Everything is cleaned and organised. Dropped presents off to some family kiddos. Ham glaze made. Kitchen ready. Tomorrow I can just chill and cook for a couple of people.
Hope you all have great days whether social or quiet or just another day. Cheers
So nice to have everything sorted. Hope you have a lovely day, too
Has she lept out and bitten your ankles yet? Ours used to hide under clothes racks and do that
All night lol
all presents bar one have been obtained, I can get that on friday
wrapping commences , I got these awesome xmas dinosaur and mercat and cat stickers for on the kid’s pressies 😃
Damn, it’s time to get ready for work already. Hopefully it will be a cruisy shift and I don’t have to work too hard. So if you guys could do your best not to set things on fire, crash your cars or get your cat stuck up a tree that would be great.
I’ve been gardening all day and now cannot move from couch, so there’ll be no risk of any of that over here
so jelly, I love gardening
That sounds good, stuck on couch is usually an ambulance job. Unless you are really heavy and need some burly firefighters to hoist you up I won’t need to do anything.
Can’t promise nuffin.
Just do your best, that’s all we can ask for. But if you do decide to do something try to at least make it interesting. Get stuck it the chimney pretending to be Santa or something.
Will try my hardest. Hopefully the rest of society does too!
Helping MrsGod make Brandy Alexander pie. 😋
Nice
I cannot stop sleeping. Guess my body needs it, but it would be nice to sleep at the right time. And not fall asleep before I can drink some fluids 🐪🌵
Tired. Hope everyone has a good sleep and enjoys their day tomorrow, what ever your plans are.
At my folks’ place. Next door’s teenage daughter just dropped off a plate of gingerbread men.
She’s a lovely kid, that one
One of the best part about this time of year is looking forward to watching Dinner for One on NYE. It makes me cry laugh everytime.
Hell’s yeah. Classic
I had emergency surgery a couple of days ago, and I’ve been home trying my best to recover but this is a new level of body horror I was not prepared for. I’m so glad the whole thing was free though, and the hospital stay was genuinely quite pleasant (I got lucky and ended up with a private room).
Here’s hoping I get through the next couple of weeks without any complications, I just want this thing to be over and done with.
That’s rough. Hope everything goes well and you can recover without drama.
If anything does go wrong there’s always your local Urgent Care but I’m sure you won’t need it.
Merry Christmas to you Sasha ❤️
I actually started the whole thing at urgent care, who took one look at me and immediately sent me to the ER haha. I don’t expect to be back anytime soon, things are going well healing wise, it’s just freaky as hell that the standard is to not stitch up the big hole in me.
Merry Christmas to you to 😊
I’m glad it went well and you’re resting now! That sounds terrifying!
Time is the best healer. Hoping you have help, if not anything not essential to daily life can wait. Rest is important, and you can’t rush it.
Oh jeez. Hoping for a swift recovery for you.
I hope you have people to help.
Sure do, it’s a bit of a full house right now
oh no, so many gentle hugs I hope you have a speedy recovery
I hope you’re doing ok and recovering fast.
If you get stuck and need help/aftercare I know there’s a nursing service called Call On Clare? Fingers crossed you manage ok though.
I’ve gotten a handle on doing all the Christmas stuff.
I think all the presents have been bought, just have to organise and wrap
all the food is ready to be prepped, Turkey and chicken pieces are in the freezer ready for Saturday
tomorrow’s food is easy, just burgers and trifle , 2 x shortbread is made, I will bring half the panettone I made , only because it’s so big I won’t be able to finish it.
house is super organised and 95% clean already 👍
The wine has been poured. The eyelids are already heavy. Christmas tradition has been chosen to be put off.
We’ve made it to Albury alright. The trip up was good but it has been a big day for the boys and they’re tired silly
I heard there was a problem with the water around there recently - maybe check before drinking it
A bit too late now but thank you, I’ll look into it so no one gets sick
Time to work! Looks like everyone’s out doing their food shop today. Also the husbands who don’t know what to get their wives.
Watching the market melt down this morning was glorious. My viewpoint from my apartment overlooks the fish market…it was like someone had kicked an ant’s nest
Ooh thanks for the tip.
👍
Shopping is done
2 x naps had
Games downloaded
Waiting for cheesecake shop to open and pizza place to start delivery.
Yeeha!
winning 🙂
Wrapping presents and just found out I may have doubled up on a present. Not really worried about it as I got the Whispering Jack album twice in 1986, and it was pretty awesome.
Whoops. What was gonna be a quick run to the brew shop for some odds and ends (both His Lordship and I are planning on getting some mash on) turned into a quick bunnings nip I NEEEED A TOILET lookit that strawberry bowl it would be perf for your mum and then since it was next to woolies oh yeah I’ma gonna grab me some cokes and the wheat germ for my mash and yeah ok while I’m doing that you go get your dexies filled ooo they have those orabl B series 3 electric toothbrushes we want half price until 9pm!
…we did not plan for many of these. But we did them nonetheless
A hamper has arrived from work. I am now richer by
Christmas Eve run complete. A lot warmer than I thought it was.
I’m so organised this year, I don’t know what to do with myself
No viking rampages today, I went on a poisonous rampage in the garden instead. All the naughty grass that has snuck its way through the cardboard in the garden beds has now been sprayed. The worst bindii infested patch of naturestrip has had selective poison put on it, and the worst of the broadleaf weeds there have been sprayed too.
I was happy to see the climbing bean seeds I thought had failed have now sprouted. Some of the tomato plants didn’t cope with the hot days and have died, but I have a few more seedlings that are still ok to replace them with and all the cherry tomatoes look to have made it. It doesn’t look like any of the cucumber seeds have managed to sprout though, so I don’t think I’m getting any of those this year.
Got any tomatillos? ours have wild seeded all over the place. Ranging from small seedlings peeking out their heads at the front to a fuckin’ 2 foot bush out the back already punching out calyxes
The main things self seeding here are bindii and mallow.
I’ve never actually grown or even used tomatillos. In my last place I did have wild seeded cherry tomatoes, plus a few things like parsnips, parsley, lettuce and bok choy. By the time I have enough plants built up to do that here I’ll probably be moving again, hopefully to my own place where I can keep the garden long term and get the benefit from that sort of thing.
Found some drinking glasses the other day. Couldn’t decide between the high ballers or the tumblers so I bought them both. Didn’t need them and now I have to find room for them. They was Christmas present to myself.
I’m deciding on a coffee or the start of a 3 day bender.
Boozy affogato? I had a sneaky beer at lunch. But driving to see fam later so keeping a lid on it.
spose I better do stuff
I have a shopping list
and a few chores
Got some shopping done, then had a nap. Now I wonder whether to have beer or Prosecco
Home. Food bought. Food eaten. Now clean bedroom. Clean fridge to make space. Mop floors. Wrap presents. Figure out exactly how long I need for things to cook tomorrow. Listening to the hogfather audiobook for company. Let’s gOooo.

I got the call centre job lol! Starting mid January.
Gonna be so flush with my a-bit-higher-than-minimum-wage wage, way more than Centrelink lol. I’ll actually be able to pay rent without going broke for half a month every month
