    - Tried to get paperwork more in order and started to sort stuff...more to do over next couple of weeks
    - Bought cheap choc/orange pud for Christmas & cheap box of stollen from Aldi and hidden away on top shelf

    @Makingabobor2 I am pretty sure I would eat a choc orange pudding and stollen way before Xmas if I bought them now :D
    I have made some mincemeat though :)
    We are going on holiday with DD2 and family on Monday, so looking forward to that. Nowhere exotic, just a rented cottage a couple of counties away, but it will make a nice change. So, tomorrow will be cooking, shopping and packing :#
    Anyway, back to today:
    Dog walk first thing
    Another HG pear for breakfast fruit
    Postal survey stuff done
    Blitzed some rather boring veg soup I made yesterday. It wasn't too bad with a swirl of creme fraiche and a few croutons.
    Made naan bread pizzas to use up some jarred peppers in oil that needed using up in the fridge. Also included HM tomato sauce, leftover bits of chorizo and grated cheese. These got eaten for lunch.
    Wrangled 2 different grandchildren at 2 different times for various reasons :D
    Washed my hair and left it to dry naturally
    Got the bags and rucksacks out of the loft and started making lists - I hate packing!
