Christmas

was all done and dusted this time last year ………and i vowed never to do it again! didn’t feel like christmas cause i had no shopping to do . Was always a christmas eve type of girl when i was single (that sounds rude lol) but tried to be organised when i had lil one. Going back to being un organised….it rocks 8)

i always wait till after guy fawkes is by with before i start looking.xmas tree goes up on the 15th and down on the 5th january

I shop online and have done my main Christmas shopping in tandem with birthday present buying, this past week.
Admittedly i’ve been pulling my hair out, buying threeways and splitting my choices between the PDSA, the RSPB and John Lewis…and throwing a hissy fit with the girl on the switchboard at the PDSA when the online service wouldn’t take orders and having my my charitable affiliations well tested when she announced that they had run out of free ‘mystery gifts.’
Still. it was my own stupid fault for ordering at the tail-end of Mercury-retrograde..i’ll be lucky if I recieve half my stuff by next Whitsun and doubtless the personalised items when they DO arrive will be spelled in Lithuanian and the Hampers will be minus the cognac and we’ll still be beating down the doors of Victoria Wines at midnight on Christmas Eve and mugging hapless santa’s for their sacks as they stagger home from Toys R us , merry on 100% proof mince pies. :twisted:
