Thanks, Louise - as you can see I haven't quite succeeded in my plan to Go To Bed Early...

Aw, hope you're feeling better now


I'm going to put the kettle on, make tea and do coursework.

Tidy my home and then do the lazy thing and watch tv, then go to bed.

playing carols at one of the local supermarkets (the posh one today ) then off to York

Hope you enjoy your carolling as much as I did yesterday - but I bet it will be colder for you, we were too hot in the sunshine!!

Going to bake some Christmas goodies with the kids and then have carol service to play at tonight

Last carol service of 7 this year... and just in time, as I've started coming down with another cold! Have fun in York, Louise.

Didn't happen




Thanks Floss, hope you feel better soon

Eat food. Lots and LOTS of food

going to try out a new reed then settle in front of the tv and try to stay awake for a bit longer.

Christmas shopping. Elbows out...

Eat steak and chips and the regret it.

goodnight forum

Goodnight Louise x

Bath time for me

work until 16:30, rubbish


should be at home with the clari

Gotta got to see some gym coaches...... DD2's gym club has been given a month's notice on their premises.... it's pretty bad- some compete at international level and they are now homeless!

Go for a jog, then off up the church to practice one last time for tomorrow night.

Go to C's to attempt some baking. Shudder. This is NOT within the Comfort Zone of Bag.....

Be afraid....very afraid....

"Working" until noon (but there's nothing to do, so sitting around on the computer/playing Angry Birds/reading New Scientist).
Quick bite of lunch, in to town to pick up my re-glazed glasses which should stop there being two of everything in the world, and then to the supermarket to pick up the meat order. Have to be back by 3pm because KwikFit are due to come and fix the flat tyre on my husband's car.

While waiting for the tyre-man, I shall probably make some mince pies. Like this:

Go out to the waiting room and (again) call the name of an old lady with a 10a.m appt. She will be coming in by hospital transport and could arrive an hour late and I'd have to fit her in somehow -and she's timetabled for 1 hour. Also have to see the other appts as close as possible to their appointed time. Roll on 4p.m; then all I have to do is 90 mins organ practice, then go home and cook, finish the washing, make pastry, do the Jamie Oliver Xmas gravy, make a wreath for front door with the flowers I bought yesterday, iron....

Gah.

Enjoy I have to be in the right mood for baking but rather enjoy it when I am

Continue with the Xmas pressie wrapping up interspersed with ironing.

Have gathered up turkey from shop, been to the bank (glad to have made it before they shut - memorised their opening hours for next week).

Need to institute Major Tidy Up before we have some visitors at 7.00.

Shall make a cup of tea to help me on my way (and to procrastinate a bit more ).

See if I have any idea what to do with a clarinet once it's assembled.

Continue to do no work until I leave work at 5pm.

Off to choir practice. To practise with the choir

Actually made sausage rolls. Will do mince pies tmorrow then. You really needed to know this, didn't you?!

Ooo, dead-pig rolls. I miss dead pig (If it goes "oink" then it's under-done).

C & I have made some sort of biscuits....not entirely sure what exactly and perhaps not the most aesthetically pleasing objects, plus some killer mince pies which, munch, munch, washes down avec a glass de mulled, turned out pretty darned well

Sounds fab Bagpuss enjoy the fruits of your labour

I am off to the local pub to sup a few glasses of Rudolph's Ruin. Cheers, All.

Wrapping the family's presents....just in case I run out of sellotape or anything. Last year was an emergency run to the petrol station when I ran out at 1am on Christmas eve!

iron my concert shirt for tomorrow night, then settle down with a book

Head to bed. Get an extra few minutes zzzzz in the bank so I'll survive Midnight Mass tomorrow.

Go to bed I hope (when I finish putting the clean sheets on it)
Am dead on my feet.
Only time I sat down between hours of 3.30 and 11.55 was to do organ practice and later to eat tagliatelle.

There is a stonkingly beautiful Xmas wreath sitting in the kitchen sink; it's got greenery, red gerberas, green chrysanthemums, red berries, eucalyptus, ivy and glittery white stuff in it but I daren't hang it up on the front door because all the moss will fall out despite string, wire, ivy stems etc.
Bad idea; will stick with oasis next time.

make some noise on my cornet have spent the morning shopping and cleaning so am looking forward to this

Continue to unpack/tidy my flat and then pack a suitcase for a 3 night trip to Kent.

You'll have to play it to me one day



Safe journey, VH

Will do

Start a 1000 piece jigsaw with the kids.....

I started a 1000 piece jigsaw yesterday and it's an absolute BLINDER! Attempted more today in front of the Muppet Christmas Carol but now need a nap before attempting the next shift. It is gorgeous though - from Past Times

Puzzle-Bag x

Wrap up some more presents *sigh* (Bag is Very Smug because she finished hers days ago...).

And possibly do a small dance of joy for having my internet back!

Warm the voice at the piano before Nativity Service at 6pm. Then back to the in-laws for supper, and midnight mass to finish off Christmas Eve in the time honoured way.

Cook.

Piano or clari.....
I think clari as I seem to be having some stamina issues and it will be more noticeable if I miss than piano will.
Besides, piano is easier to do the odd 10 minutes here and there if necessary.

Ours is a lovely wild animals one (from Morissons a few years ago!). Quite easy as no big areas of similar colour and loads of markings to identify! Good as I'm doing it with the kids (7 and 13) so can't be too tricky or I end up doing the lot!!

Glad to see sis is up for dancing following her reconnection to the internet. I trust you will be wearing your pulse and rhythm accessories, C? (Sorry, fellow forumites, this is an in-house joke. I MAY feel moved to enlighten you all should the mulled wine quota be sufficient....)

Do pour yourself another glass

No...DON'T pour yourself another glass!!!

Oh please pour yourself another, Bag

Go to OHs mums house ...

Bagpuss will be round in a minute and we shall get stuck into cooking/preparing veg, spuds and Yorkshire pud, aided by small amounts of sherry and toast..
