Bah Humbug Indeed

Morning folks....Christmas has come and gone and it was lovely to share the grandkiddies excitement of opening the pressies that Santa left at Grandma's.....yes all the expected diners managed to get here despite the weather and I am now surviving on the left overs but I am left feeling like Mrs Misery and probably just like you am wondering what all the fuss was about...weeks of running around like a headless chicken = 2 days of stuffing our faces silly...the result...one not so happy Bank Manager....could this be the start of the Grumpy Old Woman stage of my life.   The real reason for the doom and gloom I suspect is a recent invitation to join the "Feeling Sorry For Myself" Club....wasn't aware that I accepted but it would appear that like it or not I am now a fully fledged member and have been awarded an aching head...sore neck...racking cough and what did I do to qualify for the gold membership benefits of sore eyes and aching teeth....yes the one present you don't want to get in your stocking....the Christmas Virus has arrived in the cubbyhole.  Not thinking for one minute that I am alone and that this is the most exclusive club in the world so to all my fellow sufferers including my lovely buddy Anne....I am toasting you all with hot lemony drinks spiced up with painkillers while snuggling my hot water bottle until we can figure out how to unsubscribe.
Hasn't the TV been rubbish over Christmas but I did find one little gem which could become my new snuggle up on the sofa addiction...Upstairs Downstairs is back....oh how I loved the old version of this classic with Hudson and Rose but this latest version could turn out to be a whole lot spicier and just when you think it can't get any better...Dancing on Ice will be back on our screens on 9th January.....can't wait to see who the gorgeous Dan The Man is partnered with this time round.
Can you tell I am feeling chirpier already....could this be enough to blow away the Christmas doom and gloom cobwebs....

yes folks.....the chocolate Cubbyhole Stash mountain just got a whole lot bigger and on the weather front we seem to be getting a bit of a thaw....so it's not all bad news at the cubbyhole.  Take care and stay warm my friends...I am off to boil the kettle for yet another "feel sorry for myself" hot drink
