I done my overseas cards Friday but that's about it so far. Posting stuff in the UK is becoming more and more complex, its not just weight but size so in other words a very large thin parcel is cheaper to send than a little fat parcel or is that the other way around either way its a nightmare and not sure auntie will appreciate her ironed box of chocolates :-S ;-)

Well I haven't started on my cards yet and still have several pressies to buy, then it will be a case of getting food in and such and cleaning up the house to be decorated. O.h. has time off mid December but will be more help than hindrance, he's already arranged one day out for us both and will expect me to fit in with him all week when normally he would be on late shift and I could get lots done. Then he has decided to work lots of overtime before Christmas so will need pack up food and extra washing of work stuff and so on, and when he finishes on C.Eve lunchtime, he will come home and sit down and do nowt! Added to which he will probably want the car to use for work so I will be tied to only having it when he's here and to fit in with him again! Grrrrrr!

Liz, I am sure you will forgive me if you don't get the calendar until January!

Well December crept up on me, I was in shorts a month ago :-) Luckily no summer duvets so just dragged winter ones out and used the covers.
Cushions on the patio furniture ..oh yeah I closed our patio in.
Have air con so no worries about fans (although we do have them but haven´t found them since I moved)
Now if I went in my loft I would be in my upstairs flat.
So no hardship here until I read posting dates and even then I grinned as I don´t do cards as such and then remembered I know have family that expect ........YIKES when is the last posting date ???? :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
