Christmas is almost upon us, just two more sleeps! And I’m almost ready. All the presents are purchased and wrapped, a very long list has been written ready to take grocery shopping tomorrow (I don’t do the food shop earlier than that because the Blokes Wot Live Here would eat it all) and I have […]
Well quite a lot this week, actually. For starters I’ve dragged out all the Christmas decorations, no mean feat in itself. There are now far too many lots of boxes to get down from the top shelf of the cupboard. It’s taken YEARS of collecting to get them all but the payoff means our house is well […]
Congratulate me, will you? Because this moment deserves a special mention. *impressive drum roll* I HAVE OFFICIALLY STARTED CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!! *mass applause* I’m feeling very self-righteous about my efforts – this is huge news for me, especially as it’s only early November! With special thanks to my Partner In Crime, today saw us hit the […]

The table will be laden with lots of yummy Christmas food, our glasses will be full and afterward, there will be much relaxing on numerous couches positioned in […]

We all seem to have this kind of ‘stuff’ in our lives, don’t we? Especially in December. My mind is working in bullet point form today so here a few thoughts about some of […]
“Can you believe it? Christmas will be here in less than 6 weeks!” I overheard Chirpy Blonde Chick gleefully impart this little gem to Mini Skirt Mum while grocery shopping the other day. MSM’s reaction was to smile serenely as she caressed the heads of her two perfectly behaved toddlers. “Oh, I know!” she gloated. ” I only have one more present […]
After all the planning and organising, Christmas is over for another year, can you believe it? Talk about blink and you’d miss it. Mountains of wrapping paper that took me AGES to wrap around a multitude of presents has finally found its way to the recycling bin, joining the *ahem* slightly larger than usual number of empty bottles and aluminum cans.
