Day 81 - It's December - so that means only one thing........It's all gonna end in tears!

Christmas shopping cart

You’d think that I worked full time, if I were to tell you that I simply don’t have enough hours in the day to achieve anything. Usually, by now I’m packed wrapped and trimmings sorted and planning the next Christmas beyond the one that hasn’t even happened yet. Anyone that works full time simply has no sympathy for the likes of me.  What do they know!!! Yes, I know I have managed to find the time to sit and deliver waffle on my blog, which is probably a waste of my time and yours! But hey…..Tis the season!

 

The reason I have no time – is because I’ve become an unpaid Taxi service. What with Nativity plays, Carol Concerts (and flaming rehearsals!!! – Not for me I must point out – I’ve not run off to join the holy crowd just yet!) – Christmas Fayre’s – Plus the usual gift shopping (which is a very physical sport of sharp elbowing, wrestling and scrums – where I usually win I must add! – Well, would you mess with a 6 foot blonde??). On top of that I am working an extra day (you needn’t sigh – you full timers!!). AND at this time of the year, you have to do a marathon run around the country, fitting in as many relatives as you can. We have a whole 12 months to see people but we try to cram everyone in, in the last month, just incase the world ends on the 31st December. When you say your goodbyes, to the relatives, you always promise that next year will be more organized and it never happens!! I must not also forget its Hubby’s birthday coming up. I know I have moaned in the past at his, shall we say ‘lack of thought’ in the gift department, but I have thought and thought about a gift for him. He is the most difficult guy to buy for – he’s not into gadgets, or DIY (because I do it all!! – tut – don’t get me started again!!) His hobbies are his job, which revolves around football. Looks like it’s yet another watch!!! – Original huh? (I hope he no longer reads this or else that’s the surprise element gone!! Ha!)

I’ve managed fame at last!! I managed to get my ugly mug on the front of the local rag last week. My family will be so proud (she says gazing skyward with her hand on her heart- sigh!!). Bet you’re wondering what for (Don’t pretend you’re not).  Have I won a prize or contributed to a local government project or maybe been found guilty of a crime? The latter is the closest. I attended an event in our local town centre last week and got caught in the act – ‘YES GUV’ I attended the local Christmas light switch on. As for getting my face on the front of the local paper – it’s more like a print from a ‘Where’s Wally?’ book. You can just make out 2 heads in the crowd, which, if you squint and hold upside down, resembles my son and me. Our town could be such a lovely place if only we could to eradicate the surplus Burberry and bling. You know what the older I get the snobbier I sound.

Well, the week after next I’m on holiday. I need to plan the week carefully as I have about 10 episodes of Heros to catch up on (I’m planning to watch whilst wrapping mountain of gifts and supping on a seriously large glass of something alcoholic!!). Plus have to fit in lunch with friends (Top of my priority list!!! – Of course!!). Also the final elbow shove to the supermarket for those all important ‘sprouts’ – oh, also not to forget hair and nail appointment. I know I’m not winning any points on the sympathy front but….. (Well, I’m not going to justify myself any longer). I deserve the odd pamper with the year I’ve had. Bring on the New Year!!!

I am, however, a little ahead on the planning front – as I’ve already booked my summer holiday!!! (Yep, I’ve still got the Anthea in me!!! – she says smoothing down her apron, after popping the mince pies in the oven – LOL)

Love as always – C – X (Christmas Kisses All Round!)
