And then suddenly it is 28 November and I realise that I have less than 3 weeks to get things really sorted and organised. Just a little matter of a job and children getting in the way of Christmas bliss hey?
So I invite you to join with me in getting ready for Christmas - slowly, calmly and just doing a little every day.
In theory. If I do a little every day and stop pretending I have loads of time - it will all be fine.......honest!
So today, to get ready for Christmas:
Dig out your tablecloths, napkins etc, check for stains, liberally apply Vanish, stain remover, bicarb etc and chuck them in the washing machine.
Go on - I bet you could get up and do this now. It will take about 5 mins - and you are on your way getting ready without the panic.
Anyone joining me?

Already done that last week. Been busy decorating the living room early this year. I`m all set for Christmas. No major jobs to be done as we will have a quiet time to ourselves. Just DB and me. X-mas day we are booked to eat out with my youngest son and his wife. Then, Boxing day we shall have a 4-bird roast all to ourselves. I`ll be spending as little cooking as possible, but will make my own mince pies for us. Pie filling is prepared and the dough for the pastry is sitting in the freezer. All this was prepared last week as well. Christmas will be a doddle this year, relaxing and peaceful.
