Plans, what plans? I did have a plan for today, but by 9am, I just threw that up in the air and started again. I hope Santa's plans are doing better and maybe he can put one or two little things in my stocking.
Having been told last night that one of my headlights was out, that became a top priority, but had to be done before 1pm. Then a phone call came to say that my new glasses were ready, and also needed dealing with before 1pm.
So I cancelled my massage and dental appointments and set off to get my lights sorted. The bulb was fine but someone had messed around with it and it was barely in the holder and any vibration was enough to interfere with it.
Then it was back, past home in completely the opposite direction to collect my new glasses - I can see road signs now and the tv is no longer fuzzy.
Then I collected my Christmas meat from the butcher, who was packed out, and got moaned at by a stupid man because I had not parked between the white lines. As I pointed out to him, if I had done that, neither he nor I could have opened our car doors. Two land rovers do not fit side by side in narrow parking spaces.
I do have plans for the rest of the week, but no real expectation of getting any of them done. Tomorrow, I am waiting in for a delivery and intending to cook a chicken, then boil up the carcass to make some fresh mushroom soup (the mushrooms need using up). Then I need more stamps to send my cards, and once my delivery has arrived, I can go out round the local area and deliver those I can by hand.
Sainsbury's are due to deliver on Saturday and once that is done, whatever I have forgotten will be done without. Apart, that is, for filling up with fuel. Hopefully there will be a voucher for money off fuel with my shopping. After that, I am not going out again until Christmas Day, except to give the dogs a run.
My next plan is to take the dogs out now and then go to bed early. Do I stand any chance...........

I wish you a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2014.
