Yippee yippee yippee

And what's more, I have a freeeeeeeee morning tomorrow to get on with some jobs.
Dad's at the hospice for the day.
Smudgelet's at Holiday Club at school.
Tiddles is cleaning Auntie M's car as pay back for the loan of some pre-Christmas spending money.

In the afternoon I regain all but grandad, and M and I take the boys off for our traditional afternoon out to visit a certain somebody ;)

Meanwhile it'll be frantic ironing, cleaning, present wrapping and the last few presents to buy. Oh, and clambering into the loft to rescue the stockings ready for Santa. No tree this year, with going away. Not worth it for just two days, sad though it feels not to have one.

I wonder if Tiddles will learn anything from his less-than-exciting Christmas gift this year. Well, unfortunately I can't afford presents AND £80-worth of replacement PE kit, so guess which he's getting. I decided the problem must be that the bag is too easy to overlook - after all, how can a huge bag containing t-shirt and shorts, sweatshirt and trousers, trainers, socks and football boots (all labelled) go completely missing without trace? - so to hold all his new kit I have purchased a very special new kit bag. I mean, he can't possibly not notice one that's bright pink, can he? Vindictive? Me? Never! ;)
