Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet over the festive period.

Well there was all the hype, the excitement at the thought of Santa coming down my chimney, then I was hit by the dreaded norovirus. Not nice at all, and sort of ruined Christmas although tried to make the best of a bad situation lol. Still not back to 100%, but feeling an awful lot better.

Here’s to hoping the New Year will go well, without any viruses or bugs of any kind. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!! Looking forward to a great 2009!

Only one week to go until the big day and I must say I’m excited! Yes I’m such a big kid, I love Christmas! Being as this is my second Christmas related post, you have probably gathered that.

Well I’m all ready and waiting for Santa to fill my stockings (unless you want to in the mean time of course!). I put my tree up late this year, but it is all now done and looking pretty. I just wish I had outdoor lights, they are lovely as long as they are not too OTT of course. Will have to get some next year me thinks. Shopping is all done and presents are all wrapped, most also delivered to people I won’t see on Christmas Day. Not much else to do, apart from sit back and enjoy the festivities. I have been singing Christmas songs for the past week or so, and just can’t stop singing or humming them which I’m sure is more than slightly irritating to those in earshot lol.

Well I hope you are all prepared, or is it more like the last minute rush?? Or worse are you a bah humbug kind of person (shame on you if you are!). But whatever you are doing I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Take care,

Well it’s just about all done, I’ve been wrapping as I go too, so only a few more things to get and wrap! I love Christmas shopping, I know it fills some people with dread. But I just love to buy things for other people. I like to put lots of thought into it and get them something special. I also love to wrap gifts! I like to add bows and curly ribbon and make them look all pretty. I get rather sad when they are all done, does anybody need a present wrapper??? I’d be quite happy to help lol!

There is nothing better than a Christmas tree surrounded by pretty parcels, although I am still missing a tree. Although I did hang my stockings on the fire place today (and no, I don’t mean the black silky seamed ones!!).

I would just like to thank our wonderful Mr.Darling for the extremely useful 11 pence that I saved on my shopping today after the wonderful VAT cut. I was beaming with excitement at saving so much money and I am still deciding what to spend it on!

I really don’t see what difference the 2.5% cut is going to make at all, especially as the price of EVERYTHING is continuing to rise anyway!!! What a good idea.
