taken down on Twelfth Night?

    I thought the tradition was to take them down *by* the twelfth night (at least that's what the internet thinks)...

    Not sure, to be honest. The tradition in my family is to decorate on the 1st December and take them down on evening of the 5th January. Mrs K's family do the same apart from if the 1st doesn't fall on a weekend day, they decorate on the first Saturday after the 1st.

    12th Night is the big celebration in Spain - the Three Kings come and dispense gifts - so we will be leaving our few things up until then :xmastree:*

    Aw, poor little girl with all the shiny stuff done - chuck her a cardboard box to play with instead :D.

    * Not far off actual size of my tree :rotfl:.
