If you haven't received a Christmas card from me, it may be because I don't have your address (Jack the lass, I realise I've lost yours!); it may be because I don't really know you well enough; or it may very possibly be that yours is with the pile of unfinished Christmas cards sat in my drawer waiting for me to remember at the right time that I haven't finished writing them yet.
I was feeling bad about it until I realised that anyone who resented me not sending them a card this year probably wasn't someone I should feel bad about not sending one to. But that doesn't mean that I don't wish I'd been more organised. I think getting the first and second batches sent out so quickly meant that my mind settled itself to that job being complete.
I am a bit fed up this evening to discover that my back has given up the ghost. Well, not quite, but it's seriously achy and uncomfortable. I knew I should have got a bit more ahead of the game with the cleaning and putting the decorations up. Still, with Smudgelet out of the way tomorrow for most of the morning (he's going to the cinema with friends and then out to lunch at Macdonalds) , I should be able to have a better go at things tomorrow and at least find a bed for our visitor to sleep in! :D
I lost the card that my uncle had sent for Eldest son today. I eventually found it.... I had hung it up on the card holder with ours - it must have been the very first one I put up seeing as it was the very last one left when I took them all down again in search for it. It may arrive a little late, but it's the thought that counts, and I really love my uncle for sending him a card. He's never met him, and hasn't even seen me for years.
Lovely day today - made all the better by a 70% improvement in the Smudgelet's attitude (probably the result of a serious warning from Honorary Auntie M) - I will post photos when I can find the lead for the Smudgelet's camera.
