I remembered to submit my meter readings, so I'm now giving up and going to bed...

I have no intention of doing a single thing tomorrow.. I am so desperately tired I want to cry like a loony and I don't want to cook or clean or go shopping with my mother or wrap the remaining presents infact the most obscene thing is that if Christmas was to be cancelled this year I don't even think I would be so upset.. Does that mean I am turning into my miserable a$s of a father? If so, please kill me now!!

Nope. It means you're tired and you've got too much to do. It's been a tough year for you, so it's not surprising you're worn out.

I suggest you run away and spend Christmas on the beach (somewhere hot) on your own!

I am just feeling so completely and utterly drained it is unbelievable.

I hate sand...

I feel the need for a pyjama day, lots of sleep and hugs and cupa of tea...

I'll go to bed now I think and see how I am feeling in the morning.. I may well be human(ish) again then

OMG!!!! What a day.

Work has been sooooo busy. But we had an extra staff member on today so yay! Triker was it the Boots in town that you said? Coz if your extra items are in tomorrow I could pick them up and drop them off for you if you want. I'm in town and moving around tomorrow.

I've done no flying today coz I was at work all day, then got home and we have friend over, so I'm claiming a no fly zone for the day. I'm up tomorrow rom 5 though, so I'm gonna fly before the shops open...in theory.

Soappie glad your heatings working

Mudbath I like your style.

For anyone I've forgotten, Hugs and Loves all round!

Natty, gawd that sounds horrendous....glad you finaly arived home safely.

Piggers, rest if you can hun, remember it wasn't that long ago you were diagnosed with Glandular Fever....it doesn't just go away, it takes a long time to recover from and if you don't 'give in' and rest, it comes back with a vengence.

Haven't wrapped any pressies.....arrrrrggggggghhhhhhh, I didn't want this to happen.:o

Instead made tea and had a lovely hot bath, my last of this year :j....I don't like baths I prefer showers.

Heading to bed to warm up, oh eck, its nearly the big day.


FRUG!!
