Christmas eve; 6:17pm; three children; haven’t started wrapping yet

D’oh! Tristan, Matthew and Harmony are growing increasingly excited and the likelihood of them being asleep before 9pm is reducing in direct proportion. Looks like a late night of wrapping for us. The plan was originally to do the wrapping on Monday and Tuesday evenings, but Debbie and I are full of the cold and just not in the mood. Still, we have a fair amount of nice pressies for them, with a couple of notable exceptions. Matthew’s copy of Mario Party 3 (from ebay) hasn’t arrived, and the two Pokemotions we ordered from Hong Kong haven’t appeared either, despite being shipped on the fourth of december.

Our two week old washing machine also decided to give up the ghost today. I’ve been lugging emergency washing up to a friend’s house all day cos the engineer won’t put in an appearance til Saturday. Bah.

My Maw and Paw were out visiting yesterday as well. They’ve decided they like my soup 🙂
