It's hard, when you live abroad, to buy Christmas presents for your family. Either you have to order them online (and suffer the exchange rate) or you have to post them (at huge shipping cost) or, as is the case this year, make sure you have bought everyone something and find room for it in your suitcases! I have a busy week trying to get us all organized as we fly home on Saturday for 3 weeks.
That said, I'm really looking forward to going home for Christmas this year, not least because I think we all need a break from doing up the house!
I was going to pop to the mall this morning to finish up my present shopping but H had a major meltdown so instead I am stuck with painting skirting boards in the new playroom... joy!
