    All my windows are now in, but a few bits to be sorted, and my front door to go in tomorrow. Then I can get my house back!

    Sat freezing all day as front door was open and the windows were out. Can't seem to warm up now at all. Will go do the bathroom and have a nice bath, maybe even steal a bubbly bath Christmas present for myself.

    Got good news though, got the £200 back from the insurance thingy on the old sofa, thought it would be a fight, so woohoo, and, the last payment on the very last loan comes out on the 15th December, so we will be properly and officially debt free for Christmas! :j

    Will start saving money in January... :rotfl:rather than sending it on shiny things like we [STRIKE]I[/STRIKE] do right now.

    Friday afternoon will be a mega 'De-Dust and Grot' effort for me, then Saturday the Christmas tree and decs will go up! I'm excited! :T

    so... what have I missed?

    Hugs pigpen I'm having a drink for you as I've already had 2 for myself.

    Top tip - drinking cava does not help you pack but makes it seem less important.

    Serena hugs from one stressed worry guts to anotherI am finding the cava helps with this too - I brought it for xmas but thought it wise to taste it in case it spoilt christmas day

    Evening, back from swimming where for a change the boys behaved and they didn't fight once. Big hugs to those who are feeling poorly or stressed, or both of course. Well done to Tiamai, debt free for Xmas, brilliant!

    Arranging with the friend who is the photographer hopefully to get the piccys of baby Matthew done next week so I can get them printed on time for Christmas present for his Mam and Dad, having to arrange it around a very busy babies schedule :rotfl: I went to see him today, got my cuddle, fed him, winded him and got him to sleep, mission accomplished. He's coming along great :D

    Tomorrow, have a few places we need to go including farm shop (check about Christmas turkey order, might change it) DIY/garden shop as DP wants some spray bottles, some other places I can't remember :o

    I am hoping to get Ds1 to help me with his room and maybe some toy clearing, hoping is probably as far as it will get...he's not the best helper really.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
