Buy the turkey and vegetables- first thing tomorrow.
Hoover everywhere
Clean the kitchen
Wrap presents (!)
Make yule log.

I make some veg beforehand

Bread sauce- done
Pigs in blankets- wrapped
Braised cabbage- done
Cheesy leeks- done

Tomorrow will pick up turkey, other veg.

Will peel and prep spuds and carrots tomorrow and will wrote out my Christmas Day meal plan/timings.

I like to be on top of my laundry too so that will get a big push tomorrow.

Meal plan for 3/4 days? 24-27?

Good call on veg prep. I might make the mash for ds who is not a fan of roasties.

Ironing might be a good idea, I have literally nothing ironed and I might want to make a slight effort Christmas day...

Make the Yule log before you clean the kitchen.

Also... skip the hoovering and stick a shit Christmas film on. My recommendation is bad moms 2 because that will help you feel less guilty for not hoovering. If there was one year to go into Christmas Day with a messy house, this is it. Embrace!

As you're buying your turkey (I assume fresh) tomorrow, this isn't for you bellagogosdead

But for others who might me reading this thread, it's frozen turkey - one word very important message DEFROST

(there are threads every year from people who have forgotten, or remembered too late)

Get on top of the laundry - washing and drying as well as ironing. Nothing worse than not having what you want clean when in holiday mode!
A quick dust, clean bathrooms and hoover up.
I'm doing lots of baking this week, some last bits of wrapping and hoping that Christmas Eve is a day of rest!

No room for turkeys in my freezer sadly, I struggle to fit in a packet of veggie burgers some days. I miss my chest freezer.
I am up and hung up some washing so I can tick one thing off the list.
