Merry Christmas, All,
Thank you again most warmly for your input.
Not too bad so far. My wife, rather than going to gym/swim has gone to clean up her daughter's flat. Meanwhile, (step)daughter is out with her boyfriend's family. She'll have had two dinners by now and will have the third with us tonight. Poor lamb can't clean the flat though.
Over-mothering apart, wifey liked her present (and card, with poem). I received the card from our 'stock'. Thanks, Carlotta!
I thing there'll be some serious New Year resolutions this time. Meanwhile, I go with the flow, rather than against it.
All the best,
Snood
