Ok, let me set the scene....
I love Christmas,
I love my wife,
I love buying presents for her,
Considering all of the above you'd think that this would be a great time of the year for me and yes you'd be right!
All except one little part of it that is.............wrapping the blooming things!
It's not that I don't want to do it, I just find it's something I'm particularly rubbish at doing.
I've built up some "present rules" over the years such as always buying easily wrappable ready-boxed items, not to mention getting wrapping paper that has lines printed on it to assist my cutting out! Hell, I've even now got a sellotape dispenser from the Betterware lady!
Despite all this every year I end up with a pile of presents for my wife that look that our five year old godson could have wrapped up. Actually that's probably doing him a disservice as well !
Anyway, tonight's the night for the annual nightmare as she's out singing and I'm currently poised with scissors, wrapping paper, labels, bows etc etc
So wish me luck and any tips gratefully received!
