h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

well today Joseph finally made some choux pastry (as of yet to be cooked)

rearranged the kitchen cupboards this morning in an attept to find some piping bags they turned out to be under the fridge

we went to the shops to get some Christmas gifts so those are mostly sorted, now I wouldn't normally get presents this early, which has lead to me worrying about where we could hide them until the big day, now I'm sure all those with children (and those without) have at some point hidden a Christmas gift so all I have to do is prey that they stay hidden and remember where I've put them or santa won't have much in his sack this year. he's only three so I'm hoping that my hiding places won't be foiled if I can't out smart him when he's three what chance will I have in the future?

now I've not had much for dinner so I'm off to go and cook something, perhaps it will even be healthy which would be a nice change but I'm not sure what it will be yet. I've got a guitar lesson tomorrow, I'm paid up for the month so I may as well use them

and that's the end of this spectacularly short journal

I have one handy hint, that you may well have already thought of, but wrap the presents from Santa in different wrapping to anyone elses because it did not go unnoticed that Santa used the same wrapping as we did

It's not my son I have to worry about hunting for the presents, it's my husband.

that's why i don't buy Joseph's till closer to Christmas, men are worse than children sometimes *hopes husband doesn't read this*

If I don't wait till Christmas Eve to get my presents, I forget where I've put them. Or worse still, I forget I've got them at all and go out and get another lot.

I would do it on Christmas eve but I hate large crowds of people, the roads are madness and other shoppers are unpleasant
