    Not sure, DS and DIL would be with them so probably not. Apparently they are going to crack down hard on those who break the rules ☹️

  • It makes no sense to me you can't see them on Christmas Eve but they can come on Christmas Day and stay for hours .

  • It feels like the day after the night before this morning. Many families will have had their plans cancelled and its those I feel sorry for. At least my family are all within a 10 min drive away. 
    Today I am up to take the GKs swimming and swapping presents around for a couple of relatives whilst I am out and about. 
    This afternoon some meal prep for the week as working until Wednesday at 2pm. Ironing and then probably Christmas films. 
    Happy Sunday everyone.

  • Survived swimming the kids they loved it . Mum and dad were thrilled to see them for 5 minutes in the car , I hope they get to see them in their home soon. Presents dropped at respective relatives , case off passing them over the doorstep , quick conversation and go. 
    Ironing done , last two presents wrapped , just watched Notting Hill . 
    The weekend has gone fast, three days in work now .
