Sunday before Xmas

Husband has in the last week:

• made many batches of mince pies,
  
• boiled Xmas puddings,
  
• practised making vegetarian pies and soups for the vegetarian visitors,
  
• bought brandy butter (which is delicious on his home baked walnut and sultana bread)
• set up the Christmas tree
• wrapped Christmas presents
• written dozens of cards
  
• put lights on the stair window
• fixed a broken fuse
• explained the problem with the shower to the plumber.

Today I've:

• moved a double bed and two singles into different rooms
• made five beds
• shopped for a new duvet
• done three loads of laundry
• put lights up in the conservatory
• written a dozen Christmas cards
• wrapped some more presents
  

As sister-in-law used to say, "we've been diliging" - that is we've been very diligent and done lots of work.

Roll on Christmas! Let the visitors arrive!
