justinsgayhero, nopsued ( your card made me laugh so much ) fleurrochard hegemony ( so great to hear from you again ) _titch, x_dark_siren_x ( the canes are on my tree ♥ ) , romanticalgirl ( love the business card ) , venetia_sassy, annemaris ( thank you for what you wrote inside, you made my heart swell and my eyes fill up -- hey, there's a h/c story for you..... because yeah, kindred spirit ♥ and finally, thank you pensnest for the beautiful card and parcel ♥
I hit a wall shopping wise earlier this week. We'd been out and about for days in a row and due to James working, had to go out again and get everything done that day. It was hot and crowded in the shops but there was a severe weather warning for rain and wind, so I was cold and wet and trying to control Corey's poster frame that wanted to act as a sail when we got outside.
There was a respite when I stood and watched a local special needs school signing/signing Christmas songs, which was great, and then later, while we ate dinner in the car while parked up at the beach watching the waves crash over the pier. But after that it was two more supermarkets and then carrying mam's stuff to her house and then our stuff into ours.
Got back, and saw that all the rain had caused a leak in the hall and water was dripping through the light fitting. A bucket under that and I got to listen to drip, drip, drip as I was playing freezer tetris and trying to get everything stowed away. At that point I was done.
However, on the plus side. All gifts are bought and wrapped. Food shopping is done with the last arriving via online delivery late this afternoon. Cards and packages have been sent and apart from tidying the tip, we're pretty much set. James' one day off is tomorrow, but he's doing a bag pack with the scouts during the day, so I'll sort the presents out then, and we'll go on a delivery run on the night.
And in fact the delivery has just come, so I'd better go and put all that stuff away and then make the broth considering the veggies are finally here.
But first. Stuffsit has started posting \o/

I hope the broth turned out well.
