The more the merrier! I do love how you have put exactly that number of smilies Ally! :rotfl:

Ccl sending hugs, you've gone through so much, and u will get through this but there is nothing worse than when everything goes wrong all at the same time

Brown Eyed_girl I'm sorry to hear about your Christmas family situation esp when you extended the invitations so early. My DD have the opposite problem, we are having a forced family Christmas which we hate and another family member is having to come over and spend Christmas with us to help with the situation as the situation is becoming worse every year. But DD and I have found ways round enjoying Christmas beforehand, I'm sure with all the extra savings and preparation you have done u will have a fantastic Christmas.

Still not masses going on here.
Being very good and checking banking every day.
All left overs being used up, slow cooker has been put to good use.
Decluttering has stopped. DD is home and brought stuff with her! So some bits have gone on eBay

DD and I went to our local garden centre Christmas opening at the weekend. We bought a few bits as there was 20% off and I also had £6 in vouchers off our main spend and a voucher for my tea for free. Really enjoyed it as I don't get to spend so much time with DD with her being away at uni so it was a lovely day. DD came home all smiles, she loves the Christmas prep.

Still don't know if living room will be decorated for Christmas, still saving up and it's time aswell.DD not bothered, have a chair still in packaging, no settees but the tree will still be going up. If I can just get packing more things up then we will be ready to start in January. That the plan! Have only just got the hall ceiling sorted which was about to collapse because of leaks springing up everywhere

Have a great day everyone x

Morning all
Got an appointment at the surgery this morning for one of those over 40s health checks. This will consist of a nurse telling me I ought to lose weight (I know ) but I am hoping for the nurse who is, shall I say, rather a lot fatter than I am, and not one of the skinny ones :rotfl: I will walk to the surgery and back (a couple of miles at least) for free exercise and because it is often a pain to park there Strange thing is, it is really hard to get an appointment at the surgery when you need one, but they rang up almost begging me to take up this health check thing, which I hadn't done anything about as the letter arrived while I had a rotten cold. Apparently they were struggling to fill this particular clinic :huh: Grr got to go for a fasting cholesterol test as my cholesterol was .03 higher than it should be. Worryingly, the nurse didn'tseem to understand the difference between .03 (which was the actual reading) and .3, it was like being back teaching again :eek: Seems like overkill to me. I shall go for the test and bet it will be back to normal, it is such a tiny deviation!

Anyway, apart from that:
Washed hair with shampoo bar (which is going to last for ages) and left it to dry naturally
HG cooked fruit from freezer for breakfast instead of bought fruit
Need to sort out fridge!
Washing is out on the line, blowing nicely today. Will put another load on in a minute 2 loads dry so far, including a duvet which, as it is a summer weight one, I managed to cram into the machine. Another load still out, must get it in shortly and drape on airer
Finish last of carrot and coriander soup for lunch with a slice of toast, only a little bit left, but enough for me Baby GS had this, but really wanted my tuna sandwich :rotfl:
OH wants kedgeree for dinner, so will make enough for more than one meal, as it is a bit of a faff Made loads, and it isn't great as I used Basmati rice instead of the more robust easy cook long grain stuff that I usually use, and it broke down a bit. I also did too much rice. Anyway, it tasted ok. Must think what to do with the rest of it :eek: I will think of something, as it will not be wasted - maybe little patties of it heated / browned on the griddle....
Post a RM surveys item Done
Try and avoid doing any shopping for another day, though OH is bound to whinge about there not being any more bagels (to which, for some reason, he is addicted) Avoided doing a shop, as OH hasn't yet noticed the scarcity of bagels I did pop into Waitrose with DD, as she wanted some satsumas, and we spotted bargainous huge reduced pumpkins for 10p each, so we picked up one for each of us. But DD paid for mine as well
Check for online surveys, trying to get back into this One for onepoll today
Some cleaning and tidying, in house and garden, Not much, just endless tidying and washing up
Check banks later, but not anticipating any surprises Done, no suprises.
Not spent anything today :T

Hope everyone has a good day

Hk, sounds like a lovely time with your dd.

Todays list
* Had to change ds's bedding again today as I spilt my coffee on it when I went in to make sure he'd not rolled back over to sleep this morning :mad: so I've washed 2 loads on the quick 30 degree wash and gave them both an extra spin beofre putting on the line, lucky I didn't spill it on my bed as I was able to fit the single duvet in the washng machine. Keeping eyes peeled now though as we're forecast rain. brought it in now as its looking very dark in the sky now, will put on the radiators to finish off after the kids are home
* called into aldee with little list (only 4 items) and stuck to it
* have made a chilli con carne for tomorrow night, dh always says its better a day or two after making
* have a spag bol (using the other half of the pack of mince ^) cooking in the slow cooker
* cooked some pasta, will have a cold pasta mayo with a bit of gammon and salad thrown in tonight
* make families lunches for tomorrow
* scrub the oven shelves that I left soaking in the bath last night done but had a little scare as I'd put the shelves in a microfibre towel so as not to scratch the bath and walked into blue bath water and when drained a blue tinge in the bottom of the bath, sorted now though with a bit of cream cleaner.
* check banking/ update spreadsheets
* update ds1s pocket money chart as he'd asked me to get him some sweets from aldee from his money
* book gym class for tomorrow morning (thanks for the youtube link CLf)
* make omelettes ready just to reheat for brunch tomorrow after going to the gym
* sort out front room, didn't get round to this yesterday and I still want to find dss guitar pick
* put away washing off the radiators and iron the couple of bits I didn't do yesterday

Thats my starter, take care all.
