Time to put the roller blades on and fly like the wind

This week has been so hetic and somehow I don`t think it`s going to slow down any time quick.....
The two eldest kids have finished the school term and just one more to go....
Will that mean sleep ins????
Somehow I`m finding the possibilty of that happening is nothing but a pipe dream...lol
I`ve done a fair bit of shopping this past week but it will be nothing compared to the week coming up.....
New tyres for the car in readiness for our trip the following week...
As long as everything goes according to plan....
I have my eldest boys birthday coming up also....I can`t believe he`ll be turning 15....
Also there will be the arrival of number 7 grandchild....
And finally last minute shopping for anyone I have forgotten to buy for....
Believe me there is always one that you miss....
So looks like the days ahead will all be blending into one....
Ah the joys of Christmas, don`t you just love it....
lol....
Now to find those roller blades.....

    Evening Mandy, good to see you are keeping out of trouble and finding plenty to do in the shops.
    I can already feel the joy you will bring to others with your thoughtfulness.
    Have you run out of money yet?
    I feel guilty. No presents under the tree at this stage however I do have the tree set up for the first time since 2004

    Sounds like Christmas is coming to you via a bulldozer. I think you sound secretly excited. Hope everything goes smoothly for you.
    Thanks for your kind comments too.

    Grandchild number 7!Exhausting just thinking about it.

    I won't ask you how much new tyres cost - I'm dreading the day mine need replacing, will be in the 000's.

    Mandy, that Christmas countdown ticker is FRIGHTENING!

    Chez....
    Yes the money tree is drying up rather quickly....
    It does give me joy to see the looks on the kids faces each year....There is just something about Christmas that gives it that special oomph..
    Hard to put into words....

    I do love it but sometimes can do without the last minute run around....It gets quite tiring ...
