Hi ladies,
Well I have had a very busy day but the house is looking clean and tidy (apart from hoovering top floor- but I can live with that!)
We are all packed and ready to gone. Just waiting for hubby to get home so we can get on the road. He is due any minute!

I am looking forward to coming home to a clean and tidy house!

Just wanted to say 'merry Christmas everyone'. Hope everyone has a relaxing festive period and I will 'see' you in the 29th!
