Maybe I'll just put up the cards now and leave the boxes until morning.Hmm - the clock that plays carols - on the hour every hour - is driving me crazy already!
I also had to remove ornaments & vases from the porch window sills, they are wrapped in bubble wrap in a box by the front door now. Guess I'd better put them in the sun lounge out of the way, or, Son can do that.
He also found our fibre optic tree, he put that in the living room. He's a good Son.

Re: Well - that was fun ... not!
Oh dear ST
almost as bad as my experience last night...The phone rang
..I was moving the receiver to the warm sitting room to chat when
..phone cord got tangled in my flipflp
..I pulled out a wire in the phone line connection so lost my connection to telephone/internet/tv
Took ages to find the fault and repair while kneeling in the semi dark and freezing hall.

There I was, hair coiffed, beaded gown, sipping champagne, lost in conversation, when a rotting board collapsed under me sending me tumbling into the bay.
A very chivalrous gentleman sacrificed his tuxedo when he jumped in right after me. A shame though as the water was only hip deep, and the only reason I might have drowned would have been from laughing so hard.
