I hope for some of the days the weather is dull & grey, as it will make for a cosier time on the sofa, not getting dressed and watching movies all day with lots of mugs of tea. A whole day of not getting dressed - bliss.

I may go for a long walk some days if dry, I'll be WAH some days but it wont be busy. I may go to the gym.

I won't go anywhere near the shops for the sales - utter hell

I'm donating blood. I was booked in to donate in October but they didn't need my type of blood at that time, so it was put back until 30th December. It's the season of giving after all.

Football twice and horse racing twice. It’s a fantastic week starting on Boxing Day.

I’ll also probably be putting lots of stuff on Vinted (not Xmas presents!). Love a NY declutter!

Look at online sales (got a trip in January), try and get some helium balloons without my daughter being present on the 27th as it's her birthday 28th 🤣 then we have nothing planned
