Christmas Decorations.

Last night was a long and treacherous one which included double sided tape and blunt scissors. I was cutting out all these damn Christmas Tree Place cards for Christmas Dinner when not only was I covered in sticky tape but I also managed to cut my nail, a day before my manicure. Such a nong sometimes. Actually, always.

During my Big W expedition to buy a few extra toys for my nephews and nieces, my bag full of other Christmassy goodies broke whilst I was waiting for the check out and my arms were full of toys so I couldn’t even bend down to pick all my crap up. I nearly burst into tears as I was starving, needed to pee and my arms and shoulders were killing from carrying so much stuff. It took a few minutes of me attempting to put the toys somewhere and trying to bend down without dropping even more stuff before the guy behind me took pity on me. Seriously, a line of 10000000 people and it took a few minutes.

I must have looked amusing struggling so bad that people didn’t want to stop the entertainment. I don’t know about you, but if I see someone drop something and their hands are full I always help them out!! I walked home very slowly with my ginormous shopping bags and S asked “Did you really carry all that” and to which I replied that Christmas should be cancelled!!!

I also started to wrap presents and stick labels on them, but forgot to buy the string stuff that I was intending on using so might do that today or tomorrow if I have the time.

In other news, my niece Sophia is over from America for Christmas and I could not be more excited to see her!!! The Husband and I are headed away for a few nights after Christmas, cannot wait.

 

I didn’t buy Ashleigh-Rose a birthday present a few months back because she was in Europe so I took her to Doncaster on the weekend looking for a present. It was definitely a labor of love. She wanted Barbie’s and then decided she didn’t play with Barbie anymore, then she wanted a real puppy and I said no, then she wanted a toy which was $200 (for a toy!!!!) and I said no as Christmas was close blah blah blah. Anyway, we ended up Build A Bear, which is like Hell.

I asked the staff member how she does this all day and her answer was simple “I overdose on sugar every day” haha. Ashleigh-Rose picked out her bear and dressed it in a fishermans outfit which was actually not very cute ha. I decided to get S a little present and I got him a bear and dressed it in a NBA uniform, as he is obsessed with NBA. Pity it wasn’t purple and yellow but the Knicks are good enough. When I got home and gave it to him he actually did love it, but perhaps he is just a fantastic actor. I bought all of his Christmas presents online and only 2 have come, and they are tiny so it’s going to be a sad Christmas for him, unless they come before the 7 January which is his actual Christmas, then he wont be so sad.
