.... and mine.  The saying is that if one has 'flu and there is a £50.00 note across the bedroom floor that they can't even think about getting out of bed to pick it up.

A cold virus can mimic 'flu symptoms without being 'flu.  Temperature, shivering, dry throat, nose etc. without the aches.  Or finding light too much to bear.  [?bare?]

Over C.mas always seems worse as so much store is put onto that 1 day  .

I'll be glad now to get the tree and lights and decorations down.
The tree lights get on my nerves a bit now, flashing all the time..Lol
Can't wait to give the place a bloody good clean.
Dust everywhere!

You can come here once you've tackled your dust

Oh I can't cope with the lights flashing, they drive me mad. I buy ‘still' lights. Lol

On the 5th Day of Chritsmas my true love gave to me.... Five Gold Rings....tra la la la la..... and a partridge in a pear tree.

Seven days to go girls -  our decorations will stay up until after the last day - let the winter celebrations continue to brighten up these dark days!

Hurdity,
You're such a breath of fresh air.
It's lovely......😘

[littleminnie]

I've taken the cards down and cleaned the unit they were on.
The tree etc might be down New Years day.

[jillydoll]

Hahahaha, Littleminnie,
I've been looking at our cards all afternoon,
thinking shall I, or sharnt I. (Throw them away)lol
I haven't, yet, turned my back on em, and left em.
They might go tomorrow though........😉🤣🤣

[CLKD]

I don't throw many - they get cut into labels ....... I bought some small lights with a battery that fit into an empty whisky bottle, I will get several to stand on window ledges .......

[littleminnie]

I don't  use the cards but I do recycle them.

[CLKD]

I have put a lot onto our home composting heap this year, I will cut up for labels and re-cycle the rest with the newspapers. 

Sent 5 New Year cards this morning.

[Hurdity]

I've sorted out all the wrapping paper that I can reuse and cut it into suitable squares, and made enough labels to last about 10 years!!! However I have to provide husband and most offspring with labels and wrapping paper so that's sorted! Greenery is looking a bit dry and has another 6 days or so to go, but I keep watering the Christmas tree.    Everything is still looking very festive and I love it especially when it gets dark like it is now with all the coloured fairy lights. We don't do flashing - ours are all vintage ones as are most of our decs - been going for years! It all looks so bare come 6th Jan... We still have some turkey left!

Not sure what's happening next year but if we are cooking we have vowed not to get a turkey again !
We had four meals plus two mini meals off it christmas day, daughter took about a quarter home for boxing day. We then had turkey and bubble and squeak wednesday, turkey a la king on toast thursday , turkey curry friday , turkey, chips and peas saturday. Hurray tonight we've had stew !
Guess the moral is not to buy too big a turkey but i always feel that you need a reasonable sized one or else you get a runt that doesn't cook as well.

We've just finished ours. Turkey soupy stew and dumplings made from the carcase. Delicious. There were 6 meat eaters for Christmas Day and Boxing Day and we chose a 6.5kg free range turkey which seems about the right size.
