My list is getting longer by the day, last 2 days with DD at school so lots of running around today!

I have until 12pm to finish wrapping before my middle son arrives home 😬😬
Then I need to exchange a Pandora item (I hope they will exchange in store as its an online order) and make my daughters room all clean and fresh. We are going to Liverpool on Friday armed with rubber gloves, masks, cleaning products and bleach! We are scrubbing the kitchen because apparently its a right mess and a lad from another flat has been sick in the sick 🤢😤🤢 yesterday, so my daughters flat mates won’t enter. The other sink (there are two sinks as there are 8 of them) is full and piled high with dirty dishes from one of the lads. The amount as got to him and he can’t face it and no one else will do it for him.
So my husband and I are going to sort it all out, clean the oven, fridge & microwave etc so they all have a fresh start in January, all sparkly and clean.
Then we are pretty much done 🤩

To be fair I love planning Christmas (and Florida) 💗

Me too, we haven't had kids in the house for a long time now - apart from grand nieces - so he tends to treat me as if Santas been

Christmas is "smaller", less to do - which is nice in some ways, but I do
miss the bustling about...

I know I shouldn’t complain really, hopefully I’m giving up work next year so this should be the last year of ‘fitting it all in!’. Have had a good day though done C&cs, few bits in Asda, Costa gift card, picked up stuff for my son, picked him up from work, changed bedding at home, just got DD flu jab to do after I pick her up from school!

Less than a week to the big day.

I might start making a list of who I need to buy for today.

[Sandra & co]

All bought and wrapped and me and dd going to London to buy her a outfit tomorrow, hope the lurgy doesn’t get us! 🙈
