Christmas Day - await arrival of IL's

Oh God, yes, still got to go to the farm and pick up the turkey. Ooops, nearly forgot!

The only thing I have left to do is make the centrepeice for the table and do the other foliage decorations around the house (mistletoe and garlands on bannisters etc) which can't be done until Sunday so they are fresh.

Will need to have a quick whizz around with duster/hoover, bathroom cleaner to make house guest ready so will leave that until xmas eve morning before they arrive.

I just need to buy the food, which I need dh to help with so will be at the weekend.

I've got loads to do

Buy all the food
Wrap presents
Clean oven
Defrost freezer
Tidy/clean dd's room (my mum will be sharing)
Make a wreath
'Make' mince pies and sausages rolls
Get dd/ds to make cards for immediate family

Buy a couple more presents, buy gift tags, wrap presents, post cards, tidy house

I only need to decide whether to give ds magnetix after panorama the other night. I have a knex kit as well, not sure what to do.

everything else is tout fait but there wasn't much to do in the first place.

Oh and 2 more cards...

Buy a tree and decorate it (Monday).
Make potato croquettes.
Do an extravagant food shop with all the nectar points we've saved up .

Buy pushchair
Get food
Wrap the above presents
Put up birthday stuff as DD b'day Xmas eve
Get outfit for Sat night
Try not to have nervous breakdown before Boxing day

I was going to be very organised this year. Tuesday night I pulled my sodding calf muscle in my right leg and have been laid up resting it for two bloody days . Now everything has fallen behind. The house is a tip, the wrapping still needs to be done, still haven't delivered a bundle of Christmas cards. Then there's the food shop to do which DH has said he will do (although I will admit that I'm nervous in case he forgets something).
I'm really fed up.

Finish marking Yr 11's exam papers and do their reports, so I don't have to do it over the holiday.

Wrap the dds' pressies and dp's - all others are done.

Food shop coming tomorrow and then just need to get the fresh stuff at some point (probably v. early Christmas Eve, combined with trip to the deli for coffee and cake).

Make mince pies.

DP is blitzing the house right now, whilst I lurk on here, pretending to be writing reports!

write my packing list for our trip to Paris

Buy a few more presents particulary one for DD2 18 she still does not know what she wants but knows she doesn't want money. She had a lot of oney for her 18th. Wrap presnts and finish puting up decorations. Get DD2 and 3 to tidy their rooms as DD1 and MIl are coming and need some where to sleep!

Need to wrap EVERYTHING.
Tidy my pigsty of a house (it's like the bloody 4th bridge. NEVER FINISHED)
