Hello my loves.

I am heading out today for lunch and a few before I get set to head back to the Emerald Isle yet again this week.
 
I've reached that always joyous point of pre-Christmas where I've finished all my shopping, feel I can exhale and relax a little, only to get hit by my mother asking me to finish hers. And it's all so specific that she won't be happy whatever I get. This year (so far) it's 'four mugs. Grey. But not TOO grey', and 'a dressing gown. Size 10 or 12, depending on the shop. Not a thick one, but not thin, either. Not a boring colour'. I'm asked 'because you work in town a few days a week anyway'. Yes, and because I work in town, I know that it's fucking horrible in there now, and either shop online, or make sure I'm done before December.
 
Just about to walk past this, PRAY FOR ZENNY

Even tho that mask has completely covered their face, you somehow know that they're an absolute arsepiece.
 
I have critter(s) in my loft again. It/they woke me up with the scrabbling in the ceiling at 4.29am. Are they bred with a genetic memory of how to get in?! I've been out and can see that they've re-dug the hole of previous years, a hole that over the years has had numerous packs of wire wool shoved down and over 20kg of gravel poured down it plus poisons galore. Tempted to use a concrete and gravel mix this year. Furry little bastards.

I finish mine every year by November 30th so I can reach this zen and yes, something like this always happens to me too. It’s very annoying.

Though I’m behind this year. And it’s troubling me.
 
Half way through my shopping. Although I know what I'm getting. Etsy has been my friend this year.
 
I am all done and everything has been dropped off to be wrapped which I will pick up when we all come over to Scotland a few days before Christmas. We are heading to the Christmas markets in Edinburgh today followed by lunch and drinks in The Dome so may pick up some festive tat since it is the season.
 
I'm ahead of the game but I'm not done. That said, I'd done the 5 or 6 cards I still send by this time last year; got too wrapped up in work stuff last week and didn't get it done.
 
I stopped last year, but feel like getting on it this year.

I might go mental and send one to Poland.
 
I send two. Mum and Mr L. And I resent his.

He still sends loads, and if we have mutual friends, he'll write them.
 
Two friends, Mr Ag, parents, Auntie, two cousins and my godmother. Chosen ones for my friends, joint for my parents, charity box for the best of them. Mr Ag gets free postage at work.
 
We just had breakfast with Santa at the local pub. There's little Dannii saying 'Santa, are you real because my friend told me it's just the mums and dads that put presents under the Christmas tree'.
 
I’m on the FUCK CARDS wagon and have been for years. Total waste of time. Still don’t understand why friends I see ALL THE TIME bother.

I hope Santa put her mind at rest!
 
Cards go to family is Sweden and Canada. I exchange cards with a small number of friends (less than a handful), partly for the fun of finding a good card. But the days of sending 20+ have been gone for a long time.

In an age of digital communication they are utterly pointless
