Winkling got finished. I gave myself a shake after my tough day and was fine for the last couple of days. We’re sending off nearly 43 stone tomorrow. Not sure what the price will be but we’ll definitely clear over £1000 for our winkling altogether which will pay for our off island jaunt next month. The plan for next year will be to pay for something amazing – it’s a good cash in hand bonus for this time of year. We have venison money to come too so all is well financially which is an odd position to be in!
In other news we had the Christmas party to exchange secret santa gifts. It all started a bit rubbish with no one really there and not much festive feeling but people arrived, bearing wrapped gifts, we made paper chains and blew up balloons and brought in Christmas tree trimmings and suddenly it was all beginning to look a lot like Christmas :). I love it here for that. We had a lovely few hours, wine was mulled (I am the Rum queen of mulled wine although Jinty puts Buckfast in hers and it is classed as Mullered wine which is different). We left around 530pm and came home for dinner.
I think we have most of the Christmas presents here now, nothing important is outstanding anyway. I’ve done the big wrapping session and we have one last food shop to order in from the Co Op and then we’re done, It’s been pretty low stress all told.
