Woo-hoo!

dodgyhoodoo went out for the first of many waves of grocery shopping, and when he came back, he came to find me in the study (where I was making a new Sims 2 house) and asked if he could give me 'something' now. I shrugged and said, "If you must" so he told me to close my eyes and then stuck what felt like a DVD case in my hands.

You guessed it: he got me White Christmas on DVD. He also has the receipt in case the "silly gift" Mum got me is also White Christmas. I always knew dodgyhoodoo was lovely, but he really has just made my Christmas. I might not get snow, but I will get my Bing Crosby fix this year.

There have actually been a lot of chores done today. A couple of grocery shopping trips led to the unblocking of the bathtub drain (it was draining awfully slow, probably because I shed nearly as bad as Yuki does), and I cleaned the dining table so that it is now possible for more than two people to eat at it. While cleaning off the table, I found my scented candles, my oil burner, my pastels, several books I thought I'd lost and a gateway to the lost city of Atlantis. (Okay, I was kidding about that last part, but wouldn't it be cool if I had?)

Unfortunately, I now have a migraine. I took painkillers and am now waiting for them to kick in. Meanwhile, it's dodgyhoodoo's turn to spend Christmas Eve running around the kitchen like a blue-arsed fly in an attempt to cook Mystery Pudding. Well, I did it last year.
