It's crazy that it's Christmas day in a week isn't it! I feel like it's come round too quick!!
Love your lists though, it keeps reminding me what I need (should) be doing :rotfl:

I wrote a really long post and the Internet went off, so I've lost it all.
I've spent a great deal today: two of the larger presents and extras for DH, DS2 and L as well as everyday bits and pieces that I'd forgotten yesterday. I won't do the accounts now as it's so late.
The list didn't really get off the ground very well:
laundry Done
catch up on the ironing
some deep cleaning - kitchen and bathroom
wrap items that arrive today
Take a bag to charity Done
Sort out outfit for work 'do' Done
get snacks to take to my friend's tonight Done
put my suitcase away (it's been in the hall about 10 days) (Make that 11 days now)
do physio
post cards

Another list needed, not just a rehash of yesterday's but a few new things are creeping in.
I've just run the washing machine and will be putting the clothes on the line. They won't dry fully but they will get a good way there.
It's the work meal out tonight so not much needed grocery-wise but I may go to the shops anyway if I can sort out the fridge/freezer as I'm gathering Christmas food as sell-by dates are now past Christmas Day. If I can get to Sainsbugs, I'll look out for their offcuts of smoked salmon for Christmas teatime sandwiches. Our Mr T doesn't do them and they taste just as good as the more expensive big pieces. I know we can cope without it but DH likes his predictable treats (and so do I).
Hang out the washing
catch up on the ironing
some deep cleaning - kitchen and bathroom
Clean windows downstairs
wrap rest of gifts
put my suitcase away

I hope you got the cards in the post . Lists can seem overwhelming but at least you know what you're supposed to be doing.
