    Evening ladies.

    It's a long time since I have been here but I wanted to come back and say hello and thank you for all the lovely flylady cards and messages. You are a wonderful bunch and the support you provide to one another is second to none as I found out when I called upon you in October. DD is fully recovered and doing well with a very changed attitude towards me which is a huge plus for me as I am sure some of you remember what a nightmare she used to be. I wanted to thank you all personally so could only think of a small way with your cards, and I hope someone got lucky.

    I wish you all very positive thoughts for whatever you may be dealing with and hope that you all have a lovely Christmas and New Year.

    Love to you all, Kaz xxx


    So pleased Miss Meister is improved in health and behaviour :) and thank you for cards .. We won £1 :) ty

    Have a lovely Christmas and new year and love to you all xxx

    Lovely to see old friends dropping in :)
    Thank you Kaz for the lottery card. For a minute I thought I had won £5000, but the third one was only a fiver!

    I have just completed all my list, with a bit of help from DH (who has put himself to bed), and am about to go to Midnight Mass. Tomorrow we shall be visiting DS2 and family: my bits and pieces towards the meals are ready, and all the gifts are packed.

    Happy Christmas to all my Flyfriends. I hope you have a peaceful and enjoyable day, wherever you are xx

    So another Christmas is nearly upon us

    each year I promise myself I will be more organised

    each year I end up not doing much of the things I want to do, or at the very least leaving them to the last minute

    Sigh
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Good evening all. I have had a very busy day but I have got almost everything done.

    Merry Christmas to everyone, Hope everyone has a great day and enjoys some well deserved rest x
    Monday Mayhem..
    Clear hotspot in master bedroom (old moses basket which is full of bits and pieces)

    Thursday - Christmas Day

    Let chickens out to roam
    Bag up all the wrapping paper and put it outside!
    Delegate pot washing/DW loading!
    Slice off the remaining meat and either freeze or put in the fridge for tomorrow!
    Save remaining cooked veg for stew! It can be frozen if you don't want to eat it in the next few days.. or sling it in the crock pot with the carcass for stock!
    Before children go to bed they must stack their new things nicely!
    A quick S&S over the kitchen should see it looking fabulous again If you leave it by New year it will be a tip!!
    Prepare any run and grab style food for Boxing day.. I know a lot of families have get togethers on the 26th.
    Wipe the table/table cloth
    Put the best crockery/glasses away
    Close chickens away before dark
    Go play with the children .. eat lots of junk food and delegate as much as possible!!
    Quick wipe over the hob should see it sparkling again
    Does the breadmaker need to be on for tomorrow?
    Start thinking of those resolutions you will be breaking by the middle of January! lol
    Don't forget to feed the pets!

    Enjoy your day with your loved ones, spare a few minutes thought for those who cannot be with us this year and those who have lost loved ones.. I wish you all a happy, joyous, trouble-free fabulous New Year!! Without your support through the year.. I doubt I could have got through it xx

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Sat here colouring in waiting for the washing to finish. I haven't the energy to put the last 2 lots in, so I'm just going to leave them until Boxing day :p Its only towels and cleaning cloths anyway.

    DD went off to bed about 10pm. First year she's been here for Christmas and not put anything out for Father Christmas :( Guess thats the end of that tradition!

    Fri 25 - Celebrate! DD pack!
    Sat 26 - DD going away and relax :rotfl:

    To do:
    Walk dog - Fri, Sat
    Laundry - towels, cleaning cloths
    Set up recordings on dvr
    All laundry away
    Ready for parents by 3pm (gives us buffer time before the 4pm agreed ;))


    Monday Mayhem..
    Tuesday - Time's nearly up!!!

    Wednesday ~almost done!!


    • Mop the kitchen
    • Catch up on the laundry again.. ironing is tomorrows job!
    Christmas Eve - FRANTIC FRENZY

    • Quick whizz over carpets. Going to run the vacuum over tomorrow after we've opened gifts.
    Christmas Day
    • Bag up all the wrapping paper and put it outside!
    • Delegate pot washing - My turn as there won't be many. Foil cooking trays & everything in the oven means very little washing up when only cooking for 2 ;)
    • Before children go to bed they must stack their new things nicely!
    • A quick S&S over the kitchen should see it looking fabulous again If you leave it by New year it will be a tip!!
    • Wipe the table/table cloth
    • Quick wipe over the hob should see it sparkling again
    • Start thinking of those resolutions you will be breaking by the middle of January! lol Already done.
    • Don't forget to feed the pets!
    On with my colouring :rotfl: :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
