Blimey Charlie, this month is flying past! With eight more work days left to the Christmas shutdown (14 days off, including paid leave, woohoo!) we’ve been head down trying to get finished with a glut of expensive tasks :-
- Getting the garden cut back (got a gardener, dontcha know what what what)
- Waiting for dental surgery (The Duchess chipped a tooth and has been eating gingerly for a week)
- Having new kitchen & hallway floors laid (messy, dust everywhere, broken lights to repair)
- Dealing with flooding in The Duchess’ en suite (The Duchess in her element corralling tradies to get vanity and gib removed and discover source of leak) – likely to turn into a refurb of the room.
- Christmas shopping (I’ve bought a box of After Eights, so that’s the food sorted)
- Spending Airpoints at Mitre 10 to get our Christmas and New Year projects ready to go – garage storage shelving and 50 litres of fence paint (with 2 brushes).
Through this I’ve also been getting my blood sugar levels monitored, which are thankfully looking healthy, so following up with a more detailed consult to check all is well.
At least this year I’ve not been grinding my teeth every time Maria Carey gets piped over the supermarket tannoy; with somewhere to go for Christmas Dinner (thanks Chris & Holly!) it should be a less Grinchy Christmas this year…
