It's such a nice feeling when you've got everything

I spend about 15 hours a week in hospital with one of my kids, all I did was click a mouse for 3 weeks and then go home and retrieve the deliveries from my neighbours. It's the most organised I've ever been, and I've actually put the 'thought that counts' in to practice. It's remarkable what boredom can make you do, organisation wise....it even brought me back to posting in here.

Apart from myself there is another ancient, knackered old boiler here in Arcati Towers.  A week today we will attempt to coax it into life.  We will probably follow this by fetching the equally decrepit radiators a few well aimed wallops in the hope that they can be encouraged to show a hint of warmth.

 

If not, we will be down to striding around the estate, chain-saw at the ready, looking for victims of ash dieback to fell.

I was being quite smug having wrapped a few presents until I realised what the date was

I'm not doing any wrapping  I got amazon, John Lewis and Selfridges to wrap most of the stuff...everything else in gift bags, 6 medium for ÂĢ1 and 4 large for ÂĢ1 from the ÂĢ1 shop

I love wrapping pressies, paper, bows and curly strands
