Late TGIF again – few decent excuses tho’…. Christmas slob out, Knackering Knickers traumas, bulbous problems and rucks with my rucksack!!
Christmas day was lovely – fed the old uns –think I maybe did overdo the sugar as mom has had a funny tummy ever since! The ‘Britain’s Best Dish menu’ went down a treat – the Tiddy Oggies, slow cooked pork and apple pie were rather delish tho I say so myself. Lovely pressies too – lots of fab stuff to take on hols – and a humungous pink leather overnight bag from Numpts – almost too good to use – big enough to smuggle her to NZ in – think that was the thought!
Knickers-wise I’m doomed to be going commando in New Zealand – you know you’ve got to have new knickers to take on holiday haven’t you – but the Primark ones ripped as I tried to get them up my legs – so I gave them away to two smaller bummed girls at work – but they also cut their blood supplies off – so treated myself to a couple of new pairs of sponge bob specials - decided to up the size – my arse is now built for comfort y’see – but spotted some lovely ‘short style’ ones in the sale yesterday – got them home and they were just huge Bridgets – bugger! So y’see I think it’s commando now….
Christmas bulbs eh? My amaryllis is proving interesting – at 76cm (30 inches in old money…) it has started to move – first it was just seeking out the light, then it got bolder…. it got a scared during Dr Who’s Christmas special and headed for the window, by bed time it was at right angles and in the morning had a distinct case of Amaryllis
Brewer’s droop – so has spent the rest of the festive season propped up against various bits of furniture – a little the worse for wear – I know how it feels!...and so does Numpty - having confessed her own Christmas special Kamikaze nose dive
onto her nephew on the sofa - ending up wearing her dinner – don’t you just love those Sherry moments… hic! Sadly no pics of Numpts – no-one was quick enough :-(
Now it’s not an understatement to say I have unpacked and repacked ol’ rucky about a dozen times – it’s such a faff having to put all liquid lotions and potions in a resealable bag – then measure and weigh hand luggage and the like – I dare say I will have one more ‘dry run’ before Saturday J two of everything is what I have decided – one on and one stinking the rucky out… I’m going to look like Michelin man with the amount of stuff I’m wearing just in case my luggage goes walkabout at Thiefrow…. So folks you have a quiet month ahead – if I get chance I’ll post stuff on the Blog – all I know is there are 11 of us – and I start in Auckland and end up in Christchurch – and after one final meal I then head off to Canterbury to bug Manda & Rich for the week – it all seems a little unreal at the moment – but this time next week I’ll be up in the air somewhere…. Hopefully.
So take care now and hope you have a great start to 2008 – see some of you at COBS tomorrow night

Saw this in the Readers Digest…. Thought it was appropriate…
A neurotic friend of mine left some emotional baggage unattended at Heathrow Airport…. It caused a massive insecurity alert……
