I’m so frazzled by the festive season already and it’s still weeks away! LOL. I’ve found that having your own place with bills and silly things like council tax to pay for makes Christmas shopping almost impossible. It’s not like I can get presents for people from the 99p store!
I’d been quite pleased knowing that this year I wouldn’t have to buy anything for Tone. He’s really difficult to buy for and I always ended up spending more on him than I wanted to. So you can imagine my annoyedness when I got into work yesterday and got told the Secret ‘but not really so secret’ Santa presents had been drawn and that I was buying for Tone. He’s never taken part in it before, and I bloody bet he fixed it so that I have to buy for him. Grrrrr, he really makes my blood boil sometimes. Anyway, the budget is always a tenner so I don’t have to worry about overspending. I was tempted to tell him to take a tenner out of my wages but that isn’t really in the Christmas spirit is it?! LOL. And then, to top it all off, I get a phone call earlier from Mavis telling me that Tone had flowers sent to her and that he’d remembered that she loves poinsettias (always thought you spelt that poinTsettia!) The little bugger eh?!
So I’ve been having a think about what to get him and so far my thoughts are:
1. socks (shit and boring – just like Tone)
2. a dating guide book (he could really use some tips)
3. Hollyoaks girls calendar with all the boobs cut out (LOLLL)
4. Danny Dyer’s book – hahaha.
Anyway, I must crack on, am looking into buying myself Final Draft or something as a ‘to me, from me’ Xmas pressie so maybe I can finally start some writing in the new year.
What do you all want for Christmas?
