Script of the recording:
Don’t know if you can
remember me saying last week that I just hadn’t got anything sorted.
I’ve been busy. But
this week I have made some great, big strides in that direction.
So I finally booked a
woman to put my tree up and my dec’s. Before youse all come forth and want my
head on a spike – I’m sorry! I know... I’m sorry... I know I should do it
myself, I know it’s the magic of Christmas, and all that. But I love going home
to it all done. Just like the elves did it, you know? That’s what I love.
And we’ve gone for red
and blue. I did want browns and neutrals, which I know, again, is not very
Christmassy, but I fancied a really aesthetic vibe. But apparently I’m not the
only one and they’ve all sold out, wholesaler had nothing.
So I’m going very
tradish’ – red, blue, it’s a bit of a Ralph Lauren feel, but it is lovely and
I’m very excited. More excited about the fact that I don’t have to do it
myself, if I’m honest.
