In need of a stiff drink....everything is conspiring against my Christmas preparations!

Or there are gremlins in the house..... Or a combination of the two???? I have a DD who, with malaise and dog-tiredness from an over-long Autumn Term, has made our home Gremlin-central this week (it was over Christmas that the little critters struck and made mayhem wasn't it?). And we had a total power failure which left us without any electricity but lighting for 24 hours. And now DS is off school with a nasty tummy bug...

Sweet FA preparation for Christmas achieved this week....I'm in danger of entering the realms of Ebenezer Scrooge and may yet take up Bah Humbug as my mantra for the week .

Oh dear are you hosting for Christmas Day ? we gave also been struck with mysterious bug. The more I do the more I seem to do. Supposed to be hosting 2 parties this week and DH keeps inviting more people to 'drop in'.
Hope things get sorted for you .

not really hosting but still ;-(! I haven't even finished the Christmas cards.....way behind schedule and it all started so well back in September!

Thanks for your words of encouragement OffallyGOod!

Tummy bug in this house too. High temps and projectile vomiting. Not pretty. Oh well , no work or school for two weeks. Yay!

Oh dear VictoryGirl I empathise.....our second one's gone down with it...the only positive thing I would say is that at least everyone should be better in time for Christmas Day...
