No Sale Shopping For Me!

Hell no!

I have enough of shops as I work in them, so instead yesterday I went for a walk with the in laws and their church friends.

Such a beautiful day for it too.



3 miles we walked, 



Not quite enough to walk off all the food I have eaten, however surely its a start no?


How cute does my father in law look with his trousers tucked into his socks?!


Bless them, they are lovely.

Have you hit the sales?

Or are you avoiding them to?

A Busy Christmas Day...

Firstly let me say we had a fantastic Christmas, busy but fantastic.

Heres just a few highlights of our day;

I was awoken with a yummy cup of tea, Christmas candles and music by my lovely husband.

And when we got down stairs we had a roaring fire too!


Sleepy girls opened many gifts,


Once dressed we visited my sister in law and her family for more gifts,


And a few funny faces were pulled,



Ashleigh loved every thing she had,


My nephew even had a heart shaped blemish for the day, can you make it out?


Many family photos were taken,


This sign stated the obvious,


The table was made to look pretty,


And the girls just wanted to have fun!


Paper hats were a must, 


Sea food starters filled our bellies,



With cheese for Kassie,


The mother in law and I enjoyed our food,


And the cheshire cat has nothing on these two!


And my father in law showed why we should never leave him alone with matches!


A yummy home made chocolate torte,


And pavolva,


Even more gifts,


Kassie's boyfriend obviously loved his gifts,


I was very pleased with my gardening apron,


Andy got the horn!


And a pair of working boots for the allotment,


And the evening finished with sing star!




What a fantastic day!

Hope yours was too.

The Day That Was..

By now I will have eaten far too much of this...

Drunk a rather lot of this....

And opened (I hope) a few of these too.
Looks just like my stitch...
Don't you think?

Hope you've had a great Christmas.

And Happy Boxing day.
