    Not up to much this week . I have made a massive list of things to do for Christmas and holiday. Have managed one or two.

    Nearly there with everything for Christmas, just need a present for my dad , but he had everything. Looks like it will be red wine for him again! If anybody has any suggestions feel free to suggest.

    Managed 2 NSD . Breakfast and lunch packed for tomorrow. Done some washing .

    Drink , then bed .

    I always find men the most difficult to buy for unless they have a specific hobby.
    So sorry no idea.

    Men in general can be hard to buy for I think. I sometimes get my dad a garden or Amazon voucher so he can buy a plant or a book, but it's not very imaginative I know.

    Well what can I say the last two days money has gone out of my account like water . The Xmas shopping is done all bar a bottle of wine tomorrow from Booths and some cashmere gloves from EWM to be bought on trip to lakes tomorrow.

    I need to knuckle down now and wrap it all up and write all Christmas cards, then I can concentrate on the holiday.

    Today my daughter was off as it is half term so only had the the DGC for a couple of hours whilst DD went to pick up goods she had ordered.

    Spent the afternoon on a walk to pick up a parcel myself and a bit of exercise, am sure I have put a stone on ! . Then got home and did the cleaning . Can go out tomorrow knowing that Sunday is just shopping and ironing.

    I need to get another timer for light to come on in lounge as well must do that Sunday. My car could do with a wash as well especially as it will be on the motorway tomorrow.

    I can't wait for my monthly dose of Lakeland fells especially in the autumnal splendour .

    Best get washed up now.
