Ha-ha, my posts / life is so chaotic at the moment that I've probably made it sound as though the 'mini break' is this weekend, but it's actually not until another 2 months time!!!
This week-end is a B&G trip followed by a very high mountain climb.
Have now commenced Xmas shopping in earnest, but doing it from 'carry forwards' rather than Xmas money where possible. Have got DD's gorgeous shoes from New Look sale, and DH large box of razor blades on special offer in ASDA. Have also got him largest can of his favourite fresh coffee. All safely stored away. Of course, these are all MSE hints and tips off of the Grabbit forums!!!
My new wellies arrived today (another MSE block-buster) which were my Mums bday prez to me (okay, I know it's another 3 months away!!!), and they are utterly gorgeous. I wonder if I could get away with wearing them to bed tonight???0 -
Oh, I thought it was your 'mini-break' this weekend
Well done with your Xmas shopping - your soo organised!
Having never slept in wellies I have no idea how comfortable they would beCurrently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck

Starting to mildly thaw ... has been a really rough couple of days with more sadness than smiles! Hopefully this week will be better. Singley's holiday (the saved up for one) takes place next week - maybe that's the issue?0 -
