Boxing Day Sales

Have you been to the sales
or was Christmas shopping enough?
Did you think you might but on
Boxing day you were feeling a bit rough?
Was there an item that Santa did
not bring?
Or things that need returning ‘cause
they are just not your thing?

My friend got up at some ungodly
hour
To swoop on Next their bargains to
devour
She arrived 10 minutes after they
opened up their door
To find all the racks empty but crowds
of Muslim ladies sitting on the floor

Where were all the bargains all she
could see were Santa type clothes
Then she noticed on the floor sat
ladies with bags packed and overflowed
As they sorted through all the items they
had scooped from the rails
She realized that they had the Next sale
nailed

So back home to her bed empty handed
she did go
Deciding this was the last time that to the
Next sale she would show
Whilst I off to town to exchange an item
of wrong size
Also noticed that the shops were full of
Muslim ladies who are obviously wise

Christmas is not their religious festival so no
presents to be bought in time for the day
They can wait for Boxing Day sales and
get great bargains that way
Trollies and bags overflowing in Primark
they were going mad
No doubt it’s a great shopping day for them
look at all the bargains to be had

So no more bargain hunting for me until
the New Year
I cannot be bothered to wade through the
clutter I just don’t care
I will leave it to the veiled ladies who seem
to have it all sussed
Because Boxing Day Sales well I am really
just not fussed

Christmas Check List

Have you sorted your cards are your
presents all wrapped?
Or are you starting to feel like a rat
in a trap?
Is the Christmas cake made and
has it been decorated?
Or are you not bothering this year
‘cause cake is overrated?

Have you planned all the pre Christmas
visits which you need to do?
To deliver cards and gifts which are
from you
Is the turkey in the deep freeze and did
you mange to fit it in?
Or did you have to make room and put
things in the bin?

Have you put up your tree hoping the
lights will not blow?
Have you got spare bulbs so that you
don’t lose that Christmas glow?
Have you got some spare cards with
stamps on to go?
Because you always get some from
folk you hardly know

What about your house is it spick and
span?
Because don’t think Santa will not notice
just ‘cause he’s a man
Have you got a general gift ready wrapped
just in case?
You are surprised by a prezzie and you don’t
want to lose face

I am sure you are organized or if not
you soon will be
Because it’s what woman do they are
pretty wonderful you see
So once you have check listed all your
Christmas chores my friend
Settle down to a day full of hype, cooking,
excited kids etc until Christmas day once more ends....

Flu Jab

I had my flu jab yesterday
It did not hurt when she did it
by the way
But by bedtime it was sore a bit
that I could not lie down on it

But if it prevents a flu epidemic
coming my way
I will suffer a sore arm for a day
I have had flu several times you
see
It seems to like clinging to me

My friend says she has never had
flu
I am gobsmacked at this - are you?
But another friend who did not get
her shot last year
Landed in hospital with bad flu and
needed special care

Mind I have not had the pneumonia
one
I think two at once is really not on
So if you have a sore arm with
your jab like me
Just think of the benefits a flu jab
can be ...

Mind Of It's Own

It’s hot today I have heard folk say
We are not prepared for this kind of day
But by it’s grand to see so many folk out
enjoying the sun
In their summer togs designed for holiday
fun

How long will it take the water companies to
cry
We have had no rain so water is in short supply
Maybe they should keep more stocks here at home
Instead of selling it off to every foreign zone

So get your cars washed and the garden well wet
Pip them to the post - off your mark get set
Time whizzes past at a galloping pase
Summer will have gone so make great haste

Barbeques out even if you are sick of eating burnt food
It’s compulsory when the weather is this good
Take the kids to the beach with a thousand other folk
Trying to find a parking space at a sunny beach is a joke

Holiday is pending you have saved for it all year
To fly to a far flung destination ensuring the sun will be there
Had you known that the sun was capable of staying at home
Then you could have done the same - weather it has a mind of it’s own

Remember Father's Day

When I was a child on Mothering Sunday my
father would always say
Why is there not a Father’s Day?
Now in America Father’s Day was started in 1908
But it was not until the 1970’s that the UK celebrated
a Father’s Day

I am so very glad that dad got to see
A Father’s Day arrive so he could get gifts from me
However it has never reached the same height as
Mother’s Day
However much advertising it does not seem to have
gone the same way

So if you have a dad to remember on Father’s Day
Please remember my dad who used to say....
“When are they going to make a Father’s Day?”
Well now they have done so please send your dad a card
with a nice verse to say.......

Thatcher Style

Apparently the latest hair craze is the
Maggie Bouffant
Sounds a bit mad and not a style that
I would want
I have heard it said it portrays a person
of power
Maybe that’s because it’s piled up like
a tower

The manufacturers of hair spray must be
very pleased
As it will take a can to keep up all the hair
that is teased
And makers of combs will also be in line for
an up
As you cannot backcomb hair with a rake or
a brush

It always seemed an old fashioned style to me
Seen on the queen or older dignities
But as we all know fashion goes around and around
So maybe there will soon be lots of Maggie’s barnets to
be found

Game Apps

To all my facebook friends .....

Kindly note - I only play app games when my grandson
forces me to
‘Cause it’s not something I like to do
I can find a lot more interesting ways to use my time
But if you like these games then that’s fine

But game requests please do not send to me
Because I will ignore them as you will see
They leave me cold I would rather read a book
But I don’t blame you if you are hooked

I do have some games on my kindle I admit
But it’s for the benefit of my grandson - he uses it
You will not catch me playing a game on facebook - Oh no
Because as I have said before game requests sorry I just
don’t want to know
