did you know that it's only 52 sleeps until xmas...

and you are wondering how the fuck i know this???

well i called my sister today, to talk to my nephew, but she answers first...she asks me how i am (see i had an IUD put in friday) and i say ok - bar some minor discomfort on the weekend all good - in the background my nephew is asking her what we are talking about - she replies 'secret women's business'...so a few minutes later when i am ready to talk to him he says "i don't want to talk about aunty's vagina"...funny kid that one!

so we get talking about secrets and the reason i called was to ask him what colour mp3/ipod he wants - i give him the colours it comes in and he tells me what his preference is - of course i do all this without actually telling him what i am getting him...despite his constant pestering...

so then i tell him a secret: i tell him that for xmas i am buying his grandmother (my mum) a suitcase...he says he doesn't think she will like that but agrees to keep it a secret anyway...so then i tell both my mum and dad i've told him this 'secret' and they are to let me know if he tells them

now i'm not a betting woman (well not usually - tomorrow i will make an exception) but i would bet a stack of cash the little guy will not be able to keep this secret...we'll see!

so then we get back to his secret xmas present and he really wants to know when i will tell him - so i count the days to xmas on the calendar in my study as i'm chatting to him and finally say 'ok i'll tell you in 52 sleeps'...he groans

sooooo you see, that is how i know there are 52 sleeps until xmas
