IT’S NOT even 7am when I’m woken by the kids clambering all over me. No bad thing as we need to be up soon to get them to swimming lessons

We get them out the door in good time and I drop everyone at The Peak then head for the dump to get rid of a load of plasterboard and other crap.

I’m back in time to watch the kids int he pool then we take them home via a quick shopping stop.

Catriona’s back just after lunchtime and we chat for a while before driving home.

We get the Christmas lights up outside, the tree up and then prepare for Duncan and Irene coming for dinner.
