Luckily all my Christmas gifts fit into a small carrier bag, so there will be no wondering where the hell I am going to fit 'em! With no kids resident any more there isn't their new stuff to store, either.
Ruth and Paul will be going back south on 30th, so the place will seem very empty again on that day. However, there will be a load of people around on New Year's Eve, and so I have to busy myself with prepping for that.
The old behemoth of a 3 piece suite will hopefully be going at the end of next month, and so when I get back from NZ I should actually have some storage in my small garage again, and be able to get boxes of antiquey stuff that were brought in to make room for it out of the house once again! In the meantime, I will have a load more stuff to prune out of the study, and new power sockets for 2 rooms to organise.
I'm not thinking of the waistline like I should. I have been "grazing" and that's fatal, especially like yesterday, when we were all (10 of us) sitting round a kitchen table playing games, and nibbles were put on the table.... I only had ONE brownie, honest, but the Pringles were a bit moreish!
