house....... er no - it's blimmin' 07:10.
Been up for 3 hours already, fed the cats twice
counted 2 fence panels down that need putting back,
kids still snoring, found £2.50 down the sofa, eaten a
mince pie and 2nd cup of tea. Enjoying the peace
/while it lasts! (Hope I can stay awake long enough
tonight to make sure that Father C puts the prezzies
out and fills the stockings!!!!!!
The Christmas preparations went well yesterday -
cakes iced, mince pies baked (just need a sprinkle of
sugary snow this morning), house relatively clean
and tidy.
The wine was for me as a reward once my little
helpers went to bed!
Off to Mummy and Daddy's again today to join in the
preparation for our Christmas Day lunch tomorrow.
Secret family recipe for Chestnut stuffing (my 2 elves
will be peeling chestnuts!), peeling veg, playing
draughts and listening to music.
Then it's back here for our Christmas Eve ritual of The
Polar Express, a carpet picnic, and hot chocolate at
the exact moment in the film when it is the law to
serve it up!
Wishing all my lovely readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Still amazes me how much life has changed since this time last year. 10 and a half stone of me has melted away, and the difference it makes to every aspect of my life, and the lives of those around me (especially C1 and C2) is nothing short of miraculous.
Thank you one and all.
