Christmas tree.

I decided I needed to bake more Christmas cakes so off I went , yes with a shopping list. Now half way round the supermarket I discovered they'd sold out of marzipan with that my brain just disappeared. So what did I do, I bought a Christmas tree. Yes I already have a Christmas tree Sat in the loft but it's covered in spiders. I hate spiders. Said tree , 2 meters high, is put in the car, no roof rack. Every time I go round a corner it hits me and deposits more needles in the car. Drag it out off the car more needles. Into the garage to fix it into the log/ stand, hole too small, push and shove yes more needles. Struggle it through the house leaving a trail of more needles. Take off the elastic netting, yes you guessed it needles have now exploded around the living room.
Now the lights, hunt out the box , test before putting on the tree thinking these are surely not the right lights, but the box saves Christmas lights, OMG only one set works. Off to buy more lights. Turn up at my basket making class an hour late with my Christmas lights. Home and on the tree. Next morning out comes the box of decorations and what do I find... the Christmas lights.
So now I have a blocked Hoover, more Christmas lights than I know what to do with, three cats who think theyve a scratching post and yes the dam marzipan that started it all.frustrated

Yes Christmas trees can be very messy, and I hope your Hoover is now working. I remember on one of your blogs.....Give me a break.....I don't think your day was as bad as that one laugh
True it wasn't as bad as the last blog lol. Yes Hoover ok now as least I could do it myself this time, last time the shop had to do it and found loads of gravel in it.confused
1to, I thought after baking 10 cakes I was done, pfff it was another 3 now I just have to sit and ice 13.
Molly the girls have given me a sash 'miss catastrophe' hate to say it, it's true.
Loads of gravel confused I am not even going to ask laugh
Wen that's what my husband said when he came home and caught me hovering the drive. rolling on the floor laughing
French women don't know how to make a decent cake this marzipan is not right at all has to be almond icing and then the royal icing just to put you straight
Awww!
But you know! There is a new style of Christmas trees in style now.

The tree hangs / turns the tree upside down. Still have lights or just decorations on them!

Just saying!

Anyway! I Know that had you going and tired.

But The Holidays Keep A Person Busy......cheers
stuff you buy is not same as what you make ..nice made almond icing is much nicer than that oul marzipan im an expert in this field
Life presents challenges---then we die. Aa-VKH.
