All started off so well......
Decorated the fireplace with lovely ornaments and mini snow covered trees, hoovered round the tree and sat where I could see the only tidy bit of the house.
Dcs wanted to watch a Christmas film.....
Half an hour later and i seem to be in some kind of evil tinsel and scream filled parallel Christmas universe....
Ds1 can't get his mini tree looking just right so is having a meltdown, ds2 is whinging because his help is not appreciated and dd2 accidentally got glitter in ds1's eye so now he's screaming more.
The front room is now a shit too with bags of decorations emptied out everywhere and ds1 has left it and is playing on the iPad
I'm hiding in the kitchen. I've opened the Tesco finest Christmas cake and am having a huge piece for lunch. My perfect little bit of the house is ruined, I really had one of those "if i took a photo of this small portion of my house with the clean carpet, nice tree and fireplace and put it up then people would think I had a perfect house" moments.
Rant over !
