    A christmas present for the kids arrived from a relative in Canada this morning, he'd posted them on November 7th!!!
    Think that officially counts as out of season!

    Heading to London tomorrow to see the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour. I bought is as a Christmas present for my goddaughter (who is extremely excited) - surely this counts as it’s a Christmas present???

    The show was brilliant. We are staying in the hotel beside the O2 so ran into some of the stars in the bar afterwards. She got photos with Stacey, Jeannette, Aliaz, Graeme, Dr Ranj, Craig and Faye. They were all really nice.

    We took our decorations down in decent time and boxed them. However, I am ashamed to say that they were left in a 'holding area' for too long this year and only got thrown up into the attic last night.

    Plus, it was only done then because we were at odds about something else and she went into full martyr mode.

    Me passing the things up to her in the attic asking 'What do you want next?', she kept saying that she couldn't hear me even though I was talking loudly up to her. So, I mumbled 'Sure you can fúcking stay up there' and of course she heard that with precision!

    I still have a table centre piece on the kitchen table! I got a fresh pine one (fresh when I got it) and said I would put it away when the pine fell out, still going, although very dry but still

    No not this time :)

    We put her in drama classes because she likes singing and dancing. It has really started to give her confidence which is great however kids being kids she has a tendency to starting singing or dancing in public places for no reason!

    Wife was suppose to bring the last of the Christmas goodies into work today to completely remove the temptation. I was suppose to remind her last night to leave them out and 'forgot' :)

    Finally got the Christmas tree cut up and in the brown bin. Been in the back garden since start of January, staring at me, daring me to get rid of it and didn't have the heart to till now.

    2 Tayto's left from the box we brought back from the Old Sod.
    4 cans of club orange.

    That ratio is annoying me.

    Finally put the Christmas delph away yesterday. Still have my two Christmas jigsaws hanging up in the dining room......once they go, that will be the end of it. It's only me that sees them, so might leave them for another week or two....

    We still have christmas bedding on the guest bedroom beds. No one ended up staying over or has stayed overnight with us since christmas so they've not been changed. I suspect that wont last much longer though as we're doing another clear out at the moment & theres only the attic level left which is where the guest bedroom is left to do... I'm genuinely surprised they've lasted this long.
