The Best Is Yet To Come

Well today is the first day that I feel like Christmas is over, so I have started to remove the Christmas decorations - to be honest I have only removed the advent calendars from the door so far, but will slowly start taking other bits down today. The remainder of the Christmas dinner will also need to go as I think it has got to the point of no longer being safe to eat. Most of it has gone so not wasting much but next year I need to remember to put some in the freezer straight away. We still have a box full of cheese to use up but that will last. We also have loads of fresh vegetables to eat up, so will work those into the meal plan over the next week or so. I don't think we will need much from the shops at all this week.

I had planned on a trip to town to get DD2's glasses mended but think we will postpone until tomorrow as then the library will also be open so we can sort 2 jobs out rather than just the 1. Glasses will be ok for another day - A pillow fight and pillow to the face has squished the nose pads so now glasses are falling down nose. I have tried to mend but am wary that if I try to do too much they might just snap off. Am going to let the lady do that instead of me. DD2 has her spare set from before should they become too annoying for her.

Today will be spent sorting out the house, the washing, the homework, the food / freezer / meal plan, the budget for next year. After yesterdays day of not moving far from the sofa I feel a bit more refreshed and ready to tackle some things rather than just thinking about it. Not sure how much will get done as I am still on a go slow but will give it a go
