help me get my festive groove back

[misshardbroom]

Don't know what's the matter with me. I'm normally so Christmassy it's untrue, but this year I just can't rise to the occasion.

Lovely lovely wonderful magical nativities for the dcs, beautiful carol service yesterday, trees up, all gifts wrapped, food order safely stashed away in cupboards....

....flat as a pancake.

Doesn't help that I've got raging period pain, and the house looks like a big tinselly twinkly bombsite and I can't summon the energy to start cleaning. And I feel as though I could burst into tears at a moment's notice.

Sorry to be such a festive misery... all arse-kicking welcome this way, please form an orderly queue, no pushing and shoving at the back...

Sorry no arse-kicking from me, have some instead

Feel a bit like this my self (af came this morning TMI) so you have my sympathy

Get thee a hot water bottle, a hot drink and chill! When you're feeling better then start

thank you PurplePillows. Thinking of making a cup of tea and rearranging my crib figures for a bit. Like a sort of sacriligious Polly Pocket.

lol at the Polly Pocket . Agree - dose yourself up with nurofen, get a hot water bottle, and a hot drink (I guess it's too early for mulled wine?) and settle down in front of a christmassy video/DVD? Hope you feel better soon. I guess the other alternative is to do the nurofen, but then go out for a long brisk walk - sometimes exercise can help period pains, and you won't be looking at the house thinking you ought to be doing stuff there.
