I'm officially on a diet - but I've gone back up the past week not down (meh, I can't diet to save my soul - I was trying to eat healthily again, but I am sick at the mo so eating what I feel like). I've only had 1 mince pie though - a naice deli one, but it was bland and boring. I actually would prefer the M&S ones in the gold box (I haven't seen those this year though). I am waiting until my own batch "matures" sufficiently to make some (and I have a 4 year old jar to use - but I am keeping that until Christmas itself).
DD did almost all her wrapping yesterday afternoon (she needed something to "do" after an upset in school) and actually managed to get parcels that are held together and all labelled clearly - and only 1 that she realized afterwards she'd left the price tag on! (For her cousin the same age as herself so not the worst). She still has about 3 to buy, we think - we need to do a list and check it.
I also wrapped for 1 family last night, in the hope that I can transport them over the weekend. It may not work out, but I will be ready for the possibility. And I brought DD's advent calendar home with me as I drove, and the bag of books but I couldn't bring that in after she was asleep as DH was still up and there's 1 for him in the bag too and he'd want to look.
I went to pilates on Monday night, slight mistake as I was utterly floored by it, but still good for me. And I am taking it much easier at work to get myself well. But I need to keep doing that for a few weeks.
Happy belated birthday CBeebies 
It's lovely to see all the plans starting to fall into place!!
