I looked at my leave sheet and after my charity cycle I only have 3 days leave left to take me through till April 2012. What with us having a late holiday this year it feels like its not very evenly spread.
The weather is turning and as much as I love the winter the shortening days and the list of winter jobs to do gets longer.
1. dogs need their pre winter trim
2. get the chimney's swept.
3 reblacken the fire
4. order a half trailer of split logs
5 get the doors painted and fitted.
6. get the grass cut,
7. empty the lawnmower for the winter
8. weed
9. plant spring bulbs
10. cover the garden furniture
11. trim the conifers (now the sap is not rising)
12. finally finish decorating the dining room prior to Christmas.
13 finish the hallway once the doors have been done.
14. bake Christmas cakes
15.....everything else that needs doing that I can no longer think of.
Christmas shopping is nearly finished, I just need to start wrapping it all. I like to have all of the shopping done and wrapped by December. While we were on holiday, I wrapped up all of the presents my mother in law has bought for people. (MIL likes to be organised as well.)
I wish I was still on holiday :(
