Well my plans seem to have got awry too
Ive got all my family coming over for the day tomorrow (its not my year to host Christmas day itself, so they are all coming before Christmas)
OH cant cope with lots of people at a sit down meal and I dont want to spend all day cooking, so we are having a buffet meal - cold meats, salads, cheese and crackers.
I picked up all the meat needed for the Christmas period yesterday (turkey breast in the freezer) and got my fruit/veg order from the greengrocers. Everything else had been got from Sainsburys earlier in the week, so I was feeling pretty smug that I had got all the food and put aside today to do all the cooking and last minute cleaning.
Like Chizz, I hadnt planned for 3 extra washloads! OHs catheter came apart during the night, he woke up wringing wet and I had to remove his wet PJs, wash him and change all the bedding. Thank god for kylie sheets! At least today is a good drying day. I also had a newby carer who had not been before, so I had to show her where everything was kept and how the shower worked
Talk about multitasking today, though. Today at one point I had washing on the line, more in the washing machine, pigs in blankets cooking in the oven, rice for the rice salad on the hob, peas and sweetcorn in the microwave and the dishwasher on too. When something started dinging I couldnt work out which thing was finished and needed attention!
OK, Ive finished lunch - back for round 3!!
