I was up at 6:30am this morning in order to head to Marks & Spencer to pick up our Christmas food.<\/p>\n
We had an 8am to 8:30am slot, and it’s lucky I left early because when I arrived at 7:45am there were already people queuing out the door!<\/p>\n
It took me about 45 minutes to get our food and pay, and then I was on my way home.<\/p>\n
Which is lucky, because we’re heading down to London tonight for a Christmas Eve Eve party.<\/p>\n
Holly has done it with her friends every year since she was a teenager and now there’s husbands and children.<\/p>\n
I think we’re all set for Christmas, thanks entirely to Holly. It’s been easy for me this year, and I’m lucky to have someone who’s happy to take on all that planning.<\/p>\n
Anyhoo…<\/p>\n
I may send some emails over Christmas.<\/p>\n
I may not.<\/p>\n
It totally depends on how much eat, how much I drink and whether I’m still awake!<\/p>\n
Have a great Christmas.<\/p>\n
