WOW, the Marlands shopping centre really does know how to launch Christmas. I was there on Thursday evening along with all the woodland creatures, Robin Hood and Maid Marion, to switch on the fabulous festive lights. It really is my favourite way to start feeling like Santa is on his way, especially when I hear Bitterne Park Primary school who were wonderful singing all the Chistmassy songs, I had something in my eye during Away in a Manger.
Stickers, the bane of my life, I find the little blighters everywhere because I have a little girl who loves the things. Never content with a picture of her favourite Disney Princess, we have to get the ones that will cling to any piece of furniture too. As I take the washing from the machine, they all fall out like flipping confetti. My heart skipped a beat a couple of days ago when my 3 year old daughter, Lois, shouted up the stairs “Mummy I've put the trolls’ stickers on the ....” The what? The fire? The dog? The postman? So far this week I have found a unicorn stuck to the bath, A minion on my leg and a Shrek on the loo. And never forgetting the ones that have become a story to be told on her 18th birthday, the array of Anna’s and Elsa’s that I found glued to the bonnet of my car! I’m sure it won’t affect the price if I decide to sell my Nissan on; I just need to find a family that are mad into Disney’s Frozen.
