I Suck!

I apologise for my complete and utter rubbishness, I promised to update and then didn’t. I’m definitely going to get nothing but a lump of coal in my stocking from Santa this year.

Any-hoo, moving on. We have come on leaps and bounds in our house lately with all the decorating, we now have new (colour co-ordinated) curtains in the front room and, and curtains in the spare room (well it only took 15 months) so that now when guests stay over we won’t have to tape brown paper up to the window to stop them being blinded at 6am when the sun streams through the window at the back of the house, we are, however, not quite out of the woods, as I in my wisdom have decided that the perfectly nice cream linen curtains need to be dyed navy so that they better contrast with the rug and sofa bed cover we have from Ikea (tried to find a link to a picture of the bed cover but can’t, take it from me though it’s really nice), so I’m really making a rod for my own back, but the housing market being what it is we’ll be stuck where we are for the next 5-6 years, so I might as well make the house look like I want it to.

I am very excited as this year I will be participating in for the first time the patented Weetabix Holiday Card Exchange! I love getting Christmas cards, but don’t tend to get many now as where I work people usually just send an e-mail saying “Merry Christmas, we’ve made a donation to charity this year instead of sending cards” which is great in a Bob Geldof type way, but I still like getting cards, so this year I will get loads – yippee.

Plus I have these great things to hang them up with, I am such a sucker for kitschy Christmas crap!

Also we’re going to buy our tree this weekend, a little early I know, but this is our first real Christmas in this house and I want to make the most of it, hopefully some nice pictures as well, that is if Saffi doesn’t pull it down in the first five minutes.

That’s all for now, but I will update tomorrow, I promise, cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye, I always thought that was a little gruesome for children to be saying, but I suppose it did me no harm, hey no sniggering at the back!
