I refuse to go out Christmas Eve apart from to the corner shop! I bought the meat, stuffing and veg last week and it all went in the freezer.

I can't go anywhere until I get dressed, I'm so lazy!
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

I would hate to have to go shopping today!

Pity my missus, she is working till 18:00 at White Rose in Leeds and it'll be chaos!!!

We were at the butchers at 7.15 this morning and then the local town for 9am for last minute bits and it wasn't too bad. Just been wrapping stuff and cleaning the house ready for parents to arrive.

I'll be up and dressed at my usual time in the morning. Tonight is spent going to hubby's ex brother in laws (a tradition for many years) so at least we can relax then.

You can't beat a good 'ol tradition, really gets me feeling festive.

Met my g/f after she finished work and took her pressies to her house, her Mum and Dad put on a nice little spread of snacky foods and we had a pleasant hour sat chatting and eating. The missus and I then cuddled up in front of the TV for an hour before I had to get the first of 2 buses to go home [:(]

Lol I am struggling to get in the mood as well to be honest. Got to be up at 05:00 tomorrow for work [:(]

I am focussing on New Years Day as having 'Xmas' meal then with the missus.

Looking forward to 2013 though, it's the final year of my IVA and my good lady finishes paying her debts off too.

I can then look at getting another job where I do not have to work a 60 hour week to pay my bills and have a life outside of work!!! [:D]

I'm struggling to get into the festive spirit - I get so stressed at the thought of spending Christmas Day with our mothers that I feel ill! It's the same every year - I work myself up into a state and it's not usually as bad as I expect!

I have been totally stressed out today and still haven't finished doing everything! Had a good night with family though.

Afraid my day tomorrow will be as bad as I expect. Looking forward to work on Boxing Day.

Good morning and Merry Christmas to you all. I am just about to get ready for work... only doing the morning thank goodness, then it is back home to open pressies with hubby and step-son. We are going to my sister's house for Christmas lunch, then a wonderful chilling afternoon, early evening before heading back home.
