Food prep for tommorow. Wrapping last bits. Getting house ready for tomorrow.

Then films, gammon for dinner and a few drinks Smile

We’ve had a busy morning. Food collections, breakfast out, cleaning and visitors. Just got the living room to Hoover and then cava, crisps and a movie.

I love Christmas Eve.

DH has taken DD out to do some last minute shopping so I am having a tidy up, sorting out the food prep for tomorrow and then having a bath with a glass of wine and a film on the iPad Xmas Grin

I'm just about to start the wrapping. All of it, I've left it very late this year, but it's fine, I like wrapping. DH has iced the Christmas cake & has just put the ham into a pot to soak. I have to finish the decorations & I might make some mince pies. DS will do a quick Hoover round. Then this evening we are going to friends for drinks.

BentNeckLady · 24/12/2019 13:32

Made a cake, stuffing, brining turkey, pigs in blankets, a lasagna for tonight, cooked a ham, cleaned the kitchen.

Am now watching HP and having a cup of tea and a a mince pie!

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 24/12/2019 13:33

Got my last bits earlier

Watching A Christmas Carol (the George C Scott version) and just chilling online . Tonight I will have a Chinese takeout and watch the soaps .
Merry Christmas everyone.

TheTinselrati · 24/12/2019 13:33

I had a lie in, breakfast in bed, a long bath & now I'm lazing in bed again. It's bliss. I will get up & go out later for a few drinks with friends.

BarbedBloom · 24/12/2019 13:34

Currently making a gingerbread trifle and waiting for DH to finish work. Then we are doing food prep before ordering a takeaway and watching some Christmas films

Sidge · 24/12/2019 13:34

I'm at work until 1800.

dementedma · 24/12/2019 13:35

Drinking gin and watching The Grinch

Newnamewhodis1 · 24/12/2019 13:37

Took the day off to see my dad but have a terrible tummy bug so not seen anyone. Not sure whether I'll make it to family Christmas tomorrow so might be staying at home alone. Bah.

Emmacb82 · 24/12/2019 13:37

I had the midwife this morning (18 weeks) and got to hear baby’s heartbeat so perfect start to Christmas! Me and 3 year old have just made jam pies. We will have a buffet this evening and then sorting presents and watching telly. Lovely x

tinsletime · 24/12/2019 13:38

Watching HP, I'm going to crack open the cheese n biscuits in a mo, and I might also open a bottle of wine...heaven

VerbenaGirl · 24/12/2019 13:40

PJs, chocs and movies. Curry later.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 24/12/2019 13:50

Full of cold, so going to have a bath and try to repair my ravaged face. DP is at work. I have made chilli for dinner, after not really eating anything since this bug hit me at the weekend. Hopefully some spices will sort me out...

flowerycurtain · 24/12/2019 13:51

It's all hands on deck on the farm today to make sure tomorrow we can do the minimum amount possible.

Dh was out at 6 and still out.

I've been good prepping all morning.

Kids have been watching tv/playing monopoly.

We're about to go out for a walk and I'm hoping to be able to squeeze in the crib service.

mrsed1987 · 24/12/2019 13:56

Walked to the local shop and now just chilling. Chinese take away later3

Peridot1 · 24/12/2019 13:57

I still have a few small presents to wrap. Stuffing to make. A bed to change. A bit of a general tidy up.

Then pick DS up from work at 6 and home for lasagna for dinner. Might see if we can all agree on a movie to watch.

happypotamus · 24/12/2019 13:57

I came home this morning from working a night shift and going to some shops on the way home (work is in the city centre). I had been awake for about 30hrs by the time I went to bed. In the remaining hours of today I have to wash mine and DDs' hair, help DDs ice the biscuits they have made with DH, tidy up, take DDs to church this evening, persuade overexcited DDs to go to bed, wrap the remaining gifts, plan what to do when with tomorrow's dinner, try and sleep before I die of sleep deprivation

Shouldbedoing · 24/12/2019 14:10

I'm self employed and I just fielded a call asking if I could do my thing before Christmas. Definitely not.

firstimemamma · 24/12/2019 14:14

Trip to the park with the baby.
Baking muffins.
16 month old ds opened a present.
Chilling with a film during nap time.
Once ds is down for the night fiancé and I are going to stuff our faces with cheese Smileand of course leave out a carrot, mince pie and little drink!

Merry Christmas all.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 24/12/2019 14:21

Lots of cooking and mise-en-place for tomorrow

MinesaPinot · 24/12/2019 14:22

Got last bits ready for tomorrow. Now settled on the sofa with DH watching Toy Story 3 before we walk up the pub to meet friends at 4 for a drink. Then cold boiled bacon and mash for dinner and telly. Might go to Midnight Mass but as we've got an early start tomorrow may ditch that.
