Todays vlog is called Surprise office Christmas makeover. Aka scraping the barrel for vlog footage.
The vlog starts with Sarah and Chris saying good morning and babbling in different cars. Chris idea of fancy editing I’m guessing.
Back with Chris in his car and he’s been to the doctors with a bad back. He must have that special bad back that still allows him to throw his tubby arse along the pole at Morrisons on his skates pretty much daily.
It sounds sciatica-ish according to Chris. Sounds more like tonsillitis to me creepy.
He couldn’t put his socks on this morning so I’m guessing granny troll has had to dress him today. He’s got some pain killers and he’s waiting for tests.
Back in the other car with Sarah now and bloody hell she’s getting her money’s worth out of that sequin jumper.
Sarah mentions they’ve only got a week left until their little Christmas adventure to where they're staying this Christmas. She’s off to meet Katrina.
Back in the car with creepy and he says he’s about to rock up and head out to the office to do a ton of stuff. Sarah’s joining him later. Probably when everything has already been packaged by Jane while Chris snuggles up in the corner wrapped on a baby and me blanket. She’ll be able to do the more important things like decorate her office door.
Sarah, Katrina and Jace are at the trinity centre. Sarah shoves a toy monkey in Jaces face and cackles. He looks like he hates it and pushes it away. If it’s got a reduced sticker on it I’m guessing she’ll buy it him anyway.
A quick shot of katrinas toy filled baskets.
Sarah has spotted some clueless stuff in primark. She asks the ifam if they remember the movie. She sounds excited when she notices a reduced sticker on the backpack. “FIVER!” The bum bags (Fanny packs for our American tattlers.) have been reduced to £3 so “I’m sorry Isabelle but I’m going to have to send one to Santa for you. Even though you’ve not watched the movie.” She‘ll buy anything that’s been reduced. That poor girl can’t have her own style because her selfish mother is trying to relive her teen years through her. Think about what isabelle would like Sarah and not you.
Sarah’s primark paper bag has ripped open. “Who invented paper bags?” she says. Maybe people like the one who wrote the isla saves the ocean book Sarah.
Creepy is at the office. He comes out of one room and closes it. “I’m just going to pretend that room doesn’t exist because it’s a bit messy.” He walks into another office and Esme and Isla are sitting on chairs and eating crisps. Isla says it’s freezing and Esme looks bored. Granny troll and Sarah are on the way to join them so they can work on a secret project that’s going to be hilarious according to creepy. (Imagine being that boring you call decorating an office door a secret project so you can sound a bit more interesting?)
Isla tells the ifam she did her nativity at school today and then won first prize in pass the parcel at her Christmas party.
Sarah’s back in the office. She’s been to hobby craft because they’ve got something really important to do today. “win the annual Office Christmas decorated door competition.” She says. It’s the winning that counts says Sarah and then adds just joking. Kinda not. I want the win. She’s not just decorating the door she’s doing the whole corridor and turning it into a retro home. Bloody hell she’ll do anything to try and get a freebie. It’s going to take all night so “girls are you ready?”
Sarah says they’re stuck at the first hurdle. They have no idea how to turn a cardboard box into a fireplace. They don’t have scissors strong enough to cut it and they don’t have duct tape. Old tonsillitis back is probably too poorly to rip it so I’m guessing Jane will have to step up.
Creepy is in the corridor resting his back by putting tartan wrapping paper on the corridor walls. They’ve abandoned the fireplace idea and sarah‘s hoping to get inspiration after they’ve decorated it first. The girls are playing inside boxes and then Sarah gives them a job to make paper chains for the retro house corridor/door.
Sarah isn’t happy. Two of the four sets of lights she bought aren’t working now. She’s claiming that she’s burnt her finger on one of the batteries. “It was scalding hot and scary.” #PoundShopCompoClaim #DesperateTimes
They now have a cardboard fireplace stuck to the door. Chris looks pissed off. He’s only put about two strips of wrapping paper up. Sarah tells him to do the rest. He’s standing on a chair now giving his bad back a good stretch while he wraps the walls. He”s doing well for a man who couldn’t put his socks on this morning.
Sarah‘s in the corridor saying they’ve had to give up and go home because it’s so late. The girls have school tomorrow and they have Jace there too. They’re finishing it tomorrow.
Montage of the corridor and door. It looks tacky and shite imo. Sarah’s pointing at the fire extinguishers and saying ”we’re at a slight disadvantage because we have this thing here which we didn’t want to cover up and I don’t even think it would be legal to cover it up.
Yeah it would be slightly inconvenient if a fire started and people had to unwrap the fire extinguishers Sarah.
Chris goes into isabelles room. She’s watching something with Jace on the laptop. Chris jokes that he and Sarah have decided that Isabelle has to move into their room and they will have her room because it’s the cosiest bedroom in the entire world.
Chris ends the vlog in the kitchen because he doesn’t want anybody to hear him. he says “come back tomorrow because it’s gonna be mega and the girls are gonna freak out so bad so come back tomorrow at 5pm.” It’ll be part two of the door decorating.
