DONE
Load up dishy
Get dinner on (macaroni cheese - no turkey YAY!)
DCs bath
DCs bed
Clean loo

TO DO
Clear kitchen sides
Keep tackling huge pile of laundry
Get some more boxes out into bins (now they have been emptied)
Tidy hall
Tidy sitting room
Tidy Dining room
Get DH to put bread on before bed

Just finishing off the macaroni cheese...

A couple of years ago we had some friends to stay for NYE, they had a 5 month old too and we all spent the night trotting up and down the stairs trying to settle the babies and necking champagne inbetween - it was Xmas Grin But impossible to go out I think, babysitters would cost a fortune I imagine.
We are going to cook some nice food and fall asleep infront of a film. We both like watching the Jools Holland thing which is on every year so will have that on I expect.
JKS - DH has lost 2 stone this year but has decided that he wants to lose another stone before the baby comes, so we are going to get a half bottle of bubbly Grin

It is v.sad for our friends. They will be fab parents when their turn comes and it is heartbreaking. They are the ones who lost a baby at 16+ weeks last year, this miscarriage was earlier in the pregnancy but that doesn't make it any easier. I am so :( for them.

Well I'm in bed, clearly a week with my mother was more exhausting than I realised Wink It is sooo nice to be home.

DONE
Me - Ocado order for tomorrow while watching Mary Poppins
DH - unload car and carry everything upstairs
Unpacking - about half one
One load of washing
Takeaway
DS to bed - can still hear him chatting away to his cuddlies :)

TO DO
Maybe watch some Sky+ in bed?
Sleep

TOMORROW
All usual
Me hospital at 9.45am for diabetes appointment
Ocado 12-1pm
5 loads of washing
Toy sort out
Utility room sort out
Another early night

Hello Smile

Have had a good christmas but I am ready to leave my parents' house now tbh Blush The dc are behaving like spoilt brats, I'm all relatived out and I just want to be back in my own home! [ungrateful] I don't think it helps that their house is really old with massive thick walls so it is really dark all the time, natural daylight makes a huge difference to how I feel I find. And they are the last of the hoarders so every surface is covered in stuff and I find myself itching to have a good clearout Blush

DS has a fitting for his pageboy outfit tomorrow and then we're going to my cousin's for lunch. Then on friday I am leaving the dc here and going to my friend's for a NY meal and staying overnight. Then I can go home!

Last year for NY I sat home alone drinking taittinger (my fave) and watching 24, it was quite enjoyable actually!

Alice am not a big turkey fan either, we don't have it at xmas cos none of us are that keen and it just goes on and on and on. (wasting you can have bread sauce with chickne too surely?)

Ali so sad about your friends Sad Hope they are ok. Glad you were well looked after at your parents' house Smile I will miss the morning cup of tea in bed and my mum reading the bedtime stories when I'm back home.

Mini I hope HMHB's wasn't one of the super tidy houses Wink

Come post on my thread

Really annoyed with DH, v.unlike him but he just doesn't seem to have switched into 'home' mode. Does anyone else have this problem when you are just at home pottering for a few days rather than away/out and about/have visitors?
