the aftermath

OK, remember my October rant 'The C Word....'? Good. Now read it again. I hate to sound smug, but I was right, wasn't I? All that stress and expense, and what did you end up with? A maxed out credit card, a house full of tired decorations, and a load of naff pressies. Well, don't say you weren't warned. And when you turn on the telly, a load of adverts trying to flog you all the stuff you bought last month, only at less than half price now, offers of free membership to Weightwatchers, and so many kinds of nictotine replacement stuff that you reach in desperation for the fags......The funny thing is, when you say to people 'Did you hve a good Christmas?' they say 'Well, you know......quiet.' I rest my case.
