Lovely Christmas tree. Bet the gks enjoyed helping you. I’ve just had a look around the avenue 6 out of the 10 houses have their decorations up. We’re usually a mid December lot around here 😂
Ive just put the film Last Christmas on.....or should I say dh has put it on 😂😂😂😂 it’s because our Now TV offer finishes on 1st December 😂😂😂 think he’s going soft in his old age 😂
It really is a dark miserable day....I lay in bed this morning contemplating getting up for the builder who was due at 8. It was really dark....the phone rang and he was outside waiting. I thought it was still around 7 as it was pitch black in the bedroom.....so I had to do a dressing gown dash to let him in 😂😂😂January spends - £587.583 -
Your Christmas tree looks really nice Sunshinegirl 🎄. There's nothing like it for cheering the place up. I think everyone is putting their decorations up early this year, I've never done ours in November before but I started last weekend and have finished today 🎅.
I'm sorry to hear about your SIL and hope there are treatment options for her.
I need to sort some photos out as I have about a thousand of mine and most of my mum's so about two thousand altogether. I think I'll be retired before I have time to sort that lot out 🙄.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

I have never put my decorations up this early either, but the tree lights are lovely and I have just finished watching Xmas film number 2 , I think three might be overkill.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.4

What a lovely little tree 🎄 I usually put mine up the first weekend in December but I’m early this year, need some Christmas cheer. It’s been very gloomy here today too.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Did another long walk today , met an old colleague whilst out and had a good chat, she lost her husband to Covid in May and still finds it hard to believe he has gone.Ironing done and put away , and that has been my day . Caught up on tv this afternoon. Had a quick visit from DD and DGC needed some craft bits of me for DGS 's homework.My dad still isn't well ,they are phoning the doctor tomorrow.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.5

My Christmas tree is the trashy version, full of baubles from places we have visited , ones bought for the kids and ones family have given us over the years.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.4

Sad news about the colleague’s husband. I hope your dad will be ok, fingers crossed 🤞I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Also hope your dad is ok. It must be so hard for the lady. Isolation as well as grieving.
Decorations are a bit of a thing in our family. Whenever we go abroad, we try to get one so it reminds us of a certain holiday. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330
