Nearly there.......

Another week of getting ready and finishing off.. I think I've just about done all the cards..

And wrapped the presents - as we're off to Surrey for a present drop at my mum's and sister's. We're also having a brithday lunch for my husband - can't show you his card - just in case he peeks, but I'm quite happy with the idea - hope he will be!

There's one present that won't make it into those we're dropping off - it's still at this stage

 

so it'll have to be a nice New Year gift..

 

Then it's back to work - I've still got a bit of writing to get done next week - and then get ready for  the festivities. The tree is up with the lights on, but it's waiting its full trim up for when we return.

 

This week also saw the end of the washing machine, but luckily a new one was available, delivered and is now installed and working its way through the last of the laundry pile.

 

Then it's action stations for next Saturday when my stepson gets married - Graeham picked up his posh gear yesterday (quite surreal going from the local derby football match on the terraces and then into the calm that is Moss Bros!).

 

 

Phew - roll on Christmas when we can just walk down for the swim (no, I'm spectating only!!) and then put our feet up with a glass of something!

 

 

My trip over to Handmade Monday may be delayed until we return! But to everyone there - many thanks for the lovely comments each week - I get a real kick out of receiving and reading them... I guess my New Year's Resolution muct be about commenting more on all of yours!

 

Have a lovely Christmas.....
