Christmas Eve

so only one more sleep until Christmas.

Realising I had forgotten a couple of things I headed into town this morning, surprisingly quiet. Went into Woolworths for probably the last time ever - very sad, fond memories of getting pic and mix from there before heading to the theatre or cinema. I guess that says it all though fond memories from childhood but Woolies has been overtaken by the internet for most things.

So I have 2 ill people at home both Stuart and sam have stinking colds, hope they feel better tomorrow and me and Alex can avoid it long enough to enjoy Christmas!

Just made sausage rolls to take to mums tomorrow - Stuart nearly collapsed in shock, baking is not something I tend to do.

This afternoon we are heading off to the crib service at our local church then we will come back, snuggle in front of the Tv and watch chrstmas films for the evening.

Have a very merry Christmas everyone.

finished work!

Woohoo finished work now until 5th January. Christmas starts right here!

Getting ready for christmas

Well i spent 4 hours in town today mooching round the shops finishing off my christmas shopping, was wonderful, not as busy as i expected although Woolworths was packed. I am very impressed at how cheerful all the staff were considering they do not know what their future holds!

Now all I am doing is waiting for about £100 worth of stuff from Amazon to arrive. According to the website it should all be here tuesday! Fingers crossed.

I have taken holiday from work this year so after Friday 19th no more work for me until 5th january! wooohoooo

So when we put up the christmas tree samantha was in charge of the camera mostly, when i looked back over the photos it seemed she had spent a lot of time photographing herself at arms length. I have to say though there are some lovely photos.

Scary how quickly she is growing up!

Nearly Christmas!

The Christmas Tree is up it's nearly christmas woohooo!

We put the Christmas tree up on Sunday,











Now all I have to do is write my christmas cards and finish the christmas shopping!

woohooo

Got a letter this morning from our mortgage company - ING Direct - our mortgage has dropped by £100 a month due to the latest interest rate drop!!! Much love to ING for passing this cut on.

Going out tonight for a friends 40th birthday, heading to a chinese, Stuart is driving - yay. Well he had to do something to get back in my good books, yesterday he had a black tie dinner with work, he got home at 0130 but found he had forgotten his key!!!!!!!!!!! considering I had been in dreamland since about 11pm I was not amused.

Good job I love him that's all I can say.

Where has the time gone!

Well yet again i have been slacking in my blogging exploits. This past weekend I went to Nottingham to stay with some friends so we could all head off to the NEC for the Hobbycraft show, they were also kind enough to put my mum up!

Tony cooked some fantastic food over the weekend and was a wonderful host in keeping us stocked up with food and drink (although he was a bit stingy with the chocolate :P)

It was great to see them again.

Spent a fair amount of money at the craft show but not as much as I could have. Journey back from Nottingham was really good traffic was light and there was no rain!

When i got home we all sat down and watched merlin from saturday - I absolutely love that programme.

Today dawned cold and wet, what a wonderful start to the week! Anyone else hate mondays?
