Hey everyone,<\/p>\n
I hope you\u2019re all well. Now this blog title could refer to a lot of things at the moment but for me it\u2019s fairly specific. Do you remember my blog several weeks ago saying how I was going to be totally organised by the 15th of December? Well I failed… drastically! \ud83d\ude1e<\/p>\n
Every single present was bought before the end of November, but alas, not one has been wrapped and here we are on the 23rd!! (That\u2019ll teach me to brag on air about how I was totally on it this year). I write this blog nearly on my knees with exhaustion… honestly!!<\/p>\n
My lists have so many subcategories I gave up in the end at the supermarket this morning! I know I\u2019ve got a turkey, I\u2019ll also be doing the stuffing, pigs in blankets etc., but no Christmas pudding \ud83d\ude29\ud83d\ude29\ud83d\ude29. Everywhere has sold out but I will try again tomorrow. Listen\u2026 not a problem, we\u2019re certainly not going to starve (not judging by the bill anyway \ud83d\ude44).<\/p>\n
What time did I go to bed last night? 1.15am… what time did I get up? 2.45am!! I\u2019ve got so much going on at the moment (and I know everyone is in the same boat), but I was just lying there, brain going 100mph, so I decided to just get up and get on with things. I\u2019ve cleaned the house from top to bottom, done my food shop… which only took about four hours!!! Queues at 7am? Really?? Now it\u2019s lunchtime so I\u2019m about to have a bite to eat, a cheeky mince pie, and then hit the hay for a couple of hours!! I\u2019ve still got a mountain of wrapping to do but since I won\u2019t be seeing the majority of family until later, I might cheat and wrap just what I need to \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n
Still… my poinsettia is looking happy (see photo above). It just wouldn\u2019t be Christmas without one! I love them and I remember one year mine lasting until Easter. I was very impressed (so was Richard Jackson \ud83d\ude03).<\/p>\n
Ah well, there\u2019s always next year… maybe I\u2019ll be more organised (don\u2019t hold your breath)!!<\/p>\n
All that remains for me is to wish you all a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas, and let\u2019s pray that 2021 is kinder to us all!! I’m not usually a fan of New Year but I think a lot of us will be pleased to get 2020 out of the way!!<\/p>\n
Sending love and Christmas hugs.<\/p>\n
Take care and stay safe everyone,<\/p>\n
