I'm drinking my first cuppa, in my kitchen spot, as always. The washer's on a quick, 15 mins, wash for my jeans already - I want them for work tomorrow, and I have some brisket in the slow cooker for tea. We'll have it with broccoli & cauli cheese, roast spuds, carrotts and Yorkshires I think 😋
Today I'm going to make our Christmas cake, with dd1, and some gingerbread dough to freeze to make a house closer to Christmas. I also want to make some spiced pumpkin muffins to top with cream cheese icing & maybe 6 mince pies, just because.
Dd2 decided yesterday she didn't want to bake with us. She'll be asleep a while longer anyway - she got up in the night to watch someone's stream of Adele's last night in Vegas (until January). Although, I think I hear her moving about already 🤔 We still have those couple of maths questions to look at so we'll do those at some point.
Dd1 wants her hair dying while the cake bakes, and I'd quite like to carry on my next sets of peg dolls, including a secret one, this afternoon.
I also want to write a list of stocking fillers to pick up when I go Christmas shopping with my friend on Thursday.
Tonight will be Self-care-Sunday, an idea pinched from another MN-er. Full scrubby shower, shave the bits that need it, loads of moisturiser & then settle down with Nigel Slater's Christmas Chronicles for today 😊 I might do a bit more, very slow, crochet too.
What about all of you? 🙂
