ARE YOU ALL READY FOR THE BIG DAY?

Have you all finished shopping etc

What about the wrapping ?

Anyone relaxing yet or is that a joke ?

i'm more or less done!

... need to prep all the veg, and cook the ham tomorrow.

also need to do stocking bits ( but as DD/DS are not giving me any peace I can't! )

tomorrow need to lay table etc

and clean out piggies!



I am currently trying to write santa letters to post down the chimney, but keep getting interrupted! 11yr old DS being a BIG pain!

looking forward to sitting down later and doing nothing!

All sorted I think. At parents in law for a week :eek: No cooking or housework for a week at least :laughing:

Have a merry Christmas Angel and everyone else :excited:

I'm sorted. My own girls have been so good today (so far). They've tidied up their bedrooms as they didn't want Santa to hurt himself (that's how messy they were) and they cleaned out the guinea pigs in full, in this awful weather. We are going to have a relax this pm watching a DVD. :thumbsup:

Just got back with more wrapping paper!

Still have to make the chocolate house, wrap some pressies, help DS with making one last present and bake a cake (if I have time). Just sitting down with a cuppa to regain enough energy to do it all!

think I'm just about done for today. first 3family visitors arrive tonight and other 3 tomorrow so need to head to Costco first thing tomorrow for buffet food and a few other bits for Christmas dinner. figure I'm going to be in the kitchen A LOT over the next few days. My biggest concern is found out my sister's partner who I have only met briefly is staying 5 nights - had a previous job as a food critic!!!

Still working, well, watching Smurfs Christmas Carol :)

Had a cold and sore throat starting so will dose myself up and write a list of 'to do' for the morning by which time I will feel 100% i hope!

My teens can chip in and help tidy up too. :rolleyes:

Waiting for 2 presents to come from Amazon - one arriving today - if they can find my house! and one due tomorrow. Both for DH so tough if they don't turn up on time :D

Did all the food shopping yesterday, presents all wrapped just need to put in santa sacks ready for the big day but will do that tomorrow night when my 2 are in bed. Tomorrow will prep all the food so I can spend Christmas morning playing with the kids. Need to visit SIL tomorrow at some point

All sorted and sat drinking in the hotel we're staying at over Christmas.:)

Hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas

I'm almost ready. All presents brought and wrapped, food shop done. Today I've scrubbed my downstairs! It sparkles! I've also finally caught up on my washing!

Tomorrow we've got the upstairs to do, will prep the dinner and then chill! I reckon the upstairs should only take a couple of hours. We are having takeaway for tea so should be able to relax in the afternoon!

Can't wait now!!!!

Still working until 6 tomorrow :( Turkey is out of freezer I cook it xmas eve as there is no room in the oven christmas day with all the roasting bits and the Beef. I have a few pressies to wrap for ds, so here's to 6 tomorrow evening when the wine opens and the chinese arrives so excited love Christmas morning opening my pressies have lots under the tree from parents and lo's :clapping:

Happy Christmas to all my friends on here :cheerleader:

Yep yep yep. No work tomorrow so unexpected day off. Pressies wrapped, house tidy as ex MIL came today to see dd2 on her birthday. Meat out the freezer and all food shopping done. So I feel very chilled. No alarm tomorrow!! I'l prep veggies tomorrow then sit back and let it happen. Merry Christmas everyone and well done on another year of hard work completed (or nearly for some of you)

I keep getting that panic feeling thats there something else I should be doing or something else I need to buy :panic:
but apart from that just the very last minute stuff

All sorted and house cleaned but need to get outside tomorrow and clean the animals as put that off today due to the awful weather but can't put it off any longer as dont want to be doing it on Christmas Day!

Yep all done now :) well just need to tackle the mountain of ironing but other than that we are all sorted :)
Happy Christmas everyone!!! X
