Yup I’m going to be the first one to broach the dreaded subject of Chrimbo!

I know must of us probably haven’t even started to think about Xmas shopping yet, let alone contemplating the idea of having to spend the day with long lost relatives that we’d hoped had remained lost! But it’s now only 7 days to go so I think we all need to get our party hats on and get that Christmas Cheesy Tunes CD out.

I’m not really looking forward to Christmas Day itself, it’s my turn to do the dutiful girlfriend bit and spend it with my fella’s folks and family which I’m sure will be very nice but it’s just not the same as spending it in the comfort of your own home when your Mum still tries to force you to have that one obligatory disgusting brussel sprout and you can’t get completely drunk without having to worry about making a complete tit out of yourself in front of the “in-laws”!

Boxing Day is another matter entirely. I can’t wait for that. We’ll be trudging back down the motorway to my folks where PPQ and Bubs will be joining my sister “Papillon Bleu” and myself for a yummy slap up meal courtesy of our mad French mother and more plonk than is humanly possible to consume, but we’ll give it a try anyway! And none of this turkey rubbish, we’re going for duck this year – tradition is going out the window when it comes to food. However I’m sure PPQ will be instigating much traditional Christmas game playing, although when she wins the 10th game in a row we will have to ban her to the naughty cupboard upstairs to make her think about what she’s done!

So without further ado I’d like to wish all you bloggers out there a Merry Christmas and urge you all to get listening to the likes of Slade and Wham, stuff your face with mince pies and enjoy a few Christmas tipples to get you in the festive mood.

I’m sure you’ll all be pleased to know that PPQ will be gracing our screens again from next week so you can all breathe a sigh of relief. I think us fellow guest bloggers will be doing the same – how do you guys do it everyday!

And it’s back to you PPQ… Welcome back, we’ve all missed you.
