Breakfast.
I got back into that warm bed and fell back to sleep.
Hubby dropped son off at his boxing lesson.
I finally surfaced after he came back from it!
On goes the Christmas themed dress.
 Nice strong coffee to wake up even more!
Now out of the house..
Then out to see my friends, Joe and Tracy at Omega
I gets a mystery bag for £10 as my youngest son like all the nice smelling incenses and candles.
Wished them all a Happy Christmas and a better 2021!
Then off to get some meat for a few weeks.
We gets back home.

No ideas for our Christmas Cake this year.
Just a blank space at the moment..
Or as Taylor Swift once sang....
Watched Season 15 Hell's Kitchen to when the black jackets get handed out.
Over the fortnight I have off,
I am going to get more interesting facemasks made.....
Just need to find the time to wrap up the Christmas presents.....
The clock is ticking down....
 Mince pies need making!
&
Oh yes, need to buy the trifle mix too...
Must remember not to add fruit to the jelly, as I did last year, and the jelly wouldn't set.
The jelly had to be set in the freezer instead!
Sleep Tea time! 
Hopefully will have a lie-in tomorrow....
