HAS NOW GIVEN UP AND FEELS COMORTABLE

I decided to try and get an upgrade and to do so I dressed a bit smartish but I could not keep up the pretence. My feet was talking to me and 'cussing' me really. I opted for comfort so I am now in my tracky bottoms and flip floppies or 'crocks' as Lucas refers to them. Give me comfort anytime.

I had a bit of a panic earlier on because the luggage was heavyyyyyy. Skye was a great help. Yes she took back some of my stuff. Not much but enough to leave me with at least 2 kg over. When I booked in I had no trouble at all. A very nice man and then I forgot to ask for the object of my desire today...a upgrade. So no upgrade for me today. I don't feel too bad though - I am fine with the troops. Hence the tracky bottoms and ff's.

So yes my travels begins now. Whoooopeeeee Nigel here I come!!!!!!!

PRESSIES !!!!!!!

I was getting so excited because XMAS for me means one thing ...presents...not that I forget that it means so much more to others.

Well this year it was a bit different for us. We could not spend too much on each other because we now own a home and that changes the face of our finances...anyway..spending is carefully considered.

I spent a lot of time thinking about this and decided some time before the season that I would socialise the idea in my home that "we are not buying presents". I know I know maybe not the best thing to do when you like getting pressies as much as I do.

So with that in mind I was not spending a lot of time looking for a presents for the honey ..it is always so bloody hard anyway....So I was particularly happy to go along with the idea of not getting presents. So off I went one Saturday to check out the sales and there before me stood the ideal present for the honey...of course I bought the thing...This was done without much thinking just knowing that he would like it...funny that.

I explained it away by telling myself that the honey deserves a presents after all it is his xmas...

When I took him to his presents...it was way to big to wrap or bring to him...he sounded really very excited. Back in the house I made myself comfortable to watch some xmas tv...while I sat there the honey brings out a wrapped presents...big but wrappable...half of the box wrapped in last years wrapping paper and the other half wrapped in the year before wrapping paper...the tape was blue!!!! Anyway as I opened it ...to glad to be worried about the wrapping.....and inside was a SEWING MACHINE...aparently I menioned it once during this year and now I have it...

I am glad to have a sewing machine and the honey told me I could exchange it if I wanted to...something I do not do...exchanging presents...in my mind it is a bit blah!!!! anyway I admit I get a lot more pleasure when I receive many little presents than one big present...so this realisation lead me to think about how best to change that for next year...because I just love the pleasure I associate with xmas pressie time...

So next year I promise that I will socialise the idea of spening only a small amount of money and also that we should get several small pressies that mean something...maybe that will work...WHY DO I THINK IT WILL WORK? i have a child like hope  :))

I KNOWWWWW!!!!
