5 days left on the advent calendar

Got my shoppin done! Or at least planned. I’m going to buy everyone a selection of things I know they’ll like, rather than go for something big and risk them not even liking it. And I’ll do it all at work, so I can get a 10% discount. And I shall call it being economical and efficient, even though others might call it stingy and lazy.

I’m getting really excited now. Philippa and I are both working Christmas Eve, but then we’re both off work til the 30th. Hannah is with Nathan’s family on Christmas Day, so Philippa and I will have lunch together then all meet up at Ted and Beryls later. Boxing Day we’re with Philippa’s folks, then Sophie and Tamara arrive on the 27th. The more I type about it, the more I think about it, and the more I think about it the more excited I get!

I’ve just watched some clips of Hannah’s drama show on her college website. I missed it on Friday because I was working, and I missed it on Saturday because I was nursing Philippa. She was really, really good! I’m so sorry I missed it and I’ve vowed to myself, and to her, that I will never miss another performance.
Now I have to buy a panto ticket for January…
