    I hate wrapping presents too, it takes forever. Good to get lots of jobs done so you can have a relaxed weekend :).

    Thank you :)

    Nipped to Sainsbury's on the way to work, it was crazy busy and the shelves were practically empty! It's going to be fun trying to do the food shopping this weekend!

    I did get some bargainous stuff for DH in the clothing sale though :T

    DH built little miss's present last night, so it was a relief to know that's all sorted now, all pieces are there thankfully, and we haven't got a lot to do bar the food shop. I need to make a list.

    DH is selling a couple of his relisted items, so the decluttering will continue from after Christmas :T I listed a couple of bits for me yesterday as well.

    I'm off for two weeks after today, can't wait :T :T

    Hope everyone has a good weekend :)

    I joined up at SW. I got awarded slimmer of the week as the person who had won it didn't stay and no one else was eligible :rotfl: So I did quite well!

    Little jwil was saying he was feeling ill yesterday, but seems ok today, fingers crossed!

    We are off to get the last of the shopping today, I've got a bit of wrapping to do and then I'll be done.

    My anxiety's high about the thought of illness, so I'm hoping it settles down a bit. It's a trigger of mine and I don't want to feel crap all over Christmas!

    I watched Watership down last night, thought it was quite good, but not as good as the other film. I'll see the rest tonight.

    Shopping done :T It was completely mental!

    Just going to finish wrapping and then we are going to have a film afternoon. Little jwil wants to watch the Lion King and we bought the 2nd Mamma Mia film to watch as well. Little miss loves singing and dancing.

    I've done 6 listings this morning and switched back on international postage on DH's account.
