  • Waiting for husband to clean kitchen and bathroom floors. Turkey and gammon defrosting to cook tomorrow. Lasagne made to just reheat after Christmas crib service tomorrow night .
  • having a brew then going to local supermarket to see if anythings reduced
    don't fancy my chances really but did well last year, they don't have a regular reducing time (its booths) so usually get nowt but occasionally hit the jackpot
    (cross your fingers for me)


    got nowt
    will try again tomorrow:cool:

    I lost my footing on the stairs recently and am in lower back spasm agony.

    So lovely Mr. M has just finished the following on my instructions...

    vacuumed everywhere.
    changed all bedding
    cleaned bathrooms
    cleaned windows back and front
    cleaned the kitchen.

    I am sitting on the sofa with a back brace on, and he's gone to the pub with his friends, back at 9 he said. I don't mind, he did a great job.

    So I am doing very little really.

    I'm in jammies lounging with my feet up with a wee glass of Ballycastle (aldi baileys but nicer as it's less sweet and of course much cheaper!). I've started a last minute shopping list for hubby to do tomorrow, poor thing :o

    The only things moving are my fingers on this tablet and my mind running through prep for Sunday.

    It's very relaxing :D highly recommended :cool:
  • Just watched "A Christmas Carol" with the kids. Cleaning the kitchen now.
  • We're having a little version of Christmas tomorrow since DH is working on the day itself. I've just made the onion gravey, bread sauce, and stuffing and if I have time before we go to sainsburys I might chop some veg. But that might be pushing it a touch since I've been nursing a hangover today from a rather jolly yule party last night.
    Vintage loving, allotment holding, low waste living. Indi = DH. Maisie Bones = fur baby

    Credit Card paid off = 02/04/2018
    Bank of Mum loan = £450
    Now saving for a house deposit!

    Sat on the sofa drinking wine. No prep required here :D

    And I ain't got the power anymore'
  • Nothing was on 'the list' for today so embraced a day at home chilling with the kids and some lovely Chrimbo crafts, baking and tv. Leftovers from the last 2 days for every meal too...doesn't get much better! Hehe.

    Currently sitting with feet up watching Mickey's Christmas with one eye in The Year of Living Danishly and my hands wrapped around hot choc. and mallows.:coffee:
