It wasn’t expensive, just a little gold disc with a Pisces symbol from a place called Orelia.🙂
 

I did want to get an Aquamarine necklace too, but will just look online or in a local place when I get home.

Cover your ears @KajiKita, @beanielou gargle with TCP, it fended mine right off. Also zinc and vitamin C 

It probably just tasted so vile you didn't realise you were ill... 

WD40 for things, TCP for people, works most of the time 😂

Nooo! It's a degreaser, not a lubricant. If you use it on hinges repeatedly, they get squeaky and stiff - you need some 3-in-one oil! For dry joints like door locks (or the slide on a chemical toilet in a campervan [Ugh]) you need a can of silicone spray, used sparingly

This is the content I am here for.

Though fortunately I rarely do anything practical so not to worry 😁

I finished off my wreath and hung it. As requested @Cherryfudge, here is a photo. A couple of last minute sprigs of eucalyptus added for a nice smell

That is so lovely and calming, well done you

Today's jewellery is a gorgeous chunky silver and pearl bracelet. It was most cheering admiring it while I typed

Yesterday I made cinnamon buns & cupcakes with Xmas sprinkles on - treated the boys to ones from the bakery the other day and it cost me over £5 for 2 items so this is much more mse.

today I dug out the Xmas pjs so will pop those on later snuggle up with a hot chocolate(with cream & marshmellows for added Xmas vibe) and watch a Xmas movie

Ooo cinammon buns - so festive and homemade means MSE too.

today I chose a bright orangey jumper, a bright flowery scarf and red and orange earrings.  I haven't worn the earrings for 3 or 4 years so it was nice to see them again.  I think I'm paying homage to my favourite seasonal fruit, the humble satsuma.  

I also put on make-up and perfume.

the daily advent calendar candles are being lit every night.

Beautiful wreath @Suffolk_lass. I've saved that hazelnut cake recipe, @KajiKita - looks yum! 😋 Cracking lights at the railway, @EssexHebridean!


Work is crazy this week, so I'm not feeling very festive. I did put in a bright orangey-red jumper this morning (my trousers I'm wearing have a very thin orange-red line running through the material) but it was too big (I guess that's a good thing - I bought it a year ago and it was semi-snug) so swapped it out for a bright pink one. Have snowflake socks on, too. 

Other than that, I've done most of the Xmas quiz at work and eaten a lot of chocolate...
