    Oh wow! Does that mean that
    a) you are totally organised
    b) you are overly smug
    c) f*k, you might actually have to ask for help!

    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    a) yes!
    b) no!! Very rarely smug! And anyway, still have my brother, b-i-l, and both sets of parents to finish!
    c) no! I reorganised the boxes!

    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.

    Going to stick a wash on, don't have to do much until it's dry so it's not taxing. Going to do some studying and a bit more wrapping. Got my s-i-l wrapped last night

    Oh and my arm where I had my flu jab still hurts and is now itchy!
    Hey, I had the same with my flu jab! A large lump the day after jab which lasted 3-4 days, then it just went red and hurt, then it was itchy for a couple of days...Ian came out of completely unscathed! I've sent all crizzy presents to Scotland!

    Reorganising boxes is cheating...

    Not cheating at all, have you never played Tetris?

    A has a much bigger pile than T but only one of her presents was above £10 and her main gift was £40 and T's was double that so if he moans, he'll be getting put in his place, birthday or no birthday!!! J would normally get them nice things he thinks they'd like but I've insisted they have the same spent on them. Our differences in upbringing are obvious sometimes! I think A's stuff is 90% unicorn related and it's all in unicorn wrapping paper! Can you see a theme?

    Not worried about my first family Christmas, not one bit!

    I usually have a budget but I don’t stick to spending the same amount on both. Age difference affects the cost of gifts. I do try to ensure they have the same number of gifts to open and I’ve become the master of stocking fillers over the years, plus my youngest has a birthday in December so if he gets something big for his B’day he doesn’t get so much for Christmas and vice versa. I try to mix it up each year but can’t afford to do it all.
