Well today it’s Boxing Day here in Australia and you know
what I was up and driving Tim to Morisset train station, not so he could catch
a train but so he could meet up with another driver to go to Sydney where he is
working for the next 5 days. So I am
home alone here today and it is nice to be here on my own for a change.
Yesterday was spent with my family at my parents place it
was a great day, I got some great presents here are some photos of my presents.
The only daughter I didn't see was Kathy-Lee as she was
having Christmas lunch at her place for Michael’s family. Natasha
came over here in the morning to see her dad and me, she gave me a couple of
photo frames and they are pretty frames indeed. However she didn't bother to
wrap them for me and she didn't give her dad anything at all.
Jessica gave me a typewriter and I love it, I was so excited
to get it and when I came home yesterday afternoon I wrote a letter to an
overseas penpal. All in all I did pretty
well for Christmas I know I am lucky to have so many people who love me around
me.
Tim however said a number of times that we have to have a
talk about how much I spend on presents each year, I thought about it a lot
last night and you know what I thought to myself what the hell, I don’t
complain about how much Tim spends on alcohol and tobacco each year so why does
he have to complain about how much I spend on presents.
Everyone seemed to have a good day and liked their presents,
well I hope they did.
I'm so glad you had a good Christmas Jo-Anne. Good luck dealing with Tim..lol
ReplyDeleteI will need luck when it comes to dealing with Tim, luck and patience
DeleteI'm glad you had a good Christmas! We did too. I can't remember what boxing day is. I'll have to google it. :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't ask me what Boxing Day, to me it is just the day after Christmas Day...........lol
DeleteWow! Sounds like a full-on day ... as for the expense, maybe you should keep a running tally of your pressie expenses and his booze/cigs expenses over the next 12 months then present him with the evidence next time he complains??!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good idea..............it was a full on day but a great day as well
DeleteI'm glad you had a good holiday! And I hope today is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe last couple of days have been great thanks
DeleteSo good to see you had a good Christmas. But promise me you won't wear that top with the pink polka dots. :) Separate they are very nice, together... well they definitely make a statement. :)
ReplyDeleteTony and I have separate finances, so there's not a lot of arguing over who spends what. Particularly when he is usually the benefactor in the equation.
No I will not be wearing the top with the pink polka dot pants since they are my Pj's. I have no income so I have to rely on Tim
DeleteI think you should both have your indulgences and allow the other theirs;)
ReplyDeleteCool--a typewriter!
Looks like a merry Christmas in your country!
I agree and so does Tim most of the time but sometimes he is just a right tight ass..................
DeleteIf giving gifts makes you happy, then you should do it.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I will continue to do it no matter what Tim says it is who I am
DeleteSounds like you had a nice Christmas. Very cool to get a typewriter. They are becoming a piece of history at this point.
ReplyDeleteYes they are but I can tell you my typewriter will get a lot of use.
