…all i want for christmas is a complete makeover possibly a few \u00c2\u00a31000 in the bank and a holiday somewhere that seems a million miles away!! BUT if thats too much to ask, a place to go christmas day would be nice!!<\/p>\n

Its 2 1\/2 weeks till christmas and I still dont know what I’m doing!!! It was bought sharply into focus again this afternoon at Jordans’ christmas play, all the parents were there discussing their plans and I had no idea what I am doing!! SHIT, better get something sorted else I can see myself spending the day alone in bed\/climbing the walls\/crying into my microwave turkey dinner and generally feeling like its the end of the world! Hmmm!<\/p>\n

I think I’ve single handedly started a flu epidemic in my sons school, woke up this morning feeling awful again but realised that the symptoms had shifted from the hangover variety to the more heady cold like variety. My head hurts, my neck is sore, my throat hurts my sinuses are blocked and i feel like shit. I’ve been drinking Lemsip, eating soothers and sleeping on my moms’ sofa untill I woke witha shock and realised it was time to go to the school to watch “The Hoity Toity Angels” our schools twist on the nativity play. I’m sorry to all the parents\/teachers\/children that came into contact with the shivery\/coughing\/generally ill me, dont blame me if you’ve caught this cold, Blame James it’s all his fault as I’m sure thats where I got it from in the first place!!<\/p>\n

Back to work tomorrow, I really dont feel up to it right now, but this close to Christmas I cant afford the time off so I’ll just go infect the rest of the city of Wolverhampton with my whining and piss my manager off by coughing\/sneezing on the customers, GOD i hate being ill, worse I HATE being single and ill, no one to rub my back, make me a hot chocolate or just help put the little one to bed, BAH oh well time to go complain some more at my mom at the very least i can con her into making me a cup of tea!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
