97 days now folks. Thats only just over 3 months.

Unusually for me I have done nothing  Confused  motivation is at an all time low!

We have a £5 limit on pressies, and Christmas will be spent at our house with just us. My mum and her partner may come but thats still to be decided!

Quite right too Libby.

I have to start thinking now, as we don't see one brother and family very often, so we get all Christmas and birthday pressies for the next year, and deliver to in laws, 200 miles away during Oct half term, as someone will cross over with them by Christmas.

If anyone is thinking about turkey, I will be selling and sending them out again this year.

I love Christmas and the run up to it - make myself lots of mental lists.  It'd probably be a bit too scary to actually write them down this early.  I make written lists usually about mid November.

Made the Christmas Cake at the weekend (and I refuse to call it an iced fruit cake!).  It'll be fed with brandy once a week until first week of December when I shall marzipan it and then ice it a couple of weeks later.

Christmas Pudding being made this coming weekend.
