Frenchie, unfortunately, the washer was not a planned thing! It died yesterday on the first weekend load, leaving me with a load of wet dirty clothes stuck in a washer which would not open. And that was after DH was clever enough to figure out what was it that kept blowing the main house fuse (we have about 30 different circuits for different areas in the house, but it went straight to the main one). But I was able to find a store that would deliver today with the full service (carrying up the stairs and taking away the old one). I'm so NOT hauling a washer up the stairs, thank you very much!
I'm with you at not being ready for the Christmas part of Christmas at all. DS14 has not idea what he wants (as always), the twins are getting a new laptop each (they need it for school, as they share one that was bought back for covid distance learning), and DBD hopefully has a list full of overpriced toys to select from. I don't know if we are doing anything for my nephews/niece, or if we are even visiting inlaws this year (DMIL is not doing well at all and doesn't handle visitors). But it will all fall together somehow, as it always does.
Hoping you had the rest of your night uninterrupted,
Dogged!
I finally got an email that the washer would be delivered between 5pm and 7pm. That means I will only get one load done today, but still beats not having a washer! Also, the robotic vacuum cleaner died - but that one is still covered by warranty (though it's annoying, we finally got into the habit of running it every night and we all know how it goes with habits once you stop doing them). Just my luck before Christmas!

This special cat deserves to be celebrated. As for "Stir up Sunday", I remember you explaining that the last year and maybe the one before. So that's the priest signalling in coded words that you can start to make your Christmas pudding, right ?
