Bloody Christmas present wrapping. How many did we buy for the kids this year FFS????
The time arrived for us to carry out the chore of wrapping the presents. Me on one side of the tableand Alex on the other, surrounded by a mountain of presents and a rainforest of wrapping paper. The first hour just flew past in a flurry of Christmas joviality…………………that is how it should have but, since coming out of hospital, I am a right miserable bastard and bah humbug was emanating from me.
After another half hour Alex pulled the “I have a headache. Do you mind if I go lay down as you carry on?”
Do I mind? Do I fecking mind????? I detest wrapping presents. I hace difficulty wrapping them……..did I mention I detest wrapping presents?
So I said to Alex “Of course not dear. You go and lay your head down and I will carry on” Big smile and keep smiling while she exits room.
I look at the huge pile. Oh bollox.
I start working through the Everest sized pile. After two hours I am starting to get very pissed off and very, very, very bloody bored with wrapping.
1. Pick up silk pyjamas.
2. Place on Christmas wrapping paper.
3. Fold into middle of one side and fold into middle of opposite side.
4. Stick down with cellotape.
5. Turn through 90 degrees and cut off excess.
6. Fold into two triangles and stick down with cellotape.
7. Turn through 180 degrees and fold two triangles again and stick for the last time.
8. Place present on pile.
9. Remove excess Christmas paper wrap and put in bin.
10. Remove silk cloth and put in bin.
11. What silk cloth??? Oh fecking hell. I have cut the bastard leg off the pyjamas.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rip open present and note that the pyjamas now only have one leg. What can I do????
The answer is easy. I cut the other leg off and re-wrap the pyjamas. Hopefully they may think it was a pair of shorts that was supposed to be the present.
Thank feck Alex doesn’t read the forums anymore
