  • The light show at RHS was enjoyable and the weather was ideal, went for a Xmas meal after with a friend. Thursday in the big town , met my friend , we had lunch and some shopping. Friday was shopping day and cleaning. This morning been to the cemetery to make my brothers gave Christmassy , miss him every year , sadly he died at age 28 . Am back home now and getting ready to go to lunch with DS , his partner , ex hubby and myself.its my birthday tomorrow and exs was Thursday so ideal . 
    Tonight i intend watching strictly final maybe with a glass of wine. Tomorrow for my birthday, breakfast with parents , then off to DDs for cake and see the DGD on my birthday. A very busy week but well worth the effort , I love the run up to Christmas but prefer a quiet Christmas Day . 

    Money seems to be going well and it's payday on Wednesday and Friday respectively. 
    Looking forward to making plans for 2025.

  •  Work done for this week, I am working Monday and Christmas Eve until 12pm, then I am off until the 13th January . Today I am going spending some off my birthday money on new boots , my black ones have served many years and need replacing . This afternoon is school Carol Concert in church , I do enjoy these . I will bring the DGC home with me then until DD finishes work. 
    That's me off to get ready and tidy up before I depart.

  • Bought my new boots really pleased with them. Went to the school Carol concert in the afternoon. Yesterday took mum to a hospital appointment. Then home and finally wrapped all my presents up, then off to swimming with the DGC . Today is toy day at school , so going into play for an hour or so, this afternoon is housework time. 
    Most people are off now for 2 weeks , so imagine the roads will be busy later.

    The roads were horrendous. Took an hour to get to my brothers….we can do it in 20 minutes. There’s a c@stco en route which caused a lot of the problems as we came off the motorway with vehicles queuing to get in. What a silly place to put the entrance 🤬
    Have a lovely Christmas 🎅🏼👍
