Guess what I found sitting outside my door when I got home this evening?

A big parcel from

richardjgrayson! That he posted in October....

So now I have a little bag of what you guys call 'candy', and some presents to go under my tree. When I get the tree put up....

Yes, I know. It's December 23rd and I don't have my tree up yet. My mother only brought it over in the car about ten minutes ago - I haven't had the time to fetch it till now. Plus Rowan'll want to help me decorate it, so I'll finish it tomorrow. I spent a while this evening re-sellotaping the paperchains back up on the ceiling - double stuck this time.

I'm in two minds whether I'll put the tree up this evening and leave it bare. Probably the best plan, as Rowan'll only get in the way tomorrow. We also have shopping still to do as I don't have half the cards I need (I hate cards - such a waste of paper if you're also giving them a present...) nor any wrapping paper.

I know...I'm so organised aren't I! *tongue in cheek*

In other news, I have yet again lost my hot water. It's only been three sodding weeks since the last time! And of course because it's Christmas weekend, there's no way I can get anyone out to sort it till next wednesday - and that's even if they work next week! The Council staff took an extra day off after the August Bank Holiday when my flooding really took hold, for some reason I have yet to understand. God knows if they'll work between Christmas and New Year...
