Boxing Day

Welcome to our Boxing Day 🎁

We actually had a lie-in \o/

Time for some Breakfast and Brew.

Then we got dressed.

I had some housework to get on with.

Hubby went out for a walk and got the newspaper on the way back.

Coffee time when he got back!

Got piles of washing to do.

Looking like a Chinese Laundry!

Washing machine went on again.

The Christmas Decorations are coming down tomorrow as had a enough!

Turkey roll time!

I will make a soup with the rest of the Turkey tomorrow.

Then it was back to tidying up the house.

As Friday, we are having some things come back from my late Father-in-law's house and we got to find room for it!

After Friday, it's just my pictures and ornaments got to come back! 

For tea we are having some nice cheese on crackers.

Hubby's dad didn't have a good night's sleep on the sofa.

I said hello to Sexy Beast, while hubby made to Bacon Sandwiches for all of us..

 After we ate breakfast.

Time to bring along the great CD to listen to while we drop off hubby's dad.

 

I go off to do my job for a few hours.
