Happy Sunday folks
Got 4 loads of washing done at the launderette yesterday - £3.40 a machine :eek:
Then it cost £10 for two coffees and a sausage ciabatta (for Mr SA as he hadn't had breakfast).
It has rained all day today
Had to go out to buy sellotape as DD and Mr SA finished off the last of mine last night wrapping presents. Got soaked. Took the dog on the park,got soaked and had to put the dog in the bath she was so muddy.
Wrapped all the presents now thank goodness. Still need to clean up tomorrow morning before the guests come, plus make some Christmas biscuits and muffins for the buffet. Will do that first thing tomorrow.
Hope everyone has just about got it all done for Christmas.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Am getting there oh so slowly on the Christmas front.

Why does everything take so long Beanie - plus no matter how good quality you think the wrapping paper is it still rips, very annoying. Then I found two presents I hadn't wrapped lurking at the bottom of the bag.
The dog has ripped the tags off some of the presents
Mr SA is desperate to open the peanuts and anything else edible. He's driving me mad at the moment - again!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -

Well it's Christmas Eve already :eek: how did that happen.
Not been anywhere today spent a grand total of 70p on a paper that's all.
DS and the GKs came, caused havoc. Did them a buffet. It was a nice afternoon but very noisy. SIL and BIL didn't make it, BIL was working. SIL rang just as I was running a bath, Mr SA put them off to another day.
I'm shattered right now, won't be a late night that's for sure. Looking forward to feet up on the sofa.
Beanie last night's gin was Boodles (plain gin) and very nice. Tonight's is the last one - Edinburgh Gin Christmas gin - Frankincense and Myrrh and is amazing, really really nice, one of my favourites. I would definitely get a gin advent calendar again, I've enjoyed trying the different gins.
Hope everyone has had a good day and is all set for tomorrow.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
