Your posts always leave me with a smile on my face Ms. Dunnit! You can take a simple shopping expedition and turn it into such a fun little bit of writing - of course whenever a Mr. is put into that mix it does add a bit of humor to the proper eye. My SIL has a sign in her craft room "Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden". Best thing she owns (besides my mother's furs!!!)Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411306287771108362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-25323569451146303572010-12-14T01:40:21.219+00:002010-12-14T01:40:21.219+00:00I have not wrote a card for yule yet!

I had to venture into Swindon at the weekend as H had a half day and wanted to shop for her friends so spent 3 hrs looking for 2 presents (exactly the same so that counts as one in my books). I'm also with you on the cards I still like to receive them and give, but have noticed our list to send out too is getting smaller,Darren is quite ruthless and if you didn't send us one last year you don't get one this year!!

I think I'm ok on the present front, and the cards are under control, but the house looks like a bomb site and I have no clue where I have put the decorations... not that the maniac cat allows for a tree, but we do have other bits of tat and tinsel to spread around. It would be nice to put sparkly things on nice clean shelves etc rather than shoving them on top of the dust, but we shall have to see if I manage to find time to wave a duster and push a hoover around.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916154158052227695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-12408031747009695732010-12-12T21:37:39.524+00:002010-12-12T21:37:39.524+00:00Well I retired nearly a year ago and was sure I wo...Well I retired nearly a year ago and was sure I would be more organised this Christmas. Who was I kidding - still got pressies to buy, cards to finish and that is without travelling 150 miles to bring MIL down to spend a week with us over Christmas. Oh-hum. We will all get there in the end and what we don't do , no one will notice except us anyway - so just enjoy the season. <br />x TriciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-31297245568670608152010-12-12T21:03:18.264+00:002010-12-12T21:03:18.264+00:00Hi hun

I hate shopping and will put it off as long as possible - should really do it all on the Internet and save myself the grief. Cards not written yet either - still making them :( Next year I vow I will be more organised.

Did get a few pressies yesterday, much of what's left can be done as cash for the teenagers in the family, who prefer that to a bad choice! So I think I may be winning....Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10690233874810368197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-61619367716332539512010-12-12T19:54:02.294+00:002010-12-12T19:54:02.294+00:00I have not finished my tip-ins or started my cards...I have not finished my tip-ins or started my cards.
