blogging from the future – 2014 – and depressed to see where I stopped! clearly I stopped then because we were in full rush for xmas mode and mum and dad and my niece and nephew arrived that weekend – which is always lovely 
but being nearly 2 weeks away does make the memory a bit on the hazy side! I know mum and i did lots of tidying that weekend, DH and dad did lots of DIY to try and get bathroom ready. the kids played together and tidied the bedroom for me – very nicely!
ems, BB and i tried to make DH turkish delight for xmas. we didn;t really get it to set 
not sure if he ate any!
dad took the kids iceskating for a treat, but didn’t take any photos but they loved it. we wrappe pressies, and then DH mum and dad arrived and my BIL with Z and his dad A. A houseful! we hadn’t quite got the bathroom ready, unfortunately but all was neat and tidy anyway Christmas was ON.
