Do you have any large cardboard boxes?
Bung it all in boxes, seal with packing tape and label "china" "kitchen goods" "tools" etc or other boring labels.

Are they allowed in your bedroom? Put the boxes in there.

Can they ( the presents, not the grandchildren 🀣) go up in the loft for the weekend?
Fingers crossed 🀞

I’m feeling very smug, or I was, gifts all wrapped, birthday gifts all wrapped.

Christmas cards all written, stamps on envelopes, just about to go and post them and realised that what I thought were 2nd class post stamps are actually 2p stamps!
I now have to go to the Post office and buy some more stamps, not sure where the 2p stamps came from either.
Just some baking to do on Friday to take down to the South West on Sunday and I can relax.

Oh Kitty, do you have good neighbours who could come to the rescue?
It's something that we have done in the past.
Best of luck, and Breathe......

Could you hide them in the car?

Black bin bags. Garage. Came to mind.

But risky!

Eek! Do tell us when you've worked out a solution!

So, I am quite ahead of myself this year having written, posted and delivered my cards, sorted the food and done most of the shopping.

All the shopping is on the dining table waiting to be wrapped up this weekend.

Except, DD3 has just asked us to have their 3 children on Saturday. Our dining room is in the middle of the house and not isolate-able (is that a word?) And the children always play hide and seek here going in the back of the wardrobes, under the stairs......

I think I need a lie down!!!!
