You've got a busy day ahead then pirate ...and that's an awful lot of meat to cook

Sainsburys

 

 

pmsl @ Pirate 

 

 

me, busy all day child minding... night preparing Crimbo dinner with a few vino's, pressies are all wrapped. Hoping for a earliyish shower pj's on and a glass or three to wind down. 

 

*daughters buying a take-away for supper* 

To 'loosen up' and laugh a bit according to some people 

 

But..work until midday and then me day's me own  (I'm going out for me dinner) 

I have the soup to do(thats my contribution to the Christmas meal)and buy the bread(Walnut and sour dough).

then do nothing for the rest of the day.

i dont put the turkey in 'til about 6am!

more meat

morrisey would be throwing up reading this lol

*Books late ticket to Damesy's* 

Lay in, help prepare veg, track Santa online, eat snacks, watch the snowman & the snowdog, wait for SIL to pop round and exchange gifts... Christmas Eve is my favourite day of the whole year!

Lay the table for Christmas lunch. Defrost whatever needs defrosting. Clean loos, wash kitchen floor, wander downtown to see if there is anything worthwhile in the sales.

 

evening, to pizza Hut for dinner with the two girlies, they will go to the pub afterwards, we will wander over to some friends for a nightcap, then home to put the pressies under the tree, wait for the girlies to get back, lock up, then hubby needs to wait for them to go to sleep so that he can put the stockings on their beds

Sounds like a lovely day rexi

i think im a bit rat arsed

 

merry christmas

Well. It is Christmas eve, eve

 

merry christmas pirate x

and same back to everyone

 

i have purple sprouts

 

its not a condition where cream needs to be applied

 

im also doing the jan thing about no drinking

 

me and oh are not drinking through the month of january & giving what we save to charity

Get up, make a nice breakfast/lunch (depends on who the kids make get up early to do brekkie but I've bribed  persuaded them to wake dad) clean the whole house (floors, washing, new bedding for all of us after it's washed of course...courtesy of the sis!) baths, cooking meat, cutting it and then a few drinks til bedtime when we bring out all the santa stuff and then I try, hopefully, to get to sleep!

 

Love Xmas eve......it's even better than Xmas day!

Play it by ear.

 

 

Well....you missed the apostrophe and .....

 

 

 

 

.....

Well.. I'm up, so that's a start.    I'll shower soon, then my mission, if I choose to accept it, is to find some back up turkey gravy mix type stuff.  Then deliver a couple of wee prezzies to my angelic neighbours who I hardly ever see, but they put my bins out, take in my parcels and sweep the snow from my path in the winter, pick up and wrap a couple of last minute prezzies (they're already bought, I just need to collect them from my sis) then I think I can just lol around for the rest of the day. 

 

EDIT.. .just read Ells thread and remembered I still have the bed to change and floors to wash.  

I leave the floor-washing to last thing at night, so it dries overnight when no-one's around and trailing dirty footprints over it!

I'm driving up to Portsmouth to see Father's side of the family. Well, actually Father is driving, I'll be sleeping. Not sure what the actual plan of the evening is, but they're quite religious so I may begrudgingly attend mass.

Oh no.. I refuse to do housework after tea time.   There's only me to walk on them anyway - and as it happens, I've got one of those steam mop thingies so it dries in no time.

Back from Sainsburys . . . shelves had NO cauli or turnip!!!

 

Not too full with people either

Day off - all done  

I'm at the hotel after bringing Frau Jer and schwester. Going to another town and bringing me mutt. WAiting for m'son to get in touch. When he finished work I'll get him too.

ive peeled & roasted & stuffed

 

I'd like Pirate to be suspended for a few days for that comment

He's been there and done that in seamed.

happy birthday

Been cleaning all day, put the new bed covers on and then bathed the kids, started cooking the meat and doing some last minute wrapping.  The kids are still playing around so hopefully they're tired in an hour or so and then I can start being Santa

My itinerary for today is....DONE! 

Ditto So I've just opened a tin of cheesy footballs 

I purposely didn't buy cheesey footballs .......................once I start on them I can't stop.

 

I'm sat with my girlie and Mr Woo - we've just put all the pressies under the tree. My girls put mine to shame they're all sparlky and beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooootiful. Having a cuppa and a mini mince pie. A;; prepped for tomorrow - feels very strange not having a drink though  I'm not at all bothered just odd that's all ..........think I'll be tempted with the cheese and bics tomorrow though - what can I have instead of port?

Me too.....although I'm not! 

That's brilliant Sooz 

That's dangerous living right there Baz! 

No more solids for me until tomorrow; fluids are good though 

 

Don't envy you denying yourself the port, Soozy.  How about one of those fruity non-alco drinks?  I really don't know what to suggest
