Dec. 7th, 2014 06:10 pmSperrywink's post reminded me I haven't shared pictures of my tree this year. I mean, it's not Christmas until Turlough's told me my lights are the wrong colour *g*

James got his Christmas shifts yesterday. He's working days on Christmas Eve and Boxing day 7:30-7:30 but is off all of Christmas day. He should have been working that day too, but swapped teams early this year, and his old team is getting all of Christmas off after working it for the last few years. So, a condition of him moving was that he got Christmas day off, too. Which I'm glad about. It just means we'll have to do our giving out of gifts on the 23rd and have a late boxing day buffet tea. And hmmmm, I can already taste that turkey, stuffing and mint sauce sandwich.
Things are going nicely around here. Cards will be getting posted tomorrow, most gifts have been bought, my MiL is out of hospital, mam and Kayleigh are actually getting on at the moment and I've watched about 82909373 Christmas films. On the flip side, my dad has hit another downswing and my FiL got so drunk that he collapsed in the street and had to be helped in by neighbours. It's not something he's done before so I'm guessing stress is taking some part.
If you missed my card post it's the last post on my journal.
Finally, I bought James a Chromecast for his birthday, and I'm loving how it means I can watch stuff from my computer on the main TV. Which means we can finally watch last season of Supernatural and the one that's on now. It's a show we always watched together and then it was taken off UK tv, so despite downloading it week to week, I just didn't watch -- but now we can.
