Mmmm. Well? As many of you know. Hubs and I are in dire straits. We have the wolves at the door demanding money, they want to repossess the house, the car, and anything else that isn't nailed down. But you know what? Today is Christmas day and we just chilled.

We took dawg for a very long walk he chased squirrels and magpies and pigeons, and didn't catch any of em. I said to him well that's life that is. Get over it.

We couldn't afford gifts apart from a bit of chocolate and shower gel for NO.1 son and girlfriend. But we had a lovely day.

We ate a huge chicken dinner and played games and laughed, and when I had a few too many ciders, I cried, coz I maybe won't see son for a few years (moving to Canada) me, not son.

But you know, that is what it is all about. It's not about the huge pile of cr*p under the tree. It's about who you love.

And if you are with someone you love tonight then you are very lucky and you should cherish the moment.

OK. So I am officially p*ssed and should be in bed.

Merry Christmas

And good night.....................................
