Xmas plans

Well I started planning to be organized for Xmas sometime towards the beginning of September which I felt was realistic and achievable. After the many thoughts and ideas I had for gifts and new xmas decorations etc. I congratulated myself for being ahead of the game and ..... I put it on the back boiler......and before I knew it time had moved on and it was the end of October !! I fall for this EVERY year ! I NEVER learn that time passes quickly and I need to do Xmas NOW ! Why does it always creep up on me ? I'm no spring chicken infact I passed my forties when you could still buy a lipstick without the beauty consultant asking what your skin care regime is and giving you the sad eyes and kind smile !! Anyway it is nearly here and we have enough lights to illuminate the whole of Manchester including the Town Hall....none of them work or are the wrong shade of light ??? ( I like warm rosegold this Xmas :-) ). Anyway everything is going up tomorrow regardless ! Next year I am going to be better prepared........? Here's hoping your decorations are glorious, your lights are epic and you have a very smug Xmas. x
