Thank God It's over!

Well it's been and gone. And all I can say is, 'What happened?' There it was, Christmas coming along like an uncontrolled train and suddenly, it was over! I was so knackered from shopping, Xmas decorating, more shopping, keeping jolly, more shopping, struggling with the crowds, more shopping and on it goes. That by the time Christmas Day came, I was off with the fairies or maybe it could have been the satanic demons. Call me grump because I was Mrs Grump. I was so fed up with wrapping and cooking and smiling that I didn't have time to drink my beloved Vodka! Well, I mean, lets be realistic, Xmas without a jolly large VAT is not bloody Christmas.

Well we all enjoyed ourselves - including me - after the VAT. I can safely say that I am no longer Mrs Grump, but Mrs Knackered and Mrs Can't Wait For The Kids To Be Back At School cos they are driving me MAD! In a nice way of course.

Henry of course, behaved like a gentleman. Oh My God, I was so worried that he would embarrass me in front of my guests by being a puppy (like he is) but he was just the best. On his best behaviour. Must have read my mind. I was so proud. What a babe.

Polly and Fred (my cats) must have know Santa was on his way too, because madam was chatting to me all bloody night. meow, meow, meow ....... They sleep in my bedroom since Henry arrived, and eat in there too, Polly is too scared to eat anywhere near Henry, so being the softy that I am, she's now fed upstairs.

You (and possibly most of the nation) are breathing a sigh of relief.

Now there's just the January sales to deal with...

...and New Years Eve. Large VAT please.

Glad you got through it and well done Henry for being such a gent.

Must admit I couldn't have managed without Mr Laphraoig, Ms Cava (and I'm ashamed to admit - Mrs Bristol Cream ... well it was Christmas:-)

Happy New Year Mercedes. It's the year of the writer doncha know!

Hiya again.

I always think that 4.00 pm on Christmas day is the best time. The dishwasher loaded, snowball in hand and snuggling up with a nice book.

If anyone turns up for Christmas tea they can dammned well get it themselves, I always tell the kids.

Happy New Year Mercedes.
