A few last minute presents to buy Some wrapping to do. Waiting to hear whether my son in law is taking me from Sheffield to Manchester Sunday or Monday.

Christmas with the family including an excited three and a half year old. Trip to see Gruffalo's Child at The Lowry Christmas Eve. Back home by train on the Friday then back again New year's Eve for the daughter's birthday New year's day.

Think I might need a rest after all that.

Not in a Christmas mood! :?
Pressies still to wrap...some haven't come yet :roll:
Tree done, check!
My husband is working this year not back till New Years Eve. Next year he is working both... :roll:
So I will spend the most of my day on my own.
The girls and grand children will pop in, a video call to our son and family in China.
I have been asked to go to the girls and friends have asked. But... :?
Odd. It was hard to find a seat or floor space in ours years ago.
Times are a changing!

I was thinking of Christmas and BCC.
I can't remember if it was Christmas or New Year, but we got a milestone then! I know I was trying to make a dinner, but holding it off and watching the tree! :roll: :shock:
Then I was in tears... :lol:
