What's all that about then? I'll tell you what it's about, it's about the fact that here in gemmak's-ville fat geese are most definitely off the menu, fat geese are way nicer waddling about on their little skinny legs and as Christmas approaches and whilst the aforementioned goose practices obsessive weight gaining activities at break neck speed, I seem to be hurtling closer and closer to the appointed day in a state of complete disarray and dishevellment!
Now in years gone by Christmas was my most adored time of year, plotted and planned for weeks, if not months, in advance, but employment in retail saw to it that corporate plotting and planning from almost Easter dictated that the excitement and festive feelings began to pall just a little over the years.
But I am of course making excuses, for this year, unlike last when I was sat here on my own while my family gathered elsewhere and PG worked all day and evening, we have managed to pull off a feat of impressive magnitude and both secured a whole four days off work, meaning of course we can this time gather with everyone else in the midlands at my sisters. That bit is fab, I can't wait, what is less fab is that so far my Chritmas planning seems to have gone completely to pot! Not so much as a single card has yet been purchased in gemmak's-ville and as for gifts, I am at a complete loss, the part of my brain that usually comes up with a list of inspired items to offer in sparkly paper has deserted me and I seem to be in a state of early panic for fear that I will never get anything even remotely sorted out in time.
None of this has been aided of course by the sudden and somewhat unexpected death of PG's car and the attendant cost of getting a new one, causing an untimely death toll to ring over our bank accounts, ok, so this is not a new phenomenon here, but the ringing has suddenly heightened to a deafeningly high decibel level this last week!
I wonder what I can make........
