Weird…But In A Good Way

I’m finally getting into the christmas spirit!!!

After spending the last 3 days doing stuff with friends and for the most part behaving like a child the christmas bug has FINALLY bitten me. I’ve finished 95% of my christmas shopping (the rest will wait till next week having postponed christmas and all that) I have put a couple of decorations up (still no tree though because THAT is a waste of time this year) and I’m consuming record numbers of mince pies (will be the size of a house come January 1st).

Things are all good, nobody to argue with, nothing to worry about and I’ve decided that the best way to deal with the “real” christmas day (not the pretend one I’m having New Years Day) will be to lock myself in with a couple of bottles of Baileys (well it is christmas) a couple of books and a few DVD’s and return to civilisation Boxing Day!!

So 3 days to go and I’m refusing to stress anymore about it!!

[edit]…..Just because I’m proud of myself I’ve added this bit for the world to see…..I MADE GY BLUSH he actually went red and all coy on me…However I bet I could embarass him a whole lot more if I started talking about my 15th birthday party…mentioning no names *wink wink* cough cough Becky Shimmans!!…HA
Just remembered even more details about that night…I was the only person in the whole school to hold a birthday party that the police were called to I state AGAIN for the record…”It wasn’t my fault!!!”

Twas 4 days before christmas and all through my house….

….IS BLOODY GLITTER, STICKY TAPE AND RIBBON!!!!

Never let a six year old help wrap the presents, I will be spending my evening once he’s in bed re-wrapping 90% of what we’ve done but it was fun!!

I’ve had a hectic couple of days, was off work monday/tuesday and my manager having al the leadership skills of a rattle snake managed to muck up the rota so I ended up having today off too, now isn’t that a shame!

Spent Monday and Tuesday as planned with Cat and James respectivily, and, had a mighty nice time. Monday me and Miss Lister wandered the streets of Wolverhampton doing a lot less shopping than you might think, but falling IN LOVE with a BEAUTIFUL jacket in Passage (the mad 70′s shop in town) which once christmas is out the way I may very well go back to purchase and finding a christmas card that was as big as Catherine is!!

Tuesday was again spent in Wolverhampton but this time with Mr Clarke and lil J. After consuming copious amounts of Vanila Lattes again and destroying some toy shops….Jordan kicking a toy into a lego/playmobile display (ooops) and me setting (or at least trying to set) off all the singing teddies….and me singing random songs while trailing around shops it was time for dinner, Having Jordan in tow I wanted to avoid the high street with the grease in a box fast food outlets but was unsure where to go so James had the BRILLIANT idea of Pizza Hut…I never remember there is a Pizza Hut in town as I usually go to the one on Bentley Bridge!! So we all went consumed MUCH Pizza and garlic bread, spilt pop on the table (and James) and rubbed ice-cream into Jordans face!! Another really plesant day!

Today with a rather impromtu day off I was unsure what I was going to do with myself especially as Jordan was up half the night coughing and spluttering as the cold he’s had for what seems like most the winter has finally settled onto his chest, but the answer was on hand in the form of Al who had the brainwave of meeting me in town to swop christmas pressies so we didn’t have to do it in work!! So it was off into Wolverhampton AGAIN for a day of coffee, mince pies and PRESSIES!!! WOOO!! Took Jordan with me again and had ANOTHER lovely day.

ALTHOUGH I am totally backwards and instead of finishing my christmas shopping Monday when there was just me and Catherine, I dragged Jordan with me today!! However, It wasn’t THAT bad. He was really REALLY well behaved so father christmas will definitly be visiting this year….and next beens as he’s coming to our house New Years Day too (I’ve postponed my christmas by a week so I can celebrate with Jordan when he’s back from his Dads!!)

Now I’m back at my mothers relaxing while Jordan creates holy hell in the kitchen with my mom cooking biscuits, sausage rolls and jam tarts more flour on the floor/ceiling/work surface than in the bowl but he’s enjoying himself….think he’ll need a bath when we get home!

..I’m so tired,

Just finished my 7th day in work in a row, looking forward to a day off tomorrow!! Well a day not having to go into the shop anyway as I can hardly call it a day off now the kids have broken up for christmas and Jordan is home fron school!

Planning on going shopping tomorrow with the gorgeous Catherine and lunch with the delightful James on Tuesday, so a pleasing couple of days is to be had…And I definitly need them, went out for the works christmas party last night.

Lets just say it wasn’t what I would have normally done on a saturday night…a meal in the Imperial (which naturally I didn’t mind) BUT then it was out for drinks to *cringes and says this very quickly in the hope that people dont really realise where I was* “Yates!!” oh my god it was terrible, women aged 40+ dancing around poles trying to pull BOYS half their age, men that had the misled belief that they were SEX GODS, slilmey IDIOTS at the bar who thought me saying FUCK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE really meant PLEASE HARASS ME SOME MORE I’M ENJOYING IT REALLY and my co-workers who were actually ENJOYING themselves in there!!!

I left them as soon as I could (but not before getting our supervisor drunk, he’s a muslim and has never drank before!!!HA) and went off to the Royal London to see who I could see….luckily for me as I’d left everyone I was out with in Yates, I saw quite a few people I knew and mangaed to drink quite a few more Jack Daniels and Cokes before getting bored again and heading to the taxi rank to share a cab with a random pink haired boy who I dropped off on my way home.

Now as I’d been drinking JD since I’d left work and started on doubles while in Yates (I needed it) I should have been SO SO drunk, but rather unfortunatley I was still stone cold sober when I got home. So, as promised, I rang Mr Clarke to tell him I was home ok and ended up talking politics with him at 2 in the morning, an unusual end to a pretty mashed up night!!

Oh and I was searching the net for pressies and found this…..
