You wouldn't have done that in my presence, missus, I love things like that, even if they need to be untangled. Especially if the need to be untangled.

Have spent a happy few minutes sorting out the giftwrap for re-use and now the good bits are all ironed and trimmed and neatly bagged and ready to go back to mine. There's a particular paper which I recognise, it came back around a gift from Aunt to my parents and orignally came from our household. Aunt is comically tight, makes a knowing joke of it, so I have carefully salvaged that piece and will return it to her next year wrapped around something else, it's an in-family joke which she'll appreciate. All families have their peculiarities, do they not? :rotfl:

A lot of books have been gifted between us and, thanks to the sorting out of the living room bookcase, the new books, pending being read, were able to go onto a shelf! I know that sounds so ordinary, but it isn't normal in this household, I can assure you. The 'rents are most pleased.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas day and eating lovely grub, I'm sitting down to roast beef and all the trimmings at 13.00.:j

OMG, I'm the opposite,:D I hate doing things like that. I'm too impatient.

A few months ago, my bestie gave me a carrier bagful of tangled wool. It was ends from her fair isle knitting projects, all pure wool and lovely colours, but the longest bits were about 18 inches long. I happily unravalled the tangle and chopped them up for my rug-making. Pal is delighted because she was hanging on to them to avoid waste, and now she can see where they ended up and has kondo'd them with a good conscience.

I have done most of the dishes before breaking off (the sink is too low for me and gives me back-ache) and Dad is finishing off, then we're going walkies. All low-tech pleasures.

Me too! All the paper is in one place and will be going to the recycling bin tomorrow. I can’t be doing with hanging on to stuff for possible reuse if we don’t forget. I’d rather use as little as possible and recycle what I do use.

(((hugs))) for all those having Christmas without a loved one xx
