This mob...

 Sneaked up quickly didn't it? 

I know , it's scary ...I reckon Sweet and Cinds have altered the calendar !   

Just wait till Sweet hits fifty Baz   

That should calm her down a bit  

(still dubious   )

Awwww shoot!  I've got one more week 'til I start getting arsey 

Or......arsey-er 

I haven't got any presents yet nor a tree 

I've finished all my present shopping. Not being smug, just factual. I haven't thought about food shopping though, I'm sure we'll all find something to eat on the day. 

Nor me 

I asked my daughter to write me a list of what she wants, I wish I hadn't now 

It's such a nice feeling when you've got everything

I spend about 15 hours a week in hospital with one of my kids, all I did was click a mouse for 3 weeks and then go home and retrieve the deliveries from my neighbours. It's the most organised I've ever been, and I've actually put the 'thought that counts' in to practice. It's remarkable what boredom can make you do, organisation wise....it even brought me back to posting in here.

Heh heh you gonna be busy 

Skint 

I was being quite smug having wrapped a few presents until I realised what the date was

Apart from myself there is another ancient, knackered old boiler here in Arcati Towers.  A week today we will attempt to coax it into life.  We will probably follow this by fetching the equally decrepit radiators a few well aimed wallops in the hope that they can be encouraged to show a hint of warmth.

If not, we will be down to striding around the estate, chain-saw at the ready, looking for victims of ash dieback to fell.

I'm not doing any wrapping  I got amazon, John Lewis and Selfridges to wrap most of the stuff...everything else in gift bags, 6 medium for £1 and 4 large for £1 from the £1 shop 

I love wrapping pressies, paper, bows and curly strands

 bah humbug
