I’ve finished all my Christmassy things and now have no excuse for doing the bare minimum of housework.?.

There's nearly always something to do (not an excuse) that's more interesting than housework. Unless something is actually urgent minimalising one's housework angst is a jolly good idea.

Sew up!!

I could send you my N set to see up ???

We were shown a completely different method of making cardigans at craft the other day, knitted all in one piece and in fact looked very effective. I started one for Teddy to practise but did find it a tad boring as I prefer crochet (and I went wrong at first but that was lack of concentration).

When that’s done, catch up with all the dirty laundry, then do some baking.

I’m right behind you ( with my book and cup of tea.)
