Grateful, hope you are having a lovely day xxx

I'm absolutely shattered as I ended up going out with my best friend and her sister to Maidstone Can't believe I spent 3 hours walking around HobbyCraft..admittedly I did buy some gorgeous sewing bits. Then we did battle with Asda Living where I bought presents, then on the drive home we stopped at Notcutts garden centre and bought yet more presents, plus a couple of ornaments for the tree

Now chilling with a grape spritzer and watching Four Christmases on Movies channel

Hugs and love to everyone, xxxx

Studying is going slowly I have done 460 words - only 3500 to go!:eek: I have had enough for tonight, so i am going to bed, and starting again tomorrow.

Dog has been walked, DH has nearly finished the window frames in the LR (will have to finish in the week, or next weekend). DW done, dog bedding washed and dried. Ping dinners tonight as i couldn't be bothered to cook

Tomorrow, I need to do a food shop. I need to make sure I have extra food in this week, as I will probably have more kids for longer on Wednesday due to the strikes.

Hugs & spoons to all that need them. Night night all.

Morning All

I'm awake early again but at least not as horrendously early as the last 2 mornings. Just going to unload and reload the WM and TD seeing as DH didn't bother yesterday while I was out. Then there's a load of ironing to be done as usual so I may make a start on that.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Personal Challenges :starmod:

Monday Pollyanna Day


Tuesday Go outside Day

Wednesday Health Check
When life is busy it is easy to forget to keep an eye on your own health but it is so important. So today I want those breasts checked ladies and I can think of no excuses.

Thursday Feet glorious Feet
Feet work so hard and so unloved. Today exercise yours. How high can you lift your toes? Can you lift individual toes? Keeping your feet on the floor try to move your big toes towards each other. Use a spare rolling pin or tennis ball to massage the soles of your feet. Can you pick up small items like beanbags with your feet? Get the kids involved too.
Treat them to a soak and moisturise (your feet not the kids). Foot treat products make great gifts.

Friday Keep in Contact
Phone somebody you haven’t spoken to in ages and make their day. Don’t wait until Christmas to send a card asking how they are, do it in person. For those of you who will struggle with this go and read a bit of a board on here you have never visited. You don’t have to post.

Weekend Unfinished business
How many of you have projects half finished? Knitting that needs making up, books started but not finished, decorating all but the finishing touches done. By leaving these things almost there we are denying ourselves the joy of seeing a finished product, the satisfaction of standing back and saying “it’s done”. This weekend try to get one thing which you have already started and has been pending completion finished for good.




Preparing for Christmas Challenges:rudolf:

Monday dates
Advent starts next Thursday, have you got your calendars or candles?

Tuesday outfits


Wednesday season of goodwill and forgiveness

Thursday Festive Food
Although stir up Sunday has just passed it’s not too late to make a pudding or a cake. My fantastic pudding recipe can be made just a week in advance. Have you got all the recipes and ingredients you need for any festive dishes? Cake boards and decorations to hand? Chocolate Yule logs are fun for kids and those who love chocolate.

Friday Festive Drinks
Have a think about drinks over the festive period. Mulled wine, Bucks Fizz, fruit cocktails, fizzy water and red cordial, prosecco? Try something new. Check any glasses you will need over the festive period are clean and sparkling

Weekend Check your Lights
How does it happen that the lights are working fine when you put them away but mysteriously are no longer working when you get them back out 11 months later? Check all your Christmas lights this weekend and spend many a frustrating hour moving the bulbs around the string to ascertain which ones are faulty. A job to delegate if ever there was one!

But I can have another star and reindeer!

It's very windy here this morning so I think I'll stay in for most of the day although I do want to nip to Freeport later.

roundtuit

:wave: good morning everyone

Whew it's windy. And I believe those of you north and west of here are getting far windier weather. Do take care xx

I'm feeling the urge to sort again today. My goal is to empty two of those boxes from under the stairs today.

Have a good day. Hugs and spoons xx
