Christmas Day

Well that's that then.

Mike got up just after 7am this morning and came in to wish us happy christmas and then asked if he could look in his stocking.  He then bought the presents back in to unwrap on our bed.  A pair of Crocodile eye glasses, a scraper picture of a dragon and some sweets.  He then went back to his room for an hour to watch a film before asking permission to wake his sister.  She did not come and ask to open her presents - what a difference age makes.

We got up and got dressed (except Mike) and went down to have breakfast - they checked that the stockings were there and then got ready to eat up.  After it was cleared away we sorted the presents and got down to the real work of the morning.  We took it in turns and watched each other open the presents - everyone seemed really pleased with their stuff and after a short video and some photos they all settled down to playing with their bits.  Dave filled his watchbox (nearly full)  and Mike opened his Dragonoid Collussus and made it - Sarah started learning Sign Language and I read my Quilting book.

Phoned both sets of parents and Uncle Alan/Aunt Sue to wish them Merry Christmas and sorted out going to  Alans on Friday.

Made lunch - turkey cooked really well - potatoes were not that brill but I knew that when I peeled them, should try a new brand on Xmas Day, everything else was ok.  Forgot to cook the stuffing - what the hell - no-one noticed.

Started creating my 2012 Control Journal - as per FlyLady, haven't got far yet but trying to do little jobs while I see them rather than thinking it needs doing and then immediately thinking - later.  Even watered the plant in the downstairs loo this evening.

Watched the new Doctor Who, not bad and I'm currently waiting for Downton Abbey at 9pm.  Mike went to bed and Sarah has gone to watch Buffy.  Started a new bottle of Whiskey and thought I'd type on here before finishing the back of the Green Knitted Jacket i'm making.  The purple cardigan is on one side for tonight, but only need to make the sleeves and do the neck and it will be done.

Need to get sorting out the list of UFO's as if the list doesn't exist I can't tick things off it.

Back to the Jacket now.
