You are soooooo right darling. Under the bed, on the bed, on the kitchen table, under the tree. . . all good. Still wouldn't get anything done tho, apart from him, that is.bobsgirl said:Minxie, if you hide under the bed with that guy in your AV, it might perk up your attitude...Just a thought.

Can you provide a little translation? Esky, kelpie, swaggie, family snap, galah
I'm a bloody yank, y'know.
or wear deodorant?? ) More heat and dust and the smell of methanol 
This is on top of all the other things we have to do like dialysis 3 times a week!

And it seems that a lot of bills/expenses (not including christmas presents) seem to come around in late November/December/January. Things are going to be a bit tight here for a while.
Spending Christmas Day with people you never see from one year to the next....Gil has a couple of rellies who descend on his parents every year, eat and drink heaps, never bring anything to contribute to the table and then bugger off until next Christmas
Trying to get through on the phone on Christmas Day to my family in NZ....last year I had to use my mobile phone cos the landlines were overloaded.
Then after Christmas and all through January we will be busy with speedway, sometimes 2 or 3 meetings in a row....so we will both be tired and Gil will have to pace himself or he won't be able to move....but he loves it
quoll said:Yes Yess Yesss, if only it would all just bugger off. Shit I haven't even thought about buying stuff this year and it's not like I'm full of energy after work.
I'll swap the methanol for diesel.
Congratulations Gil & Bandit
Luckily one kid bought himself an ipod and only wants money towards it, and I sent my daughter's presents back with her on the plane last week (she had an early Christmas lol!) 
We did that this year for my pilates instructor. We bought her a llama from the World Heifer project. She is gonna cry and cry. . .lol. I do admit, i like when people get all sappy over stuff.Phaedre said:I dislike the feeling of greed that Christmas seems to provoke in people. I've suggested more than once that it would be better for everyone if we donated to World Vision or similar charity and give aid to someone who really needs it instead of searching for gifts that are actually unneeded and in some cases unwanted. Even if we only did this once I'd be happy.
I also loathe the crowds, especially when grocery shopping. Anyone would think there was going to be a famine the way some people fill their trolleys with food. The shops are only closed for two days for heavens sake!
PS quoll loved the Ozzie carols. Had heard the 12 days before but not the other.
