And relax

Well it’s over dearies.

Santa and the reindeers presented our proposal to the lovely children of the world this morning and it’s all in the Lapland of the gods. Whether we win or lose, we won’t have to go through all that again for another 100 years. And thank the heavens for that, with the declaration of interest, two part PPQ done PDQ but not on the QT, case studies and credentials, invitation to tender, proposal and presentation I need to lie down in a darkened room for at least a year. I’d like to offer my sincerest thanks to each and every one of you. Now I just need to vent a little spleen. Who would have thought that it would be possible to write an entire 774 page brief to deliver presents to the children of the world, without ever once mentioning that they wanted us to deliver presents to the children of the world? It would appear from some of the curious language and sentence construction that the children of the world had reached beyond the grave and asked for input from Spike Milligan and Edward Lear on drafting this beauty. And the misspelling of sleigh provoked three wasted hours of creative thought showering where we actually came up with a number of gruesome, but surprising creative and well thought out, ways to off large numbers of little ones in their sleep. But as I said – it’s all over.

Santa and the reindeer have all hit the boozer for a little celebration as a reward for all their hard work. I ask you. I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if I’d gone on that date with a young Doctor Doolittle. I tell you a life of doing little would be right up my street at this point in time. Anyway, enough of my what ifs – thanks again and take a well deserved rest. Fingers crossed we’ll all be extremely busy tomorrow. I’ll be in touch with the decision.

Much love.

Mrs C.
