MAKE THE MOST

SUNDAY - Wrapped some presents up of course need to buy gift tags and bows well no ones perfect .

Went shopping to Fox Valley outlet to Andersons boutique store and bought Helen  another Michael Kors handbag for her birthday and a silver spoon ring what is made out of a old antique silver spoon then bent in to a finger ring .Had a spray of the Initio Oud mens perfume  still love the smell got some free samples of the  Pegasus and Percival range not heard of them and they do smell good but not better than the Initio , one day .

Ordered two turkey crowns and a joint of gammon for Christmas dinner from the farm shop I need to pick it up on the 23rd or 24th of December least we won't need room in the freezer as it will be fresh .

MONDAY - Asked my son Guy over for Christmas will pick him up Christmas Eve and he will stay over two nights at least he won't be on his own this Christmas .It will be the first Christmas in a l long time I will have been with him on Christmas Day .

TUESDAY - Finished work at 02.00 am at three a.m I was pushing a trolley round Asda buying some essentials for Christmas like stuffing goose fat and two jars of cranberry sauce goes with the turkey as well as other bits like flour and pastry didn't get everything but there is still time it was nearly four when I got to bed after having a shower and a juice .

Up at half past nine a.m chopped the veg and onions for the braising steak I am cooking in the slow cooker we are having it for tea put some red wine and Worcester sauce in should be nice .

Still need to get some beers , cider and other drinks not going mad as we are running out of money I have spent the most ever on Christmas presents its not been a cheap Christmas . I know many people who put their Christmas tree away last year, was for the last time we are all in dangerous times not just with covid but with Russia amassing troops ready for war , China building weapons for use in space   . And all other natural disasters floods , tornadoes and earth quakes .So better make the most of it .
