I actually can't believe it but I am Christmas ready now! All food shopping done & in the fridge.
All presents bought & wrapped
Stocking for dd & dh done & stuffed
House clean & tidy - all decorations up & now I'm sitting down with a glass of wine & candles & fairy lights twinkling & I am slightly in shock!

Hope everyone else is surviving!

Same here. To be fair I start buying pretty early and stagger my decorating too so I try to relieve as much stress as possible as Dec always busy with Xmas activities etc.

Feeling a bit hungover today as was my works Xmas do yesterday so looking forward to starting the Xmas holidays properly tomorrow

All done here, I'm sat in my grinch pyjamas drinking mulled wine with parky on the telly!

I’m jealous! I have the food shop coming tomorrow morning. Then I will clean the house. Do the last stocking and wrapping bits and then I’m done. Not long now! Enjoy 😊

I really wish I was ready - I have been ill for a couple of weeks, then the kids got it and I'm now in hospital with my youngest who has been so poorly with it. It's night 2 and I am so tired and still not 100% myself. I still have a bit more shopping to do! Hoping we will be released tomorrow but have to wait and see!

Candycurrantbun · 22/12/2023 21:43

I still have a few presents to wrap but I kind of like the last minute prep.

PictureFrameWindow · 22/12/2023 21:50

Food shopping tomorrow then I'm done!!

RedToothBrush · 22/12/2023 21:51

The only thing we need to do is a last minute cheese run.

I can cope with that.

DanceMumTaxi · 22/12/2023 21:53

Nowhere near done, I’m very jealous.

Ewoklady · 22/12/2023 21:53

Well done op 😀 Morrisons are coming at 9am but I've had the text and everything is coming ! I've just poured myself a Bailey's. First one in 7 years (3 babies and breastfeeding in that time!) Merry Christmas!

JustACountryMusicGirlInCowboyBoots · 22/12/2023 21:59

I'm all wrapped and the food bought. Need to give the place a quick clean and the dining table a clear and wash the festive plates and stuff. Stockings can't be done until they are asleep Christmas Eve but the sacks are filled. Christmas baking tomorrow. Ds is ill but not covid thank goodness. I am knackered. I walked 2.5 miles in the pissing rain and howling wind today just to get my mum flowers. She's worth it but I could have done without the extra task today but nowhere had any nearby. It's an annual tradition so I couldn't not do it.

I used to be so organised, but in the last 5 years I've been struck down with onspread Osteoarthritis! It's changed my life, I'm on strong painkillers, have already had one hip replaced and more joints need replacing too, I'm on the waiting list...I am 50, so not a really old lady. Anyway, I can't do what I used to, upsets me really

OnlyTheBravest · 22/12/2023 22:30

Well done OP. I am close. Just got the hoovering left and one lot of bedding to change.
Will sit down tomorrow to survey my efforts and toast my success with a movie and a tipple.

poppetandmog · 22/12/2023 22:36

Nearly there - just have to build a pool table 😭

HappyCamperTent · 23/12/2023 08:24

Love the Ghosts reference 😀

Today is the we are going to drop off presents to a friend of mine and ds’s, then we’re going to ds’s last Christmas Party and Santa visit 🎅 After that we’re going to get some nice bread, drinks for mine and ds’s Christmas Eve box and breakfast for tomorrow! Then we will go and pick up the Ice Cream Cart Toy that is at my parents house and figure out where it’s going to hide until tomorrow night and drop off 3 presents that we’ve got for them to wrap.

Then at home I want to get the cleaning/tidying finished as I don’t want to be doing it tomorrow 🙈

Stockings will be filled tomorrow night when dp is bathing ds 🤗

I also have 5 more presents to wrap!!
