How many sleeps?

Thank you all for your kind comments and wishes on the last couple of posts, Internet connection has
Been sporadic to say the least but I will reply as soon as I can.  I did feel for the stall holders
that need some additional income, it must be hard for them,  I am lucky that I do it for Little Miss and
the fun in making the bits is my reward.  Nice also to see the stash shrinking a little too..ha ha


And so it begins the countdown with this

And the little voices asking how many sleeps, and where they are on the naughty or good list, has Santa planted secret cameras to check what they are up to? and what are they getting??? Questions , questions...

The advent calendars have started and Little Miss is asking when we will decorate?  This weekend looks favourite ......we are going out with a friend and her daughter on Saturday and then I imagine
DH and Little Miss will get the boxes down.

I am sort of excited but need to find my Christmas oomph to really get in the spirit.  I know when memories flood back as each box is opened and the sparkle starts there will be no stopping me!!!
Next week we have our special anniversary and I have been promised a nice lunch overlooking the sea ...looking forward to that.

The Christmas CDs are being played, and the Polar Express was viewed last night by the kids....

Christmas cactus blooming 

and bringing  some colour to 

otherwise grey looking days.

Last year's  bulb waking up.

A few new ornaments too

I shopped around and all

these came in under £15 and 

I know they are nice to 

 display not only at Christmas time

but Autumn too. 

Two swap contents wrapped , just need 

a card and envelope 

and off they go.

See you soon
