    Thought I would let you have a look at Ds1's lovely cake. I will delete it later.

    Fab cake, dancemum

    Calming vibes for dusty and school

    Kitty home vibes for deco

    I've done an online shop, Mr T £15 voucher off a £60 spend, so got the usual weeklies plus some festive non-perishables :) I like my cranberry sauce without bits in :D

    Got stuff ready for morning, and had a mini sort on the landing. Boxes of decs etc. decided what can stay down and what needs to go back in loft. I'll do that when I've wrapped the last of the presents to go up too. I've also loaded DW after supper and wiped round.

    That's it for tonight - I'm bushed.

    Brilliant cake Dancemum.

    DS3 read to, chatted to and in bed. Washing up water now cold so I'll start again and then look at the documents. Wet and windy here so will pass on a glass of wine in case DH wants a lift from the station.

    Ionafan- you sound like an amazing friend. I'm sure she really appreciates your efforts.

    I won't update my list as I can only tick two things off- making bread and wrapping presents. I can see an end in sight now!!
    Tomorrow i have work until lunchtime and then hairdressers. After school run I have ds1 swimming lesson so not much time for flying!

    That is enough reading for one night! Just going to tidy up in the kitchen and have a snack as I'm hungry now.

    Bin is out and I've done the neighbour's too as theirs is always overflowing and they are not in tonight.
