Hope you've stocked up, remember all the supermarkets are going to be closed for one whole day.

I know, normal weekly shop with a few extra's as our son is with us over Xmas, we got it done whilst it was relativly quiet which was the plan.

Morning all, even though I only had a few gins last night, I actually have a headache this morning! Most unusual for me....

I am on the countdown now, hopefully work will let us out early, Mr S comes home tonight and Christmas can begin in earnest.

The cleaning is in progress at Hill House.

The sitting room is ready apart from the Xmas tree needs decorating. The decorator arrives tomorrow.

Now cleaning the kitchen before the chef arrives

Then all the bathrooms need to be scrubbed.

@Fab Foodie may just find me plastered and snoring on the sofa when he arrives later.

Crane/Building Site news

The are concreting like mad.

They have now covered the undergound parking and tower 2 is starting to grow.

Tower 1 is rising rapidly. They are working on the core of the building. Wrapped with a shroud template (I guess). Once the concrete is set, the shroud raises up and they keep pouring.

I am hoping that work let us out early. Living room is ready, I have one present left to wrap, bedrooms are ready and kitchen is clean. I was going to clean the oven but I have decided I will have someone in after Christmas to do it instead.

Plastered and snoring is the best way to be!

No more 6o/c alarm clock until 3rd Jan

In other news Mrs GM is excused of cooking duties today as last night she sliced the tip of her finger off cutting potato chips, only a little bit but enough to warrant a big bandage.

You know it's Christmas when 'The Worlds Strongest Man' is on again !!!

Off for the last few bits - veg basically. Need a melon, carrots, swede, potatoes, onions, brandy sauce, and pigs in blankets (shipping order as the kids love them). Wish me luck as the shops will be rammed. I'm going to Aldi rather than Morrisons as the traffic is easier.

I've just finished writing my cards and I'm about to go to the post office .... then got quite a few to hand deliver around Bristol by bike this afternoon!

 

[mybike]

I bought my wife a card. I've decided to not send it.

Send?

I need to find it, she has seen it but I still can't find it. It will be for me.

Tell her you gave it to her & she must have lost it.

<edit> corrected 'lots' to 'lost'.
