Happy Christmas Eve everyone!
DH has ventured to the supermarket, me and the kids are chilling. We will go and see some relatives this morning, and then that will be us until Boxing Day. We have BIL coming tomorrow. I'm happy that I'm done now apart from just the kitchen and the bathroom. I'll prep as much as I can today for Christmas Dinner as well. We'll have takeaway tonight so no cooking needed there.
In case I don't get on again, hope everyone has a lovely, restful Christmas. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🥳🥳🥳🥳"If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney2 -

Thank you everyone
We had a nice Christmas and I have a nice pile of books to work my way through
DH is back to work today, and I'm having a quiet one as I'm all peopled out so looking forward to a bit of peace. Today I will try and make a start on finding a home for all the gifts as well and organising all the goodies we were given too. The kids are engrossed in their gifts so not bothered.
I have continued PADding so need to update my totals. I've cashed out from a survey site, so sent that over this morning."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney3
