Eh not a whole lot 😏

May get my sis to throw a dye in my hair.

Do a bit of DIY I need to finish.

Might go for a walk in the phoenix park.

I'm single, 2 teenagers & going to my brother for dinner tomorrow = quiet, non-manic Christmas 😊

Pretty busy on my side… work from 6am, then straight into Christmas dinner prep. For me today’s a “day”, so I’m just focused on that and trying not to burn anything in the kitchen… and fingers crossed Santa will brings me a present 😄🎅🎁 I’ve really tried hard, and I hope I did enough to earn it!

I stick ham on as we go to bed. When we get up tomorrow it comes out to get glazed and go in the oven for a while. Tastes nearly as good as R does.
