Thread to state Xmas jobs we intend to get done today.

Oops DH has reminded me I am taking him to the podiatrist as well this afternoon, so the trousers might be all I manage

Take up my trousers for DD's wedding on Saturday. I know I've had them since about October, but I might have grown in the interim(upwards, I know about outwards!!)


If I am still standing
Wrap remaining presents, only 9 or so, post one to friend in Wiltshire, probably obsess about the Ocado order for the 22nd (the day before we go away. )

Pour more brandy into the cake, give the woodburner a really good clean, wrap DD's presents - I do one person per day. Make a GF xmas pudding, my first time so more as an experiment than anything.

Post cards written yesterday. Get the tree lights down and test them (no tree yet) and organise S to come and put outside lights up.

Buy Xmas tree and post overseas cards.

Finish writing the cards..

The tree went up yesterday, here it is...

I'd planned to do the final Big Clean so the decorations can go up. No chance, 7 month old grandson here for the day unexpectedly. Other daughter just phoned, she's 'popping in' to see her baby nephew. She's bringing her own lunch so I now have an hour whilst the baby sleeps and before she bounces through the door.
Family life eh! No complaints from me, feeling so lucky (if a bit tired)

I am going to make a batch of cakes to take to the local Post Office sorting room tomorrow. I am an Ebay addict, and they are always so cheerful when delivering my many parcels.
I shall probably bake today and freeze over night, then ice and decorate with home-made fondant holly in the morning.

Have my hair cut. Buy Christmas tree (real one). Try and find all the baubles and decorations in the storage space along the roof. I call it the crawl space, as that's all you can do in there. It's long, dark and narrow!

Today its finish the Christmas junk boxes for the little ones and wrap, make 2 handmade baubles for my brother and sister. Make a folder for DG ticket for Disney on ice , make sausage rolls for the freezer and knit a quick dolly bed blanket for DD for her gift to DG :-)

doddle ;-))

Go to local PO and post all cards to Canada and Eire. If any money left buy a couple of groceries.

Change bedding and wash it.

Have a general tidy up.

Get off GN, I do not think that it is good for my health!!!

Just today,eh? I'll tidy and clean the lounge (the ironing's set up in there at the moment) and go through the decorations I've got and make a list of what I still need. I'll need to decide on a colour scheme for the decorations and as I want to put more up this year, I'll no doubt need to augment my red or gold baubles, depending which I choose.

Tomorrow I'll.........

Sort my clothes out ready to pack and my hair things, toiletries, jewellery and champagne!
No! CBA. Sit and read and watch GN, after all I don't go until thursday

Clean the inside of the livingroom window.
Tidy kitchen.
Finish the sewing filling the diningroom table and clear it away.
Start cards.

Um, er, ..........
