I am wrapping Christmas presents
I think I like this bit of Christmas - it's rather like having a larder and freezer full of ingredients and home baking.


OMG!

I'm turning into Nigella!

I'm crap at wrapping presents.
Even books end up looking like the paper might be torn off to reveal a tree branch.
( thealternativefact, Wed 17 Dec 2008, 18:04, Reply)

I too am shit at wrapping
and I don't plan on getting any better. Mr Bin is very good and wrapping so I get to sit round eatin mince pies while he does all the work.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Wed 17 Dec 2008, 18:16, Reply)

Oh, good
It's not just me then. I thought it was because I'm a bloke, as my sister could wrap up a cactus and make it look like it a work of art.

Whereas I can fuck up wrapping rectilinear presents.

I gave my mum a garden claw
one year for Christmas and had lots of fun and swearing trying to wrap it. In the end I wrapped each prong individually.

Ning all :)

I'm crap at wrapping

At first.


By the time I've done an hour or two and wrapped about ten gifts I'm pissed off with the whole thing and end up knocking back large quantities of mulled wine.

Now *that's* my idea of Christmas!

I've not been around here a great deal of late, as I've been busy with work, gigs and sexmy social life.

But I've been popping in and out during the day this week. Life is busy, but good.

I have started my Christmas holidays today.

I was meant to be working but they cancelled.

Nothing now until I start my first proper teaching job on January 5th.

Yourself?

Woolies
is a great shop. I use it a lot. Admittedly, it's usually for low value hardware sort of stuff, like a tube of glue or a light bulb for the oven, but it's much handier than having to get in the car to go to B&Q or the like.

I've been at work all day, had to go to an evening meeting which meant I got in after seven, and my family are all at death's door, so...

On the flip side I got the DW series four box set, the Incredible Hulk DVD, a bottle of the nicest Ouzo in the world, and several bottles of fine ales. And I have wine.

So on balance... yeah. Not a bad day.

How's your good self?
