It is a numbers game where the tiles are put down either in sequence or in groups. We play almost every night for a short while. It was introduced to us by dear friends from the Netherlands. If you go on Google you will see what it looks like.<br /><br />Thank you for all your most interesting replies. I went to the supermarket this afternoon with the farmer (hell on earth in there I cantell you)- what I would have done without my list I can't imagine.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-22851475547010603912015-12-21T07:53:40.254-08:002015-12-21T07:53:40.254-08:00Well i'am definitely late to leave a comment P...Well i'am definitely late to leave a comment Pat.... I'am a list maker or... i was when i worked. I had so much on my plate at work that it really was a necessity. It was either that or pull my hair out... But since retiring with hubby our life is alot less hectic...and i don't quite feel the need to make a list anymore. Although i'am still far more likely to make a list than hubby is. Even when i see that keeping track of everything that needs doing is stressing him out he still refuses to make a list....go figure...<br /><br />We will not be celebrating much this year.... As you know we are still remodeling. Hubby believes we still need a ham and the fixings and his sister may come over....but really its still all about the house. Today i will be sanding the computer/office room. That will no doubt take today and tomorrow...Then next is the guest room.....It could go quickly...i always keep my fingers crossed.... Will you cross yours too..?? :) Hugs! debjinxxxygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349344319328467284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-25762637404069823182015-12-21T06:14:02.365-08:002015-12-21T06:14:02.365-08:00I love lists, everyday "to do" lists, ho...I love lists, everyday "to do" lists, holiday lists, Christmas lists, weekend activities lists.

The occasional "aide memoire" perhaps, on a tatty bit of paper. But rarely one of those impressively long lists I see other people referring to so avidly, with pen in hand ready to strike off each item as it goes into the trolley. <br />So no, I'm not really very well organised list-wise, and as we are eating out over the Christmas holiday, I haven't even got a whole lot of shopping to do.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-55403499410537780442015-12-20T22:23:16.066-08:002015-12-20T22:23:16.066-08:00I am an inveterate list maker too - stuck on the f...I am an inveterate list maker too - stuck on the front of my fridge.

However, I do send a very few Christmas cards to special friends. Clearly here too, I differ because I firmly believe that the cards should be posted, I think it's much nicer to receive cards through the post. Perhaps silly of me but I think it has more meaning because delivering by hand can seem as a chore rather than something meaningful. As for the Sports Personality programme, the title needs to be Sports Person because "personality" certainly doesn't describe Andy Murray.

I must bake the three batches of christmas cookies ( dough is chilling in the fridge) so we can fill the baskets to be taken to friends. I have all the mailing done - and in good time.

I used to be be like Rachel and have the list only in my head, but the problem these days is getting the list back out of my head as needed. sigh A big caveat here - I retain the right to chuck any list out the window and do whatever strikes my fancy; I refuse to be held hostage by a list if better options present themselves!

I like the idea of benefitting somehow from these uninvited mailbox contents. Ahhh, but do i remember to take the lists with me beyond the boundaries of this apartment. This depends on whether the weather required wearing a jacket or coat with pockets.<br /><br />December does call on a bit more time organization than other parts of the year. This December has been a tough one for me, with lots of stuff I did not invite cluttering up my free time.<br /><br />I am now at the stage when I think all will be well, no matter what the state of my lists.<br /><br />Please let me know, what is Rumikub?<br /><br />Getting chilly here in NYC.
