Count down to Christmas

Every year, I say that I am going to be more organised and every year, I am rushing around the week before Christmas. All the decorations are up, most of the food is bought. I just need to collect the turkey and buy the fruit and veg. Only a few presents have been bought, but I will hopefully buy the rest on Tuesday.

• On Monday I am taking my dad to the hospital for his yearly scan to check that the cancer hasn't returned and taking my mum food shopping.
• On Tuesday, I am having lunch (weather permitting) with my embroidery group Material Girls and then completing my shopping.
• On Wednesday I am have my hair cut and then getting the rest of the food.
• On Thursday, I need to collect the turkey from the local farm and do some cleaning.
• Christams Eve will be spent listening to Christams songs and maybe watching an old film. Mince pies will be made and a glass of wine (or two) enjoyed, whilst finishing all the wrapping of the presents.

Next year I am going to be more organised and try and keep the week before Christmas free.
