The BBC this morning put a bit of a dampener on things.
Every domestic flight cancelled....fog set to stay until Christmas...no flights....sleeping in tents..
Ok so I made the last bit up but hey!
I am due to fly to the UK on Sunday with my brood. Hearing things like that really worries you when you need to get home!
You see, all of my kids presents are in the UK. Just the kids. I am off in a minute to get the adults. Imagine if we don't get back...The kids will have nothing, in fact, see my earlier blog, they will get an orange!!!
But seriously, what would I do?
No idea. None whatsoever. I couldn't drive back, that would take 12 hours and not even be sure of getting on the train. I heard that the UK road network is snarled up this morning too (no surprise).
So, I am going to ring my friends at Ryanair and see if the will change my tickets free as they mentioned on their website this morning. If they say no, and our flights are cancelled, we are in danger of letting the Santa truth out once and for all..and that, won't be easy to tell!

It confuses me! Every day, another advert..only xxx number of days left to get your presents. You go online, there are even less, who leaves it to the last minute these days?
Is it just me?
I've got nothing yet. Actually, that is a lie. I got my sons lego starwars thing posted to the UK a few weeks back.
For the rest of my family, you are going to have to wait and see! See what is in the shops tomorrow. My guess is that they'll get (from me) a big bowl of nuts, couple of oranges (just like the old days)..
Wait a second, did you really get a couple of oranges and a few nuts? I would love to have some fact here on this. I reckon that the nuts would have been expensive, if life was like that, didn't the dad make stuff out of wood? A gun for example? I grant you, that is a good gun!
Christmas can't have been anything to look forward to, eat an old bit of bird, couple of veg, an orange a couple of nuts. no...I don't believe it. Dad or Mum must have made something?
My Dad would have made me something, he did in the 70's, we weren't hard up, he made me things..
So come on then, what did you really get?

So, I work in an office and get bored too!
Every Friday afternoon, I am going to post a question, please add a comment and let me know what you think the answer is.
This week, as it is Christmas soon, I thought it would be topical!
Q. Who invented lights to go on Christmas Trees, What year and What country?
It is an easy one (because you are going to use google!!) so, please answer, subscribe to my blog by clicking the orange thing on the right, and next week i'll post a difficult one every day (as nobody is really working next week are they!!!).
