DH has just taken the kids out swimming so I've now got a couple of hours. I'm going to tidy round, clean the kitchen and bathroom, hoover upstairs and downstairs and then chill for a bit. I'm still not feeling right, but it's just uncomfortable more than anything else.
When they come home we've got to go and pick up a bike for little jwil, and get little miss's birthday cake and a few other bits.
It's been blowing a gale here, and next door's trees have been scraping against our window all night. Just another reason for me to be annoyed about them.
I need to get my car insurance quotes this weekend, and sort out some paperwork. I might get extra organised and write my Christmas cards too. I will also try and finish my Christmas shopping. I love having nothing to do but relax in December!"If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney3 -
It's so dark and gloomy I really want to put up the Christmas lights. I'll have to work on DH later. We don't start decorating for Christmas until after little miss's birthday, but I think lights can be part of the celebration 😁😁 The tree and everything else can wait."If you can dream it, you can do it".

I'd definitely do the lights - I am planning to start putting my lights up. I love looking at them on cold winter evenings.

Glad that you are nearly sorted too. I don't buy for a lot of people, so it's not too onerous."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney3 -
I managed to get everything done I had planned today, hurrah. I did forget to try and get little miss a black top and leggings for school though so I'll have to try and do that tomorrow. I wish they'd give us notice!
I did go to the pharmacy and get some meds to tide me over until I see the GP.
Little miss says she wants to do parkrun tomorrow as well. I guess she might change her mind in the morning!
