Good Morning all

Get well soon hugs all round to those in need. Today so far I have S&S the bathroom, vacced and polished upstairs, walked to the postbox with the kids and now DH and littlies are watching Frozen whilst I declutter a cuppa.

Next on the list is make lunch, do some more paid stuff and tidy the playroom. No cooking today as we are off to SILs for dinner, yay!

Have a great Sunday all xx

I've got as far as putting the lights on the tree, in that time DH has told me he's turned vegetarian and my Sis has said she does not want to come for Christmas. The fact that the gingers are chewing the lights already seems quite trivial.

Hugs, just when you've planned and started things. We definitely need to catch up for a relaxing GC coffee or something - did you decide to go skating. Mr N's brother is veggie, but I always ask him to bring whatever he wants and I'll stick it in the oven.

Had a lovely flying-free day yesterday at the Riding Holiday show, our hosts of many South African holidays were there so it was lovely to see them. A little alarming to calculate that the first time we went there, the owner was pregnant with her daughter - Jess is now 17 and was greeting guests on their stand like a professional. So many tempting places to go.

We had a walk through Winter Wonderland afterwards, pretty silly on a Saturday eve but it was nice to soak up some atmosphere. Got home to find a flypresent waiting for me!!

Today it is grey and drizzly. I went to church while Mr N cleared out the conservatory as the new vinyl floor should be arriving on Tuesday. I've filled all the bird feeders.
Tree decorating this afternoon; we were going out to buy a new one but our old one doesn't look too tatty so we'll see how it goes.
Have a pile more cards I need to sort, then that will be done and the card debris can be put away.
We need to check the diary for the week ahead and make sure we don't forget non-social but critical events like me making Xmas wreaths on Fri, decorating church Sat am etc.

Hellooo!

Making the most of the empty house - blitzed upstairs, lots put away, dusted and vacced and remade my bed. Have also set WM and DW going, and made chilli jam - not cool yet but did the set test and had a taste - it's fiery

Expect kiddies will be home soon so will have a bit of a tidy downstairs and a brew in peace we need to finish our teacher gifts and make cards for grandparents.

That'll be it for today - bit of a late one last night after an afternoon with family in town I met the dance mums locally which was really nice - think I was the only one that didn't know everyone but it wasn't cliquey - everybody was friendly and chatty. Nice to know my girl is in such a lovely group, they all look out for each other, like a big family

I paced myself with lots of soft drinks so thankfully my only dampener on today is a little tiredness. I was very sensible!

Right - downstairs I go!

Tomorrow is our last rubbish collection until 4th January, so I am flinging as much as possible. After it goes dark we will.be running up and down to get all our bin bags into bins. Luckily we live in a street where nobody has a problem with this.


Have been to DD2's place this afternoon. It looks a lot more lived in now.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

It's lovely. I was just looking at the one my Aunt made for me the Christmas I was expecting DS3.
