We're pretty much ready for Christmas here on the Paradise Peninsula.
Everything is under control - I've never been so organised.
This is our 'living tree' - bought last year and amazingly has survived utter neglect throughout 2010.
The big tree is in the living room but laptop gremlins are stopping me from showing you.
The house is decorated ... the conservatory is filled with lights
Cranberry Relish is made ... and of lots other good things to eat too
... cakes, fudge, peppermint creams,
Presents are all bought and mostly wrapped ...
The main food shopping is done ... with just fresh fruit and veg to buy next week.
All the washing and ironing is up to date ... cupboards have been tidied
I'm not really feeling 'Ho-Ho-Ho' about it all though, because tomorrow is my last day of freedom!
I'm going back to work full time on Wednesday.
I intend to spend my last day doing nice things!
Oh my word! You are very organised! Your tree and conservatory look wonderfully festive. Hope all goes well for your first three full-time days back at school. Ros
ReplyDeleteYour house looks wonderful, but you're going to meet yourself coming back. I thought I would be super organised this year as I stopped working earlier this year, but not so. I think I'm more unorganised than usual. Enjoy your day tomorrow and good luck for Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWould you like to come to my house for your last day of freedom and sort out my house - lol - enjoy!! I am sure you will have a hoot back at work with lots of excited kiddies who will have plenty to tell you ((hugs).
ReplyDeleteYour conservatory looks magical all lit up! Enjoy tomorrow - hope you do something nice. Have a good end of term - nothing too stressy!
ReplyDeleteHi! I just got caught up on your last few posts. Your house is decorated beautifully!! I love your conservatory. That is the type of room I could spend a lot of time in. You are so organized and ready for the holidays. And I also love your little cosies. If you got a chance, I would love to have the name of the book that they are in. Very cute! And I'm sorry about the loss of your other friend :( You are very smart in making the decision to make the most of life. I look forward to hearing about your wonderful adventures.
ReplyDeleteAll looks very lovely.Oh you have been so busy.I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Everywhere looks so pretty and festive. I love the little Santa's sitting on your windowsill and your teacosies featured in yesterday's post. The snowman is my favourite :0)

ReplyDeleteGood luck with going back full time - I do hope you enjoy it.

Merry christmas, you are far more organised than me! no tree up at ours yet but then it does prevent the kids getting too over excited too early! have a good one. x
ReplyDeleteYour house is decorated beautifully Kathy. You are so organised! I still have loads to do, I feel like hiding away and coming out when it's all over!!! I am sure you will soon fit back into the school routine as though you had never been away!!! x
