It's Christmas Eve!!!

Asda failed on our grocery order, DH has already gone to buy milk, bread sauce and chipolatas, then needs to pick up the turkey later. Thankfully I've only got a bit of last tidying to do as I've had buggar all sleep.

Cant wait until this afternoon when everything has been done, then we can watch a family Xmas film, have our buffet tea and sprinkle reindeer food. This is my favourite day of the year Xmas Grin

I have to bake second cake, ice two cakes and do a bit of tidying. We also need to track down supplies of cat food as only Sheba mini pouches will do.
We have everything wrapped and ready and we are going to dd's tomorrow to have dinner and the afternoon with dgc . I am very excited.

It's so exciting! Xmas Smile
We're going to visit my nan in a couple of hours and then dd is going to her Nanna's house for the afternoon with her dad while I get a few essentials from the shops and give the house a quick clean and tidy.
Then dd will be home for tea and her Christmas eve box will be waiting under the tree, I can't wait to have a snuggle on the sofa with her while we watch a film and drink hot chocolate!
Merry Christmas everyone Wine

It's here! Christmas Eve at last. German presents tonight Xmas Grin

Seven, see it on 2 sleeps - I've also been eyeing up things for next year. Saw a lovely tall slim tree and asked when it was going on sale. She said boxing day. So, I'll do it for once and go boxing day to grab it ready for next year. It's perfect for the hallway!

I'm done. Finished wrapping last night and shopping. Just need to vacuum today, but that needs doing anyway.

Good luck to everyone still trying to finish today. May the Santa Magic be with you Xmas Grin

Time to relax and enjoy time as husband and wife, aaaahhhh

DH came back with pastries for breakfast. He's gone to pick Turkey up with DS and DD1.

We're considerably organised this year. DH only has one left to wrap, I've known him to be wrapping on Christmas morning in previous years!
