New shops
I'm doomed. I've found a place that sells Malteasers. 2 blocks up, 1 over.
Christmas is going fairly well. We got the tree up before the rain moved in yesterday. I got a chance to cook. I'm down to two presents, and since I'm buying for Dad as well as myself, that's an accomplishment.
My nephew is angling for a car, my brother is steadfastly staying by his limits and I'm staying out of it now. The ceiling is down in the front hall but that's normal and will be finished in due time and look lovely. Dad is getting oodles of Xmas cards, and the new baby is a noisely little sucker but then again he's 7 months and all he can do to express displeasure is scream.
I leave him to his mum.
Off to finish the shopping. Thank goodness for the recession: now when I say no, I can feel virtuous.
That doesnt mean that after Xmas I might not get the tv I'm eying but then again - I can get that in January. February. March. All depends on the budget and the prices. If Santa brings me the wireless printer that can print my Apple, I'm good. (and that's cheap.)
