Trying to get myself into a better mood.

Tidy kitchen (this could take some time).

Lunch. Discuss which presents are for who with Big.

Tidy living room. -well, enough to get the tree in.

Decorate living room.

Tea

Children to bed.

Open wine. Drink. Wrap presents.

Edited at 16.44 – about to go and start making tea. Beginning to get worried about Tim, who went out around 13.30 (I think) after we exchanged words, and hasn’t been heard from since 🙁

Edited again – Tim got back slightly after 5. Children now bathed, Big upstairs with Tim, Small down here transfixed by Nick Jr. Nearly wine time…

    I would re-order this. Go straight to start drinking. Put children to bed. Start wrapping while continuing to drink.
