Roll on Next Year! (Hic!)

Well 5 days to go and already better stuffed than the proverbial Turkey, (hopefully no Turkey left by 'New Years Day!) I blame the gas cooker and the very very tempting smells that constantly emit from it every where you go.

Been consuming the kilograms like crazy lately (or is it pounds?) Either way there seems more of me than last week, a bonus for er' indoors as she has more to cuddle now and vicer-versa. Personally I blame those who see Xmas as a binge time of year, they seem to forget the rest of the year exists (possibly due to a long hangover that finally clears 2 weeks before the next Xmas binge) Sweeping everyone before them and filling us up with food and drink, whilst emptying our pockets in fit of... 'We can throw a better do' than them anyday'. Blame the 'Advertisers' as well, the temptation to fill their pockets is high on our list of priorities as well it seems.

Can you dear reader, honestly say you haven't brought a single item you will never use in a month of Sundays? Consumed 2 weeks food and drink in the last week? Wondered where you left your head the next morning? Already saving for January Fuel bills etc as its been spent already? Planned how to avoid the 'Holiday 2008' programs on TV. I can admit to a couple of these, how about you?

Pressies, Where are they? Near enough impossible to hide 'Scamp' and 'Ralphies' their xmas bones etc have had to be moved several times now, the others? Your guess could be as good as mine, as one skillfully forgets all the hiding places the rest of the household use at this time of year, whilst they skillfully try to remember which hiding places you know and those you don't, this can be a quite amusing week and a bit on this front alone.

How about those 'friends'? You know the ones you only see at Xmas and vanish into the woodwork the rest of the year. Or the extra pressies one ends up buying because of the pressies received from the invisible 'Once a year friends'. These seem to (no matter how careful you are) double your pressie expenses overnight!

Got to go, the ovens calling me again, also the bottle of 'Tawny Port' is pleading to be opened (hic). Still has Jober has a Sudge at present.

A, B, Catch you later dear reader.
