Been to Tesco for beer for me and the lads. We're now hiding in various rooms as Mrs WM wanted the kitchen to herself while she preps various food items whilst listening to festival of 9 lessons and carols.
Joopsy Dec 2018 3:16pm, 24 Dec 2018 8,875 posts	0 Joopsy No wrapping here for me as it was a 2018 resolution to.cut down on waste, I haven't wrapped a present all year. Its made it much easier just throwing everything in my wardrobe and getting them out tomorrow morning. Obviously it helps not having young kids anymore.
WA Dec 2018 3:23pm, 24 Dec 2018 5,778 posts	0 WA I've still got a few things to wrap, but not as many as usual. Hopefully it won't be too late a night. I was thinking about waste tho, because wrapping paper doesn't recycle does it? We used to burn it, but since we moved we don't have a fire.
cathrobinson Dec 2018 3:43pm, 24 Dec 2018 7,612 posts	0 cathrobinson What a fantastic idea to save on waste and the stress of wrapping! I saw a video the other day that suggested you screw the wrapping paper into a ball. If it stays in a ball, then it’s recyclable. If it springs out of shape then it’s likely to have some plastic content and therefore isn’t recyclable. Hope that helps.

The Scribbler Dec 2018 4:00pm, 24 Dec 2018 4,220 posts	0 The Scribbler We use brown paper for wrapping. It burns or recycles. And with a bit of ribbon or a stamp, looks really nice too.
Merry Lip Gloss Dec 2018 4:06pm, 24 Dec 2018 32,163 posts	0 Merry Lip Gloss Did not enter today advent but I love the sentiment behind the challenge. I feel totally relaxed but that's cause I'm going out to a hotel for Christmas lunch, I'm not so sure about the flowers I asked OH to get though so may need to pop out.
