Merry Christmas

Feeling a lot better, I'm on the mend from my flu but I'm still not great and I have never been so behind with my Christmas preparations. My hubby says he has never seen me so ill in all our 31 years of marriage! I managed to get all the Christmas orders off in the end, thanks for your patience and I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for your custom in 2008 x

Good News

The painting is nearly finished and the carpet is going down on Tuesday. Unfortunately the windows will need to be fitted after I have moved back in as there is just not enough time to get them done. I am expecting to move my desk and computer back in next weekend. Hopefully then I can get my house put back to normal before Christmas! I spent ages yesterday trying to set up a picture for my Christmas cards. I risked life and limb with an Imperial scorpion, she did not want to wear her Santa hat or grab her little sack. That photo sadly didn't work, she very nearly stung me but my daughter thought it was hilarious and took a few shots, no doubt it will end up on her Facebook. When my hus...
