And they're not the only ones who have got my dander up...before Christmas you couldn't switch on the telly or open a newspaper but you were bombarded with food...food...food...making us all feel our Christmas would be inadequate if we didn't buy X..Y and Z and as usual...fools that we are...we fell for it. Hence your fridge probably looks like mine...a bewildering jungle of goodness knows what...little parcels of this that and the other wrapped in tin foil...cartons of cream that are now out of date...wedges of cheese despite their origin have all now taken on the "stinky blue with lots of bacteria" Stilton look...left over sausage rolls that even The Furry Boy would turn his nose up at and that's just the tip of the iceberg and talking of icebergs there are 2 of the lettuce variety in the salad drawer that could probably make it to the bin under their own steam...not to mention the cupboard full of Christmas Cakes and other baked goodies or the pile of tempting chocolates that I'm finding rather hard to ignore...
And on an even more serious note...the cubbyhole crew have been struck down by the lazitis virus...all that curled up on the sofa watching endless telly and stuffing our faces has taken it's toll...how can I motivate my little team to get back into the crafty groove and work their sample magic with the new 2014 Fiskars products to be launched at Stitches in February...
when we've been brainwashed into thinking only of the Christmas food mountain perhaps I need to send out an invitation to the Friday Girls to come and join me in one last huge "all you can eat - demolish the left-overs" party.
See you all tomorrow
