 Hi Everyone
No New Years Eve fireworks here as its a Total Fire Ban day.
DH is on night shift and starts work at 11pm. We’ve been invited to 2 parties but we’d have to go in 2 cars and Id be left on my own or Id have to leave early too. Im really not into late nights- Im old and boring!
DH has been shooting rabbits the last few nights and every evening he’s been cooking them in the pressure cooker, taking the meat off the bones and shredding the meat in the thermomix- about 5 rabbits a night. It takes ages, its been hot weather and he’s heating up the house even more, the house stinks like cooked rabbit and Ive asked him to stop now. We are plagued with rabbits so if he is going to shoot them he has to bury them now. I dont really like rabbit meat so he’s going to all this trouble to make rabbit pies. I dont find the taste so overpowering in the pies with a white sauce with vegetables but we have enough now!! Im also sick of the hours he is spending in the kitchen every night!
I didn’t get much done as I had DGD yesterday and last night. We haven’t made arrangements of how she is getting home yet so thats why I started this thread last night as she won’t let me sit at computer until Playschool comes on (9.30am)
I dont have a car at the moment as DH has left the accessories on in my car and flattened the battery THREE times in the last fortnight- now it won’t recharge. He doesn’t take the keys out of the ignition overnight, but he better from now on!!!
So today I plan on taking down the Christmas decorations. I would’ve waited til the weekend but we are having visitors Saturday and it seems silly to do WHB before taking down the decorations as I’ll have tinsel and fake pine needles everywhere and have to re-vacuum!
Im going to do lists for a while again as Ive been too slack lately!!
THURSDAY
To Do
Get up early and shower before DH comes to bed, feed and dress DGD, empty dw drawer, wash DHs dishes from last night  See if I have enough of anything to do load of washing, yep got a load of towels/socks/singlets/dishcloths etc, washing is done- ready to hang out
Feed chooks, collect eggs, decide what meat to have for dinner and take out off freezer, bring in mail and deal with it, pay some bills
Pack up decorations around house- dont forget wreath on front door, Take down all Christmas tree decs, take down and pack away tree, ZONE work?
Prepare dinner, feed dog, dinner, dishes, shine sink, Go for a walk
iron while watching a movie or TV show?
I doubt i’ll stay up til the new year
Hope you girls all have a Great Day and a Fun New Years Eve!! x x

Lists are good Judy. I have mine on a basic iPad app now but not sure if that is going to work out or not yet. Have fun today Medusa.
I am out with Dd12 this morning then have nothing planned other than getting mine and a friend's newsletter finished and ready to send in the morning..... I still can't believe it is the last day of the year.

One dog was picked up and I'm waiting for a cat to be picked up and maybe another dog I'm not sure yet.

Slowing down here, though to be honest that could be said of most of the day hehe. Need to cook dinner and basic evening routine. Floors vac'd so at least we look like tile again instead I'd dog hair carpet. Newsletter has also been completed and is scheduled to go in the morning, yay |

Hubby is taking Ashton to see the 9pm fireworks while I stay home and babysit the dogs.
All bedsheets are changed and on to wash, and hubby completely vacuumed the house
Picked spooky cat up from the vets and unfortunately the news isn't good, he has a tumour and we're just taking it day by day so tomorrow I'm off to get a bbq chook for dinner and il get one for the cats as well. I wish I could show you a photo he's such a stunner of a kitty. I got him a year and a bit ago from ironically a terminally ill lady who didn't want spooky to go to the rspca and I was going to rehome him but I fell in love <3

Aww thanks Judy! I do try! Iv had a little lost foxy dropped into me for scanning he is chipped but no one is answering. So he's having a sleepover yay! Although my husband is shitty he has to work tomorrow after having two weeks off and strange people are dropping by the house cranky old bugger...
I also scanned a little white fluff ball who is chipped but went home with her finders. Phew thanking my lucky stars as I think that vein in hubbys forehead would have finally exploded...
I'm about to put a load of washing in the dryer and put another load on ready to hang out tomorrow morning and I might do some more dishes...not sure yet dishes might not make it lol
