To be devastated that he's missed the Christmas shopping deadline

[tilypu]

I only asked for one thing. The deadline passed last weekend and it turns out he hasn't even bloody ordered it.

Christmas is ruined! He's suggesting he fashion one out of tin foil instead. He thinks he'll be able to fasten it together with the Tiffany paperclip he got me a few years ago. To be fair, he created a surprisingly good mock up of a Jackson Pollock painting, although I think Crispín and Tabitha suspect it's not genuine.

I'm utterly discombobulated.

Op darling - have you seen the papers today? I don’t usually read such a common little rag but Mabel the kitchen maid had a copy. Shocking…

It looks ironed, is it?

Darling the butler irons every paper we read - even common rags

There is nothing like giving the news the VIP treatment.

We will be your army, you won't be alone with this..you can call us your cabbagettes

Remember and do plenty of update or we will need to constantly tag you

Oh my! I had not heard a single peep. I wonder who the perpetrator could possibly be? I do hope that she pulls through. I'm surprised that Naomi had not heard - that's always the quickest way to get the local gossip. The help are such a reliable source of news, don't you find?

It's a Christmas miracle! A gift has appeared under the tree this very morning, and it's suspiciously cabbage shaped.

My darling Earl tilypu, I don't know how he did it, but Christmas is saved!
