I blame Carly ( not for everything!)

Clearly by having a link to Carly's blog she has managed to transmit her cold to me via the internet. I feel gross, and all there is on telly is The Bold and the Beautiful and Days Of Our Lives - where's Lorraine Kelly and Phillip Schofield and Loose Women when you're stuck on the couch feeling sorry for yourself?

As it is Jenna and I are watching Pirates of Penzance and having a good laugh. I cannot go outside for it is so bright that my poor sore eyes feel like they may actually spotaneously combust.

Seriously Carly - do you want to swap lives? I want wintery Christmas - you're fed up of being cold....think how pleased our mothers would be! (i obviously don't actually blame you....I do hope you feel better soon!)


Bleurgh. Cough. Sniff. xxx

Edited at 5.30pm to add:

Christmas has begun at The Bergmans. As Adrian is completely indifferent about Christmas i decided we would put the Christmas tree up today for something to do, and in true Hill tradition we all sang along to The Muppets whilst doing it ( ok, well, actually that would be just me singing The Muppets then.....!) In fact i got all teary because they started singing something about being home for Christmas *sniff sniff*


I had help from all quarters as you can see and everyone's fed up now and they've all gone outside to make mud pies. 2 nasty things happened though - i found 2 snails attached to the trunk/pole part of the tree and then a cockroach climbed out of the tinsel. EWWWW. I hate having a cellar.

Who wants to bet that tree will get pulled down about 154 times before Christmas?

I also found a lot of Claire's hair in the tree from last year. Thanks Claire, we won't forget you this year, you're STILL moulting all over my carpet :)

I watched some more dvd's from mum and dad today and managed to make the Railway Children work the whole way through and that made me cry too. A LOT. The guilty party knows who he is and why he's made me cry!

Right, off to make a salad. Nothing FEELS right. Still. This is NZ Christmas #4 for me and it still.......well, you know the rest. I won't whinge any more. Ding dong, Glad Tidings, all the rest of it.

*sniff sniff sniff* - no honestly, i'm fine....it's just my cold making my eyes water......*sniff sniff SNIFF*

*booooo hoooooooooo hooooooooooo*
