This is my last blog pre Christmas. It would be easy to get bogged down in the weather again, but little has changed so no news there.
Despite the weather chaos Royal Mail has taken our cards, parcels have arrived ready to be wrapped - some drivers going above and beyond with working late and driving down rutted , snowy streets. Thank you to all of them.
Hopefully the turkey will arrive tomorrow, as will the veg box and then we should be set. I can guarantee that I will find some vital thing at the last minute which I will need to get but hopefully not.
This week I said good-bye to our tumble dryer. It was bought when the kids were in nappies and I haven't used it for a year to see if we could live without it. We did so a local furniture distribution charity took it. I also said goodbye to my old chest freezer - it was nearly as old as me and very inefficiant. It still worked so I had never got round to changing it. However, I now have a new A++ one that uses quarter of the electricity to cool 1.5 to 2 times the volume.
All that is left for me to do is wish you a very Merry Christmas from all of us at Gruinard.
