Morning all

DD deposited at GP for the morning so I can wrap her presents. I had to drive in the Ice - not good.

Todays jobs
Wrapping presents for DD, DH and friends
May have to pop to shop to get a copy of photo for GPs present as our printer doesn't want to print it.
Make veg soup tonight for christmas day
washing, washing and more washing
brave the ice again to pick dd up.

Not too long a list but I suspect the present wrapping is going to take most of the day.

Hope everyone is well

Morning all
Had a lovely lay in this morning. Ds's didn't get up until 8:30!!!!!! It's normally 6am.
Although ds1 was up in the night telling me there was a roar at his window.... (could be a lion, dinosaur, monster or more likely one of the cats!)

Got loads to do today, no time to write it out here, but I have it all in my diary.
Was supposed to be going spft play today, but far too busy.

Friend has dropped a gignormous bar of White Toblerone - just what the doctor ordered!!!!! well for me anyway - tantrum has ceased, he is now reading the TV guide on sofa but coughing rather gruesomely
