Shit. Time is running out. LOADS to get done before the end of the year.
Got to send out my Christmas cards – too late?
Throw all my Christmas food away – brandy butter mountain – making me feel sick
Get engaged so not too far behind ex in happiness stakes (will have to remember not to be too picky about hair, shoes, height, age, in fact even whether male or female at this late stage)
Get fit enough to pull someone tonight that wants to marry me (could be tricky given my New Year’s Eve celebration is turning into a mother and daughter party)
Buy and cook food for tonight
Buy lots of alcohol as need to drink entire content of January’s intake tonight so don’t miss it throughout the month
Cover garden in fleece – where do you get fleece? before next snow onslaught
Talk to all my friends and family
Oh bollocks. Forget it. I got through Christmas by DELEGATING, relaxing and buying most of the food from Marks and Spencer’s ready made, so will do the same again.
Who can I delegate next year to?
Even worse is that I’ve got to go and see bloody Avatar with youngest child which is deeply stressful because it’s very long and l haven’t really got the time to sit about wearing stupid 3D glasses.
Anyway, if you don’t hear from me again today it may be because I’ve passed out with exhaustion.
I hope you all have a wonderful New Year’s Eve and that 2010 is everything that you want it to be. A friend sent me a text yesterday that I thought I’d share with you:-
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
So love the people who treat you right,
Forget about the ones who don’t
and believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it
If it changes your life, let it
Nobody said life would be easy,
They just promised it would be worth it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL YOU LOVELY PEOPLE OUT THERE XX

Happy New Year! Love the line ‘forget about the ones who don’t'….
Enjoy Avatar and have a great party. (Oh – and good luck with finding that fiance. Nothing like a challange to start off the New year, eh?)

And thank you for your lovely blog. I feel as if you’re a friend, which is quite funny as you really have no way of even knowing who I am! I’m sure 2010 will bring wonderful things.

Well good luck with Avatar….I’ve been seeing trailers for this all this Autumn and it looks as dull as ditchwater – a rehashed story we’ve seen time and time again….but, a Very Happy New Year to you all – and thank you for keeping us informed and amused with Family Affairs. Here’s hoping it goes from strength to strength and that you find personal peace in the turmoil unfolding around you. X

Happy new year, lovely lady! Here’s to facing whatever 2010 brings with gritty determination and the slight unsteadiness that too many Merlots brings.
Cheers!
