test that the Nintendo Wii works (all in the name of avoiding an early morning disappointment, obviously) ..... first things first though, where did I put that Sherry ........
on second thoughts ..... It looks a bit complicated .... those cables will never fit neatly back in their boxes...... I'll leave it til the morning.
Oi!! The only person who'll be setting it all up in the morning will be a woman!! Mr F is even worse than me with tecnical stuff!
RE: Oi!! I'll be sure to check with you about how easy it is, when you have 2 impatient kids breathing down your neck whilst you're trying to set it up. ... whilst your nursing the usual Christmas hand injury, having shredded yourself on wires & plastic packaging in attempt to urgently get kids toy from box so they can play with it ... oh you've got it all to come!!! (Actually the setting up doesn't look too difficult - it was just the putting it all back in the box with cables neat & tidty that looked an impossible proposition
Wait til the kids have gone to bed Set up the Wii, have a play on it, leave it out with box open and some ripped wrapping paper nearby and tell the kids Santa must have had a play with it!
Yes i have got it all to come but not yet!! And i grant you that about putting it back in box neat. Now that is a masterclass of its own
In all seriousness Christmas day with kids - you just can't beat it for pure joy. Even though you're up at the crack of dawn, and aren't quite ready for the noise level, it is absolutely brilliant.
