It's so lovely knowing you have the money put aside to pay for Christmas presents . I'm sure you'll enjoy Christmas much more because of this.

I'm going to put up my Christmas lights in the living room hall and kitchen tomorrow. Then if I have time I'll put up the Christmas trees too, although the big one probably won't get done until Sunday. The decorations do make you feel more cheerful .

Having the money does certainly take the pressure off Hairy

I'm loving sitting here with my tree up,it's a shame we can't do photos on here

Happy December the 1st everyone,I have the weekend off so I met my mum yesterday for lunch which was nice, then I came home and made a start on the cross stitch I am giving my friend for Christmas hopefully

This morning I've stripped and washed my duvet and it's now blowing in the wind on the line, hopefully I will be able to just put it straight back on the bed, it's my fluffy one and I love using it in the winter

I needed some corn for the chickens so I took the dog for her walk along the river this morning to our local pet shop and bought that, so that killed two birds with one stone,I bought the dog a chewy stick which h she carried home really excitedly

We have done an online shop this weekend because neither of us want to go shopping and we took the opportunity to buy heavy stuff like dog food, cat litter and the alcohol for Christmas,it's due this afternoon so I'm waiting for that to arrive while

I'm just having a cup of tea while I catch up here and then I'm planning on sewing for the afternoon, it's a lovely sunny crisp day here today so I'm feeling motivated to do something creative

Just one little sad note,I came home from the pet shop on the bus and there is a dead badger on our road,someone must have hit it after I went out with the dog because it wasn't there when I left, I could have cried when I saw the poor thing,I don't know how anyone managed to hit it in broad daylight because they are huge, it's weird that it was out in the day time too,I hope it isn't one of the family that visit my garden😢

Very sad about the badger... I never manage to see them. Perhaps it was sick? That might explain it being out in the day.

That is sad about the badger. I'm glad you've got sunshine, we have too. I bet the dog enjoyed her walk in the sunshine .

I'm wondering if it was sick,I couldn't see any obvious injuries but it was definitely dead:(

I'm glad you had sunshine too, the dog loved her walk but not the bus journey home again,I would walk back but the chicken corn is too heavy to carry

Well that was a productive day, my duvet dried so I've remade my bed,I've also washed all the dog blankets and got them dry too

The shopping arrived in good time so I was able to make bolognese for tea,I'm hooked on this at the moment because they vege mince I'm buying is soooooo good,I also like pasta as it's so filling and keeps me going for ages

I've spent the afternoon sewing my cross stitch and Iistening to podcasts,I've managed to get quite a bit done,I stopped to cook tea and because my back was getting a bit stiff, I've just got to walk the dog again and I might do some more

I'm working tomorrow so need to go to bed at a reasonable time,I've got Tuesday off as usual then a late on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday off and working Saturday,I'm going to do some Christmas shopping on Thursday, if I get my act together I could actually get it all done in one day, it's late night shopping so I won't need to rush home and I might even go to the Christmas market for some Glog

Can't believe you managed to line-dry laundry today, OBL! It's been so cold here, the car roof was icy again at 4.30 pm!
Hope you get your gift finished in time.

It was freezing cold but also a bit windy so that helped, all the cars were frozen in the morning

I'm over using the dryer and I know it. I really need to stop to be honest, but need to get little ones clothes dry for school. I will need to slow it down though and rely on the clothes horse. x
