Only six days to go before the Big Day and hopefully you are all sorted!  If not try not to stress.  I still have one or two jobs to do but nothing big and all the deliveries I was expecting have arrived which is a relief!  DH finishes work today so is at home from tomorrow for a fortnight which will be lovely.  Tomorrow we have some jobs to do and grocery shopping and then in the evening it is the Swimming Club Presentation Night for all the swimmers, their parents and guests to get the trophies they won at the Championship swimming events and of course a disco. 

Saturday and Sunday we have days off which will be so nice after how busy it has been over the last few weeks.  There are always jobs to get done but not too many.  Saturday evening DH and I are out on a date night which we have not been able to do for months so that will be great.  Sunday I will be getting the washing and ironing done and up to date before Christmas and Monday I have to go for another blood test at 7.00am and then I can get the cleaning done, we will be collecting the meat for over the Christmas period and also the other grocery shopping and then it will all be done!  Christmas Eve I will be preparing all the vegetables for Christmas Day and setting the table ready for them all arriving on Christmas Day.  I am sure it is going to be chaos but happy, lovely chaos!

Eldest & Little Man the other evening on their new sofa.  It had been a busy day for them both!  Eldest has been doing the training for his blue light driving over the last two weeks and did the tests on Monday & Tuesday of this week and has passed so he is now able to drive to a call out.  Although he does not want a call out because of what it means but he does want to drive his first blue light run!

I saw the above Mug and loved the shape of it so bought it for my hot chocolate or tea depending upon how I feel!

Above are the mince pies duly made, some are in the tin and the rest are in the freezer!

DH’s father did not like mince pies so I always made him Jam tarts for Christmas so as I had some pastry left over I made some.  Unfortunately I only had Strawberry Conserve which is a very soft set so as you can imagine it was all over the place, it had gone hard when they cooled but they do not look very good but apparently they are tasty.

This was lunch the other day, two warm sausage rolls and a cup of hot chocolate, it was a freezing cold day so it was lovely to have something warm to eat rather than sandwiches!

Tonight DH has a swimming meeting with the new Chairman, having handed over at the beginning of November and I think I will be going to bed early as DH has managed to pass his cold onto me!  I am hoping that it won’t last long and will be gone before next week!!!  I hope you lovely lot are having a Thrilling Thursday. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
