it is over at last

Well it is all over for another year, nice Christmas food all gone, same with the drinks and choccies. Then the big excitement of welcoming in the new year, the same as the year before the BBC showed, in fact it could have even been a repeat of last time with the London firework display. So what are we left with now? no food in fridge- no drinks cooling down- empty bottles in the dustbin- xmass tress at the local dump. No Christmas cards littering up the place and visitors gone. |Kids toys no longer played with and stuffed into a cupboard out of sight.

Isn't it nice to get back to normal again ,such as weekly shopping- car cleaning weather permitting which we can now freely moan about how misearble the weather has turned out to be.

Next is the summer holiday to plan for, oops no money left after the festivities and those credit cards to pay off. Oh well lets forget about summer hollidays for the time being then.

Happy new year all

Yes just 8 weeks before we can get back to our caravan, then every weekend down there until end of October. Really can't come soon enough!

Happy new year to you to Realspeed. Unfortunately it isn´t all over here, we have Christmas eve again today and Christmas day again tomorrow, Spanish style. However we won´t be putting the tree back up or buying more presents, I´m not even buying a 3 kings cake. I´m more than ready for life to get back to whatever passes for normality.

Happy New Year Barry I hope your new grandchild is doing well.

I always feel a sense of great relief when December is behind us and we are into January, almost half the winter is gone and spring not far away...

Re: it is over at last

Isnt it funny I usually love Christmas cannot wait to put the decs up, getting the food and drink in, enjoying the day.

There is just the two of us but this year, we bought very little extra food, and even the tin of chocs is still three quarters full. Drinks I had a couple but rest of bottle still there.

I think I need to get out of this fug I seem to be in.

Happy New Year to all.
