Bear is EXCITED!!!!!

Bear is very clear, he does not believe in Santa at all but he is still closely following the NORAD Santa tracking and giving me a town by town account.  I should add that he got into his onesie at 6.15pm and is aiming for a ridiculously early night.  We'll have to be up at seven, just to make it fair on the lad. 

I'm being diligent and running my washing machine on a hot, extended wash with nothing but some disinfectant in.  When the nice repair man came to check out the strange noise he said that the machine was looking like it was well maintained.  All I can say is that it's purely accidental.  However I do put on an empty wash now and again, and I always clear the fluff filter on the dryer (which currently won't turn on) and I know why I should do a lot of things I don't.  In fact, I know a lot of theory about housekeeping but the practice is wanting.  Sometimes I think I should write a book called, 'Housewifery: Theory and Lack of Practice' or 'Housekeeping: Great Fails I Have Known'. 

Tonight is a wonderful night.  Tonight I wrap the presents and get the stonking great ginormous dratted steering wheel wrapped in industrial quantities of wrapping paper and out of my way.  There will still be a certain amount of constipation by boxes, but they should be out of the way in a few days time. 

Tomorrow I'm looking forward to having a wonderful meal, a quantity of alcohol, a drift of torn wrapping paper and some space in the cupboard.  I am also looking forward to my favourite hobby on Christmas Day - checking eBay to see the 'unwanted gifts' appearing and wondering if they are genuine or not. 

Have a great Christmas!
