Morning all. Merry Christmas .
As I have no one to talk to about it ( Dad is asleep in front of the Carols plus I can't talk to him about it anyway) I just wanted to have a wee tiny rant about my Christmas morning.
Got up at my usual 6.00am, had my cuppa and went to wake Dad up. After months of wet bedding, and only wet, I went in this morning to find pooh!! Today of all days! Not that I mind cleaning up - I have a deeply ingrained emergency routine that has got a lot of practice and getting Dad clean and comfortable is always the first priority. So far, so......... Happened to glance at the electric meter, to read 0.15!!!! In all the rushing around, none of us had paid it any heed!!
It's not all bad though. The others have gone to sil's family for dinner, so I am preparing a feast for me and Dad, with as many pigs in blankets as we want!!! They are back this afternoon and will charge the electric key - there is an emergency fiver on it, so I can do the washing and drying etc. Then the nephews are coming for tea and presents, so all in all, a good day . Dad is sleeping peacefully in his recliner and I have got through all the messy stuff and am ready to go and get festive (clothes, hair and full make up I reckon )
It's good to have got that out of my system!! My OH always says -accidents don't blow whistles!!
Lots of love and season's greetings to all, have a great day.
