That's the first half hour flown by.. I got about 100 socks paired up folded and sorted the laundry so now am off into another half hour.. just passed the pc after answering the door.. 3 more parcels arrived..

Off to sweep and mop!

hex2 - we need that sign for our fish tank too! I remember last year saying "he'll be gone by Christmas and we can get rid of the tank" but he's still here. Swimming round all by himself! We cleaned the tank out on Saturday and he had great fun checking out the rearranged stuff inside. (we have cleaned it since last Christmas )

I want to try that photo thing without the box, so I'll shove the photo on again and then come back on and delete it!

Doesn't work that way for me!

We the undersigned will not let our Christmas be spoilt by trying to be everything to everyone, if our homes are not 100% perfect then let it be our friends and family want to see us not our cleaning/flying skills. We will do our best and sod the rest Happy Christmas everyone

What a great idea. well so far I have had a power failure (don't know why??) and DS running around saying mummy the lights need new batteries :LOL: :LOL: Have put DW on, filed a couple of holes in the wall (from curtain poles) put up some more decorations and lights.

TBH haven't really got a clue what else I need to do :LOL: oh well.

I did an hour in the back garden so that is that one off the list - lovely to be outside but very cold. Looks a lot better out there, and it is nice to see a lot of the bulbs I put in peeping through. Tomorrow we will have been in this house for a year - amazing how fast the time goes. We have unreservedly loved every moment of it as well.

Right, I have 1h 15m before we have to pick ds1 up from school. Time for a quick drink (make mine a red stripe) and an hour attacking the hall.
