So it all went wrong…

Earlier in the year my nan passed away, leaving us in lieu of Mum being around a small amount of money. So I decided that after a few years of crappy lean Christmases I would go a bit mad this year and spoil the big and little boys a bit!

The week before Christmas I even managed to get hold of the ultimate Lego Millennium Falcon, which I had pretty much given up hope of obtaining, and decided that it was fates way of helping me have a brilliant Christmas. How wrong I was…

First hubs announced that he had 23 hours off for Christmas! Not best pleased would be an understatement. So I have just put together a lunchbox and ironed a shirt, while sitting here until he gets up at 1 am so that he can get some quality sleep.

Then the boy gets a rotten cold, which means he has been needy, grumpy and not really sleeping which has made doing those last minute crimbo jobs have felt like torture. And then last night, while I was trying to wrap the last of the pressies, he starts throwing up!

So today my living room looks like the Lego store, but my child is too sick to build or play, and this perfect extravagant Christmas has been an utter sham! Having bought Mad Dad 2 big lego sets, a PS4 game and a range of new running tops, he got me a bottle of JD and a straightening brush I ordered myself on black Friday – that he didn’t even wrap!!!!! Despite dropping several hints, and my sister sending him a link to the perfume set I’d like he independently bought me nothing. Fuming! That and I have spent the day dealing with sick, because he thinks it is digusting – that’s funny love because its on my top ten list of fun thing to do…

So next year I am going back to scrimping, and rationing presents because money certainly can’t buy a happy Christmas! But it can buy cake 😉

Hope you all had a lovely one, Mad Mum
