I've shopped until I dropped the last two days, especially yesterday when I bought two shirts and a t-shirt and some shoes in town, then a skirt and two books online! All the clothes that I bought were reduced though, so I made a good saving. I might ask Mum if she wants to give me a couple of the things for Christmas, which will save her shopping around and ease my cashflow problems. I don't owe anybody anything, but I don't get a lot to live on in the way of disability benefits, so it takes careful management.
Flash has got the hump with me because I'm sitting on the computer chair and he wants to get on it as it's his favourite place to sleep at the moment. He'll just have to wait! He can be a very bossy little article! He always wants the most comfy seat in the house! He's got one of his pillows and a folded up blanket on the sofa behind me, but that's not good enough for him!
The ice dispenser on our fridge-freezer is playing up, so I expect I'll be up to my elbows in ice clearing out the ice reservoir this morning, to make sure there's no ice blocking it. I'll bag the ice and then if the thing still isn't working I'll have some ice to be going on with. It's only two years old so it shouldn't be packing up yet, and I'm sure Dad has it under warranty, but it's still a pain.
I'm also going to write my Christmas cards today I think. I feel like I really should go into town and buy some more presents, but I don't fancy the crowds or the rain, so I'm going to get on with the cards instead. I think I have them all bought, and I have chocolate bars and bookmark calendars to wrap with the gift cards. I just need the gift cards, sweets for Dad to go with the 'filofax' diary insert he wanted, something for Mum, and little presents for my two friends. Apart from the boys bits and bobs that is. It sounds a lot, but it isn't really. So, computer, ice clearing, Christmas cards, more computer, that's my plan for the day, and I'd better get on with it. TTFN!
