Happy Christmas! Yes I know I'm a couple of days late but we have had lots of family visiting and we went to other family on Boxing Day too. With a few days to prepare, we managed to cope with everything - cleaning and tidying, likes/dislikes/allergies/vegetarians for meals. It has been a good Christmas.

Now I've got to get ready for the new term at school. Just about everything we own is in the ironing pile and I'd like to get as much of that sorted as I can before we go back. A head start on the ironing means that the next couple of weekends will have that bit less to do in them. Can we keep up this level of tidyness? That would be a good resolution for the New Year but I'm not making one that I am guaranteed to break!
