Four more sleeps or is it five. Dunno. Head is groggy with a winter cold. I have taken to my bed on a Saturday afternoon whilst small person watches Stampy Cat on my laptop and my husband is out present shopping. Feels like a hangover but it isn't honestly. Although alcohol has certainly played a part in my weight gain this last year, not so much the wine as the snacks I trough down after a class of "sav" as the wine shop lady calls it. Having spent many long days at work since the summer I have concluded that you can drink too much wine if you work in HR...others will argue that no amount is too much. So as I recover from or move into a horrid cold I have declared Christmas to be alcohol free chez moi. We'll see how that pans out. See if we can make it to NYE, then maybe have some fizz.
Small person broke up from school yesterday, and is very excited and shiny. "It's the weekend now for 14 days!". He has Art Camp on Monday which he will love...they will be making wrapping paper as well as splash painting a canvas. Love that place. Christmas starts on Tuesday for me, when I shall switch off the work PC until 29th. Christmas Day will start early on 25th around 6.30am then there will be 2 hours pleading to open other gifts before we give in and drag ourselves downstairs. Hopefully Santa will have left a surprise gift under the tree...an XBOX One. I have resisted all requests for video games up until now. He's 48 for God sake, make do with the iPad! But having seen small person dancing to Just Dance on the iPad I knew what we had to do. There is talk of MineCraft which we have avoided til now, but given that small person watches videos of other people's games I guess it's not a huge leap to let him build his own world. The family farm that we inherited from him, on Hay Day, just doesn't cut it any more.
So off to sleep now for an afternoon nap, listening to Graham Norton on tinternet...I wonder what Santa is bringing me this year?
