    Aaah I had a much better nights sleep last night :) All was good at work, we've had dinner and ds is doing his homework, so soon it will be bathtime for me then its cosy pj time :D

    Not much else to report tonight, the railcard has arrived today, I need to crack on with some more xmas shopping though online. Spends today = £22 on some nurofen as I had a headache.

    Evening all, ds is at his Dads this weekend, last night I went to stay with Mr S which was nice to spend some time together, today we did some shopping then he's just gone home and I'm watching Bournemouth v Chelsea on Sky :)

    I need to get some more xmas shopping sorted this weekend, maybe some bits tonight online and I might pop to the shops in the morning. Is everyone else ready for Christmas or is it just me that seems to be laid back but running out of time rapidly?? :o

  • £22 on Nurofen, that must be some headache you had:eek:

    Glad you team won.

    I am not stressing at all over Xmas this year, it I cannot get it online or in MrT or @ldi then it'snot getting bought this year.

    Oops, good spot! My keyboard has crumbs under some keys, particularly the 2 & 3 keys. My spelling is pretty good generally, is usually crumbs that cause the gremlins to appear ;)

    Right I have another list ;) Today is my last pre-Christmas day without ds around, so I need to get his Xmas shopping done as well as catch up with a few other bits and pieces;
    • Pay fine at gym
    • Book kettlebells class
    • collect 2 parcels from tesco express
    • collect parcel from M&S in local town
    • clear surveys
    • ironing
    • schoolwork
    • nag ds to finish homework
    • see Mum
    • walk the dog
    • clear washing basket
    • remake ds bed once bedding ironed
    • take rubbish out
    • PTA work
    • write out plans for the coming week

    Before I do that lot though I'm nipping into Bournemouth to get some xmas shopping, I need bits for ds, then a present for my niece, sil, aunt and my nephews birthday present.

    Will make sure I'm home by 2 as tesco food shopping is being delivered then. Have a good day :D

    Hoovering done, food shopping put away, ds bed partly remade (just need to iron duvet cover), will do Mums food shopping order next, then the ironing and finish doing dds bed. Then I can watch the footie this afternoon while I do the various laptop based bits on the list.
