By the time we got to bed we had a pair of bodies that ached. Again, we had an early start. I tided the bookshelves in the spare room, the shelves in the recycle closet, hung a mirror by the front door, had a ride up to the A10 to get the car washed and top up with petrol (now at 88p per litre). I then did a South Beach pizza for lunch and stayed in the kitchen for the rest of the day. First I made several dozen fruit cake cookies, the mince meat filling for Wednesday's cottage pie dinner, and then made the sage and onion stuffing for Christmas. Then, if that wasn't enough, I did us a roast chicken dinner.
Dawn, on the other hand, did the laundry, ironing and vacuuming in addition to tidying the house, doing more cleaning in the kitchen, hanging the Christmas stockings, getting the bedding ready for Brady's arrival, and sorting out more Christmas stuff. Somehow she even fit in a phone call to her sister, Kelly, and Brady.
We ended the day watching our favourite film, now a Christmas routine for us, Love Actually.
