Absolute Write Water Cooler a forum that I go to is holding a poetry competition. Though I know I won’t win or anything I think it should be a bit of fun to enter though I’m not sure what I’ll put forward. I have some time till the deadline, the fifteenth of December so plenty of time. I do have a rough one that needs a lot of work which I can start this weekend if I can squeeze it in. I have some overtime tomorrow that I agreed to before finding out about the competition. It’s not so bad though I do have to get up really early to get the bus. It being Saturday I have to walk down to the station to get it as well, which is a twenty minute walk at best. There aren’t any buses up my way until the same time the one I have to get leaves the station. I know it is a bit of a pain but that is the Saturday service for you. Normally if I was getting the bus during the week I would just have to walk five minutes to get the early bus a few streets away. Well the overtime cash will help with Christmas getting closer as we are all being reminded regularly through the TV ads at the moment.
Of course as you know I have Magz’s gifts in already. One she has knows about and uses the other hidden away for the day. Still Magz is doing the rest of the shopping that comes this time of year for family and friends. I don’t know how she manages on our budget. There was a time when it was me that kept house when she worked. That was when the kids were still young. But even then it was her who organised the Christmas shop. I’ve always been rubbish at it. Well tomorrow might just help her out and when I get home I can start work on that poem.
