I'm just drinking my first cuppa, in my kitchen spot. The kittens have been fed & wandered off; it's very quiet so probably back to bed. Both girls are still sock on so for now I'll enjoy the peace.

We're having a slow, moochy, kind of day. There are lots of bits to do, interspersed with lots of breaks.

I have towels in to wash atm, & dd2 wanted to strip her bedding. I'll ice the three small Christmas cakes I put marzipan on yesterday, make a voucher for something dd2 has asked for, nip a return parcel to the Inpost locker and really must get this single peg doll done (I do have a backup plan if not!).

The girls need to wrap, and tidy their bedrooms...dd2's looks less like an explosion in a fabric factory after yesterday's effort so hopefully today she's going to sort all the paper!

I have no idea what's for tea, I forgot to defrost anything yesterday, so possibly bangers & mash again since they defrost quickly-ish 🤔.

After that, showers all round & read for a while for me. I expect the girls will be up nice and late since it's holidays & they have nowhere to be tomorrow - I'll be in bed nice and early ish still!

What about all of you? 🙂

Still feeling utterly wiped out with whatever this horrible illness is. Not quite the flu as I'm not bed bound but I'm not far off it.

Kids been entertaining themselves mainly - started off with boardgames / playing schools / making Christmas paperchains but now DC1 and DC3 are having a Starwars battle on the PS5 and DC2 and I are watching The Princess Switch.

Lunch was soup and rolls.

DC1 and DP have made a big pot of bolognese so dinner is sorted.

Hoping I have a bit more energy tomorrow for work. Although I am WFH so I'll manage.

Also want my appetite back. We have tonnes of delicious treats and I don't want any of them.

We watched Elf last night so tonight will be either Die Hard or Home Alone.

Very late to this but we've had a lovely day.

DH brought me tea in bed this morning and I read some of my book.

We've all been pottering, I got all the Christmas linen washed and dried, need to iron the napkins later ready for 25th.

About to go for a late afternoon walk on the beach, will probably get a coffee out aswell.

Easy tea of takeaway tonight, while watching a film
