My do to do list is rather long...................getting there though.
If I have nto already bought it then we will be going without.
No way am I doing any more shopping.
We have abotu 20 for lunch so far................(sometimes we have random extras)
I hope 1000 water bombs will be enough.
We did the real "elf on a shelf" pictures this year with two of our grandchildren...............but mid December gastro struck..........(everyone is fine now).............so Sugar stood in for a few days.

....... and they are absolutely fantastic Flashie. What wonderful memories you have created with them all.
1000 water bombs? Sounds like the usual fun-filled Flashie household over the festive season. If you run out of water bombs, there is always the hose 
Love that pic of Sugar in front of the fireplace - typical golden retriever into everything!
Just wishing the lovely ladies on this thread a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
(ps - love flashie*'s dog photos).
What a beautiful morning here in the wonderful west!
It is going to be warm today so I thought I would ignore the water restrictions and fire up a huge sprinkler in the back garden 
What a display of nature - about half a dozen wattle birds diving and swooping, hanging off the tree branches and swinging and swaying whilst they have their baths. They were joined by our resident willy wag-tails trying to organise them all, a few pigeons, two or three rainbow lorikeets, two pink and greys on the back fence and some really tiny birds I have not seen before. They were all following the spray as the sprinkler oscillated 
Quietly pleased that we have no need for any further shopping today - if we have forgotten anything too bad.
Hope you are all managing to do whatever you need to - in not too much discomfort .......
How lovely to see you here Sandy
The same wishes to go to you and Frank - you are so obviously enjoying your new abode. Have a wonderful Christmas up there in the next best place to the wonderful west
Similar wishes to other lovely folks - Freddie and Mr Freddie, ooaks and her wonderful husband too and to ecar whose gentle humour and tales of his visitors are a delight to read .... not forgetting Linda whose stoicism and good humour are legend ................ a wonderful Christmas to you all 
thank you Sandy... all the best for Christmas and the New year to you and your family too
I heard you've moved somewhere warmer, hope life is treating you well
