Gnashing of teeth

I was going to post yesterday, then lj went all squiffy and I can't remember what it was going to be about. Mustn't have been very important. Anyway, put the Christmas tree up today and it looks a bit off. I've got one of those glowy light thingy ones and this year it looks sort of bare in places. I'll have to wait for daylight now to see if sdjusting the branches helps. Ho hum.

Even more Christmas shopping yesterday - I thought it was finished. Managed to get mam a slip so there is something to wrap at last. Sunderland was busy and so was Asda. They even had men on directing traffic in the car park. Got my birthday cake - a rather nifty thing with lots of balloon candles on it. He he he. I nearly got the princess one with ballet shoes but decided 53 52 (forgot my age!) was a bit old for it. However, my mam was telling my dad the tale of the Superdrug debacle and she referred to me as 'the bairn'. I guess I always will be.

The Salvation Army was playing carols in Asda's entrance and I got all sniffly. I always do when brass bands play. Weird.

Sunderland got a last gasp draw at Burnley and England fell back to their useless mode by letting Australia score millions of runs. At least our lads hung on for most of today but I expect it'll all end in tears tomorrow. Some good footy this afternoon: Chelsea won and Man U lost. Good on you Curbs, though I still can't forgive you for Wembley.
