Does your granny always tell ya

Well here is it three days to Christmas. It has come so fast this year but the last few days have gone so slow, well they have for me personally. I remember when I was younger I used to wish that the last few days leading up to Christmas would rush by and then on the actually day for things to slow down and go back to normally speed *lol* The deluded mind of a youngsta eh?!!
Well this week I've probably not done as much as I should of done. I've just felt so lazy and have been having a little trouble motivating myself work wise but I've had enough of everything else to do in the week to keep me very occupied.

Monday I was still a little delicate from Saturday night which I couldn't quite believe but that was the case. It was a long day for me and I did feel better by bed time but two days to recover is hard. I actually think it was the bacardi because it's not my drink and not something I'd buy in general so my body couldn't cope with it. I think even if I'd only had a mouthful of it I would still have felt a little worse for ware the next day.

What is it with wrapping presents? I mean why does it take soooo long? I keep sitting down to do some wrapping and might be sat there for an hour and I've only done about 4. It's just so time consuming and I am glad I don't have children otherwise it might take 6 months to wrap all my Christmas gifts *lol*. I have almost wrapped them all, well I have one more for my dad. I got my brother a bottle of vodka and I have some of the bottle gift bags so I am just going to put that in one of them and selotape the top. My other brother I got two boxes of stella because there is a good offer on at Asda (I also got two for me hehe) and I don't know if I am going to wrap them because it will need loads and I don't know if I have that much left. I will wait until my dad has wrapped his gifts and then see what I can do. That's it then. I will be so glad to have done all my wrapping because it's driving me round the bend.

The weather is doing my head in, it's way too cold for me. I am not used to it because I do tend to avoid leaving the house as much as I can in this weather but this time I've been out so much so I will probably get used to it although I don't know if I will get over my fear of ice. I have a really crazy fear of falling on ice and badly hurting myself. If everyone had that fear they would never ever leave the house. I do sometimes refuse to leave the house, it does depends on how bad it is though. I will go out if it's just frost but of course can't wear trainers because they are just super slippy. But if it is totally iced over I can't do it. I remember once I badly had to go out and it took me about an hour to pluck up the courage to go out and then about 20 minutes to get from the front door to the car and not because the door is far from the house, it was because I am so petrified of falling and breaking something.

I must admit I am really looking forward to going to the Windmill on Christmas Day. It is going to be so amazing not to have to do any cooking on Christmas Day. I can just get up and unwrap my gifts and just have a good time and not have to worry about cooking or cleaning up. I can just chill out and spend a couple of hours getting ready and then go up to the Windmill. I have even bought a new dress especially for Christmas Day and yeah I got another dress. I hadn't worn one in many many years and within a month I have bought two. How crazy is that?!! The dress is really nice and I am sure will go nice on Christmas day.

Christmas morning I have gotten myself a bottle of Bucks Fizz for breakfast. I will be sharing it with my dad and will probably have chocolate with it or something Christmassy like some chocolate log (my fave). Then I will have a long bath and then spend a couple of hours getting ready. We booked a taxi a couple of weeks ago to pick us up at 1:30 and we are going to the Windmill. We have booked into the 2:30pm time slot for the meal. It's 6 courses so I am going to be so full I might even explode so if you don't hear from me you know what has happened. I know we can space it out so I am going to do that but with more than me and my being their it might be awkward because my niece can be a little spolit nightmare and will want them one after another so I might end up getting them sooner than I want. The pub closes at 6pm and I am staying till then as long as the Quiz machine is on because I need to play that as much as I can.

When I get home I don't know what I am going to do yet because it depends on what state I am in *lol*. Knowing me I will come home and stay up but it all depends on how I feel I guess.
Anyway that's it for now :o)
