I have my shop coming tomorrow I have managed to get that from 180 to 127. As I had some vouchers think thats qiite good. So I can officially start saying no its for Christmas.

I have a few more bits to wrap. Need a tidy up day then im done.

Kids are excited.

Oldest ds is working xmas day which is a bit sad but he can be here for a bit before his shift starts.

Ds18 is here xmas evening till early afternoon. On xmas day then hes spending the rest of xmas day at his girlfriends family home. Feels a bit sad but also nice as well as he seems really happy.

No wrapping done yet.

Also not done the side by side sibling piles to make sure I've got it right 🙈

Illness has struck the house so kids are stir crazy already and the house is a tip. Thankfully we aren't entertaining the masses this year. Hoping we're all better in a day or two.

Half the shopping still to do but also no space in the freezers.

I feel like a character from Motherland 🥂

All presents bought and most are wrapped, just need to buy the veg on Tuesday then I'm done.

I've got to go to the breast clinic in the morning to get something checked out so hopefully by lunchtime tomorrow I'll be mentally in the mood too.

The kids are so excited and I can't wait to see their faces on Christmas morning.

Feeling a bit smug this year. Im done, wrapping sorted. Main shopping done just the butcher meat to pick up on Tuesday with any last minute random bits.
I've also just managed to finish decorating my front room and dining room ( Bought the house this year and its taken a fair bit of graft!)
First year we have space for hosting. So rather excited but I'm one of those " Join if you wish but dont expect me to not be in comfies and slippers on the big day and I wont be slaving over the oven all day either..
DS however is bouncing off the walls with excitement ( Hes 8 and its to be expected!)

Nope, not even close! Very unlike me!

Not wrapped a thing 😳 I am off work but between visiting the rellies and various appointments tomorrow I think that will be a Tuesday job.

We have guests on Christmas eve, Christmas day and boxing day.
