A little bird dropped in to tell me the exciting!!! news that Xmas is going to be here, ready or not in 4 days.....You have no idea how NOT ready I am, the build, the golf, Laura away, the farm, the cottages, the sick pig, the the the.........HELP stop time now!
I must be under what some call stress, I prefer to call a 'challenge' as stress isn't good for you...Its a bit like calling 'sugar' ..'energy' if you get my drift!....Well the other night I certainly was feeling the challenge!...1.30am I leaped out of bed and ran around in a panic...wide awake, ran down the stairs and straight to the freezer to take the ham out of the freezer...you see I thought it was Xmas eve tomorrow and I hadn't cooked the ham and about 60 or so people were about to descend on us. I was let in on t he fact Xmas eve was a week away yet and 'get back to bed' was shouted from a sympathetic lump in the duvet!!!!
After this I thought I had better get a grip....but things just got worse, I was popping over to Paul Bradforths (our talented web designer/etc etc....he's our secret weapon!), well anyway I was just getting to his house, when I caught the sight of a huge cream camel, I stopped the car and leaped out..only to find it was a big bullock.....I got back in the car, shook my head in true cartoon fashion, cheeks doing that whole.Brrrr thing and tried to get nearer to xmas before I completely lost the plot!!!
Things couldn't get any worse...so I thought... But when at 1.30am yet again I jumped out of bed like before and ran to get a tape measure, put it securely by the alarm clock so that as soon as I was awake I could cut the insulation! ( we are roofing cottage 6 at the mo and time is of the essence..I think it must have been that!)...I need a day off....roll on Xmas...goodness knows what you will all end up eating... dinner for 10!!! could be beans on toast at this rate...or hospital food!!!!
