The night before Christmas...

Finally it's here, after colds, a heavy work load, more colds, crafting, Christmas shopping, wrapping presents, cake making, biscuit making, finishing work and secret Santa, and of course the Strictly Final (phew) we're finally here!

Half way!

This week the UK starts with a bank holiday, and I'll start with a new age…

How did this happen?

I've hit the big 40, I still feel like a teenager!  Friday started with a decorated desk from my lovely work colleagues, with hastily removed balloons as believe it or not I have an allergy to them. 

Our friends Al & Tunde came over for fish, chips and pea fritters in the evening from our local chip shop (the best ever!) 

Dinner with family, tea and cake with friends and a collectors fair still to come x
