Wrapping, card writing and a trip to town are my jobs for the day.

Back to work tomorrow after 10 days off
Has been lovely.

What's everyone's plans for today?

Eating pizza, watching Arthur Christmas and consuming vast amounts of coffee. DD1 was screaming between 4-6am, and DD1s other ear has gone snotty now too. Starting to wonder if they'll be well for Christmas.

How ready is everyone? I'm buying the box for the dressing up clothes tomorrow, and last of the presents should arrive in a couple of days, and I marzipanned the cake last night. Still a few to wrap, they're mostly big ones though.

DH got a £20 M&S voucher for signing up to British Gas homecare so we're seeing if we can get some nice Christmas food with it tomorrow.

Scrap all that.

Have been trapped under a sleepy ChestyDog all day. He had a fit this morning so just wants to be attatched to my leg

Well, it was only really a plain sponge cake in a Christmas tree shaped tin but tasted nice. Going to make another one on Saturday and get the DDs to "decorate" it :)

Hoping to finish my shopping tomorrow!!!
