turpsThis last weekend has been insanely busy. Christmas shopping on both Sat and Sun, once with the in-laws and once with my family.Doing house stuff and making lists. Lots of lists as James and I sat and arranged things. It was so lovely shopping, especially on Sat when we were at Sunderland and the kiddie rides were in the main street. They were playing Christmas songs and it was cold and Corey and I had just looked at the Christmas decorations and it was just one of those happy moments you know? Then we picked up the in-laws and headed to Metro centre. Corey took Keira through the Christmas village, he was so proud pushing her in her buggy and they had so much fun. Not least when he went in the echo tree. You're supposed to put your head in and say something, he made farting noises *g* So our shopping is started at least and now we have parcels hidden around the house and bags with new decorations ready to be put up and it's just so much fun!
What's not fun is James may have to work 11 to 10 shift on Christmas and Boxing day. They asked for volunteers and James said he'd go in for a two hours but it seems no one else would so the whole team may be pulled in. 11 to 10 man, when are we supposed to have dinner? And I know it's not the end of the world to work on Christmas and Boxing day, my dad did it and I wasn't traumatised by it or anything but dad's a fireman and needed to work, why do you need mobile phone guys at Christmas?
But enough of that, he may sort something out so I'm not letting my Christmas spirit diminish yet.
The mortgage guy is coming in an hour which is why more jobs had to be done over the weekend. I just wish he was here and gone, discussing mortgage rates just isn't fun especially as James will have to take Corey to the cubs and leave me alone with scary mortgage guy for a while. It's also Corey's first time at cubs. I thought a long time about him joining as he's pretty reserved but I figure he might like it and even if he doesn't it's fine, at least he tried it out.
Talking of which I'd better make sure he's changed and do a last pass over before mortgage man comes.
ETA: James may not have long to live. He just came in, I asked him what time the man was coming and he says 'oh I put him off until Wed'
